How Would You Feel -- Jilly from Philly

Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
Tell me how you'd feel
What if I was gone forever? No more chocolate kisses, no nappy dugout ever,
No Mama, no daughter, no sister, no, no sister friends
Tell me my brother what would become of you then?
What if, poof, every black female in the world disappeared?
Your man-child left unattended lost without no one behind the steering wheel
Tell me, hmm mmm,
C'mon,how would that make you feel
C'mon,c'mon, help a sister say
Tell me how would you feel if I was, if I was gone? Tell how you'd feel

Your beautiful brown would be forever gone, with no more cocoa wombs to carry your brown on
You right there, would be the last of your kind
Can you feel this song? How does that affect your mind?
Cause if there was no me, there'd be no you. Ooo can you feel me, is this song coming through
That's the science in it, but it's so much more intense
Reach into your soul for the answer, reach wherever you need to, to find it
Tell me how would you feel if I was, if I was gone? Tell how you'd feel
No Mama, no daughter

Say you be tripping, say you pimping it,
Talking 'bout how you "Da Man", what you are is something different
By-product of when "Massa" ruled your life spreading babies everywhere
Couldn't think, couldn't care
But you can now, you can, you can
C'mon and man up dammit
Tell me how would you feel if I was, if I was gone? Tell how you'd feel
No mamma, no daughter
