Songs to Inspire and Uplift Black Women
Joe “What if a Woman”
“What if a Woman,
Took the keys to your whip
Said I’ll be right back
Don’t trip
What if a woman
Left you home with the kids
Changing diapers and Shyte
What a twist”
Think about “If I Were a Boy” being told from the lips of a man, Joe to be specific. “What if a Woman” is supposed to be directed at the fellas who can’t seem to do right, but it is also a song ringing in the ears of the devoted girlfriend or wife. In true Joe fashion, the underrated crooner is like Tyler Perry in all his films–the do-right, all knowing man who can break things down for the stubborn, wayward and confused. A definite head bobber, “What if a Woman” is just what an under-appreciated sistah needs to hear on a bad day, especially the part when he says, “What if she knocked you up and said it aint mine?” ALRIGHT!?
