You married me with a lot of money I know
but you should know that I’m not your property.
I’m not your slave. My mother still loves me
as your mother stills dies for you.
Never try to beat me with your arm
I’m not a qualified boxer. I don’t know to fight
because my lovely mom from born age
didn’t beat the way you do. My man, love the way you promised.
