Africans Change Thy Thought
Africans Change Thy Thought
African men change thy thought
I am a woman I agreed
I'm a wife not a slave
I'm thy mother do thee know?
I'm thy half half deen
Thee married me for what sake?
For beauty's or wealth's sake?
For children purpose or for God's sake?
For male children or what sake?
For religion purpose and character's sake?
Then you dejected me for bareness' sake
I was abandoned for male's sake
For affection do you marry?
For true love do thee marry?
I know how vital children are
I thought you will wrapped me with thy blanket
I am ashamed of myself
Throw away all thy thought
I am not an angel nor saint
But fact still remain I'm not harlot
I don't terminate any pregnancy
Remember! Thee are the one that unlocked the door
Thy family utterance I was depressed
Neighbourhood messages I was impressed
I was given aggressive names
I am called "Ako Pepeye"
I am named "Ako Ibepe"
It's my fault all the way?
Thee can marry thy second wife
It is well all the way
If thee want divorce you are free
I agreed it's my fate
I am a woman in her prime..
