You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good
and bad
But I'm the kinda woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But
they couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child
I'd rather go hungry
I got all of
Ethiopia
Inside of me
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless
land
That delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can
see
Chorus:
This is a woman's world.
This is my world.
This is a woman's
world
For this man's girl.
There ain't a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little
girl,
That can't deliver love
In a man's world.
I've born and I've
bread.
I've cleaned and I've fed.
And for my healing wits
I've been called a
witch.
I've crackled in the fire
And been called a liar.
I've died so many
times
I'm only just coming to life.
Chorus
My blood flows
Through
every man and every child
In this godless land
That delivered me
I cried so many
tears even the blind can see
