Story Behind The Song

I was listening to a radio show where to topic was "Women Taking Care of Men". In the show many women called in to say how tired they are of helping men that don't want to help themselves. This inspired me to write a song.

Song Description

In this song you have a woman that works hard while her man does nothing but give her excuses for why he is not working. This woman has had enough and she wants him out. Towards the end of the song the man speaks his piece in a Jamaican "chat" (rap). The women still concludes that she wants him out.

Verse 1
Just gimme my house keys
And the keys to my car

I'll take my piece of mind
Cause I work hard

I'm a modern woman, no won?t stand for stress
I set me standards
And I want the, I want the best

Chorus
Why do you keep pulling me down
When I got my feet on solid ground
Why do you keep pulling me down
Sistas gotta work hard no time for games

Why do you keep pulling me down
When I got my feet on solid ground
Why do you keep pulling me down
Sistas gotta work hard no time for games

Verse 2
Saw your friends new house
you coulda had that to

But your not willing, your not willing to do what you need to do
I work all night and I'm up in the daytime too

While you don't help, your just sitting on my couch eating all my food
I want you out, I want you out, boy I want you out

Chorus
Why do you keep pulling me down
When I got my feet on solid ground
Why do you keep pulling me down
Sistahs gotta work hard no time for games

Why do you keep pulling me down
When I got my feet on solid ground
Why do you keep pulling me down
Sistahs gotta work hard no time for games

CHATTER CHATS
Yes I sit on the couch just to rest my weary feet
And yes me eat a little food, cause an man affy eat

Come girl don?t be so hard
mi can?t fine work dem want man fe want dog

Girl ah you mi desire no pucker dem lips let me light fi you fire
You know you ah mi sugar

Baby mi love you you know
I Sa

Final Bridge
Alright you got jokes
Talkin all that trash, thats why your always broke
By the way I heard you mention love
Late at night its not you I'm thinking of

You don?t work, don?t clean you don't even bother to try to romance me

I'm not trying to teach you what you shoulda known
You better call your moms to say your coming back home

Boy I'm tired of these games...

You took my sweetness for weakness boy


Whyyyy, why you keeping pulling me.. I got my feet
Sistahs gotta work hard not time for games...

Chorus
Why do you keep pulling me down
When I got my feet on solid ground
Why do you keep pulling me down
Sistas gotta work hard no time for games

Why do you keep pulling me down
When I got my feet on solid ground
Why do you keep pulling me down

I got my feet on solid ground, And I want you outtttttttttttttttttttttttttt
