Hell No!

You told Harpo to beat me?

I’m sorry.

I love Harpo. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him or anybody beat me.

All my life I had to fight

I had to fight my daddy

I had to fight my brothers

My cousins, my uncles too

But I never, never, never, never, never, never thought

I had to fight in my own house

I feel sorry for you

To tell you the truth

You remind me of my mama

Under your husband’s thumb

Naw, you under your husband’s foot

And what he say go

Why you so scared i'll never know

But if a man raise his hand

Hell no

Hell no

Girl child ain't safe in a family of mens

Sick ‘n tired how a woman still live like a slave

Oh, you better learn how to fight back

While you still alive

You show them girls and beat back that jive

Cause when a man just don't give a damn

Hell no

Hell no

What you gonna do then?

My sister’s gon’ come get me. I think i need me a vacation up away from here.

But harpo’s your husband. You got to stay with him. I know you love him.

When that man used to touch me

He climb on top and start to rock me away

Lord knows I still loves him

But he try to make me mind

And I just ain't that kind

Hell no

Sometimes my husband get on me so hard, it hurt me all over, but he my husband so I just talk to my old maker.

This life'll soon be over. Heaven lasts always.

What you ought to do is bash mister’s head open.

And think on heaven later. You can’t stay here, girl.

Gonna be your tree

Somethin’ to hold on to

In your time of need

Girl you’re too good for that man

Damn that man

Gonna take you away

Take my hand, sista, you got to go

Don't be no fool, don't waste your time

Any man who hurts you ain’t worth a dime

Well he won't know til you gone
