[Intro] b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood [Verse 1] Now imagine that there's a shorty Maybe fatherless or optionless Grinding from checks depositing Trying to get on public housing list Mother meets a man with ample amount of funds But in order to get that she's gotta give 'em some So he treats her like a beats her so he cleans her up to keeps her Like a scream in your in zits her Like a b**h well You wonder how she got the whole idea Her ear to the wall she could hear him pretty clear Oh you make me mad b**h shut up or get slapped b**h Roll over or stand b**h who's a f**ing man b**h See what I'm saying is the bed you make you lay in But what you put out well it kinda remains the same Well you might not be believing what you hear But the objects they tend to mirror be closer than they appear so To sit instead she learned it from her mother But imagine how it all affected her little brother [Chorus] b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood I'm k**ing these b**hes b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood They misunderstood [Verse 2] Now imagine how little brothers maybe 9 or 10 They have no idea exactly what's relaying on his end Until one day he's out and probably playing with his friends And to beat and treat a woman like a b**h is what he pretends We thought that his sister would be the peon in all his drama But mixed with misconceptions it's hatred for his mama He grows up to hate the weakness in a woman Thinks that if he beats her it will potentially make her stronger Ah the plot thickens Little boy in by stand gets infected with a sickness See he grew up wishing his father would come and fix it With his mama awaiting she'll abuse meant power But the abuse to put his fist in all the little boys dreams Till he shifted it and mixed with sh** and To be what he hated wasn't the aim But his hatred really made him exactly what he became [Chorus] b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood I'm k**ing these b**hes b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood They misunderstood [Verse 3] Ok b**h was just a weapon I'm using it to suggest that The primary example is usually the parents see Mama didn't stand up 'cause mama couldn't lift her chin up With all the shame she carried she figured they won't forgive her see Mama didn't notice that the baby wasn't old enough She couldn't really show em that there's nowhere left to go but up All mama had to do is look and listen Mama as afraid as both of her little children So she let 'em hear it, let 'em see it Let 'em grow up let 'em be it When all she had to do was just show up and help 'em beat it Now as they grew up in the world The little boy's lost and has him a little girl And his life chaning in hurt again he don't ever wanna see hurt by men To protect her from everything on earth if he can And that moment he understand Women should never be hurt by words or hands And just like that that little boy becomes a man [Chorus: x3] b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood I'm k**ing these b**hes b**h bad, woman good Lay it better they misunderstood They misunderstood They misunderstood
