Something Wonderful Songtext
von Lowkey

You do something wonderful
You chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
It throws me back again

I′m trying to be a good man, I can't speak for the others
Know the saying "Heaven lies at the feet of your mother"

Mine showed me the definition of hard working
Smiles through her tears even though her heart′s hurting

Speaks her mind and never ever bites her tongue
I guess today you could say I'm just like my mum
Great grandmother was in Beirut in '82
In a flat when it got invaded by Israeli troops
Sleeping in the hallway for shelter from the bullets
And that′s why I′ll always respect her to the fullest
Physically gone, her memories are kept in a picture
In Baghdad my nan slept with a Beretta in her slipper


You're judged as a man by everything you amount to
And the respect that you show the women around you
So think about this stuff when you diss her
That′s somebody's daughter, somebody′s mother and somebody's sister

You do something wonderful
You chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
It throws me back again

I′m not claiming to be perfect, I know what a curve is
But a woman's worth isn't just on the surface
I see too many young women craving affection
Degrading themselves for a male′s attention
I know it′s love that you're certain that you felt
Messing with these different guys, you′re just searching for yourself
Would it be whorish to boast how high her score is?
When a man does it, a player is what you call him
What if it's all just lies when she talks to guys?
Displays promiscuous ways like a source of pride

Would it make you squirm if the tables turned?
Is that really what it would take to make you learn?


You′re judged as a man by everything you amount to
And the respect that you show the women around you
So think about this stuff when you diss her
That's somebody′s daughter, somebody's mother and somebody's sister
I said think about this stuff when you diss her
That′s somebody′s daughter, somebody's mother and somebody′s sister

You do something wonderful
You chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
It throws me back again

Certain things are too deep to put in a verse
Let me apologise to every single woman I've hurt
Or disrespected, whether family members or exes
I wanna make amends for however I left it
Men make them but the women get harmed in wars
I pray for a heart as pure as Assata Shakur′s
We put 'em down but on a pedestal we should put ′em

Behind every good man there's a good woman
Betty Shabazz lost her husband to the handguns
And lost her life when her house was burnt down by her grandson
Kabila saw her father murdered when the hammer sparked
So I feel her pain when she tried to murder Farrakhan

You're judged as a man by everything you amount to
And the respect that you show the women around you
So think about this stuff when you diss her
That′s somebody′s daughter, somebody's mother and somebody′s sister
I said think about this stuff when you diss her
That's somebody′s daughter, somebody's mother and somebody′s sister

You do something wonderful
You chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
It throws me back again
