From a Woman’s Hand Songtext
von Trey Songz

Tell me when you put a camera on a thug
The first thing out of his mouth is
I wanna thank my mama
And some say that causes drama

But its subliminal, theres no efforts needed
It′s like pouring water on the ground thats seeded
And you know it happens all the time
So I need to ask this question

Why, oh, why is it hard for dudes
To always be around?
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hands?

Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don′t come around?
It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand


Now tell me what turns a boy into a thug
Just as soon as he leaves the house
See, he don′t have a man to give him little rules
So he don′t be running in and out

But it's okay, ′cause mama's there
And mama′s doing the best that she could ever do
But the funny thing is when it's all said and done
She probably did it better than you could ever do

Why is it hard for dudes
To always be around?
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman′s hand?

Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don't come around?
It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman′s hand

Tell me how will a boy learn to stand on his own?
How can he make it all alone? How can he be responsible?
If he don′t have his daddy to show him how to be there
Not to minimize what his mama does for him


I'm just saying he gonna need y′all both
Can you tell me why, why, why
Does it gotta be so hard to do a daddy's job?
It′s gonna be hard for a boy to be that man

Why is it hard for dudes
To always be around?
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand?

Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don′t come around?
It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand

Why is it hard for dudes
To always be around?
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman′s hand?

Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don′t come around?
It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman′s hand

When you missing his first game
Don't even know the boy nickname, that′s a damn shame
'Cause you supposed to be the man
The daddy father, the boys role model
That′s supposed to be you, supposed to be you
