When you talk to her talk to her

Like you want somebody to talk to your mama

Just like you fight for your sister

If you knew that somebody dissed her

How you gonna care for your daughter

Turn around and talk bad about her mama?

Same way you listen to your auntie

Never interrupt while she speaks

Make your words sweet like candy

As if you were talking to your granny yeah
