A River Running Wild Video (MV)

A RIVER RUNNING WILD

Have you ever been under the thumb of a man
Known the hand and the arm of a man
Even white girls can be black and blue
And you thought it was only you

Have you ever known the anger of a man
The cruel phantasmagoria of a man
I was his but he was free
Only rich girls get to tag #metoo, you see

It's a river running wild, I tell you
For a woman and a child

Have you ever taken the name of a man
Had your body changed by, borne a child to, a man
He took all my swag and repaid me with deceit
I took a suitcase and his baby, and I voted with mah feet

It's a river running wild, I tell you
For a woman and a child

No more will they pump my stomach 'cos of a man
No more will I be kicked down the stairs by a man
Maybe I'll disappear over the horizon
But until I say I'm done, I won't ever be done

It's a river running wild, I tell you
For a woman and a child

It's a river running wild, I tell you
For a woman and a child

It's a river running wild
For a woman and a child
