The 75-year-old Black Woman

The sounds coming from your church Sunday morning
Are brought to you thanks to that 75-year-old Black woman

You know who she is because she raised you and your sister
She raised your mother while her best friend raised your father

Call her Mama, Madea, MaMaw or Aintee
You still know who she is and you know what she has done

She taught you everything you know and you act like
She never taught you a thing

She will outlive us all because she has always been right with God
And if our wives, our sisters and our mothers are lucky

Then one day they will be that 75-year-old Black woman
Who will teach another generation everything they know
