ALL WE KNEW 
When I asked my mama why we moved here anyway 
Mama simply looked at me, there wasn't much to say:
Well, honey, your daddy your daddy wanted to
See, in those times, and those cultural climes
That is all we knew 

​When I questioned my granny as I was want to do
Granny'd turn and smile at me like she always used to
Well, baby, your grandaddy it's what he wanted to do.
See, in my day, only men had their say
And that was all we knew.

When I asked my daughter what she proposed to do
She turned her face and smiled at me like she always knew:
Well, mama, any man I take will do what we agree to do
See, this new day, I will have my say and he’ll believe in me too
