Labor Pains

Just clap ya hands to the beat, all my ladies! Just clap ya hands to the beat. C'mon!

Just clap ya hands to the beat, all my ladies! Just clap ya hands to the beat. C'mon!

Just clap ya hands to the beat, if you feel me. Just clap ya hands to the beat

Cause these are the breaks, our labor pains!

Sometimes I just feel lost, like I can't get a hold on things

Trying to make my life have some meaning, constantly I'm fighting, work so hard to fulfill my dreams

Work my hands to the bone, just to ask myself what it's all for

When you work to pay bills, there's no thrills, yeah, and still I keep on cause I know that (? )

And no matter how hard

(It don't matter, no it don't matter)

All my ladies stay strong

(Stay strong for me, ladies)

Roll with the punches that this life may bring, cause these are the breaks, our labor pains!

Oh, Lord I just want to be

Happy, I swear I just want to have peace

With all this drama in front of me

Makes me want to just scream, break these chains and live stress free

And I know it just don't happen

Got to be willing to pay the price

Being a woman ain't nothing nice, living in a man's world, bearing burdens still with a smile

But you gotta hold on sistas. You gotta hold on, sistas, hold on!

Hold on to your dignity and keep the faith so you can make, the world will change their power to create

To populate by giving birth

Through labor pains you multiply the Earth

So, sistas, hold on, hold on, sistas, hold on

Hold on to your liberty

Freedom of speech, to say your piece

Has made peace and love over war

Calamity, insanity, you calm the seas

To grow the family

And no matter how hard

(It don't matter, no it don't matter, naw, naw)

All my ladies, stay strong

(Stay strong for me, ladies)

Roll with the punches this life may bring

Cause these are the breaks, our labor pains!

And no matter how hard

(It don't matter, no it don't matter, naw, naw)

All my ladies stay strong!

(Stay strong for me, ladies)

Roll with the punches this life may bring

Cause these are the breaks, our labor pains!

And no matter how hard

(It don't matter, no it don't matter,)

All my ladies stay strong!

(Stay strong for me, ladies!)
