[Intro]

Black woman

Black life

Domestic violence

What a life!

A change gonna come

My way

[Chorus]

Black woman, black life

Domestic violence, what a life!

A change gonna come my way

A change gonna come my way

[Verse 1]

He'd come home most every night

Then each night, we'd have a fight (Where's me dinner?!)

Baby cryin' in the room

I start swingin' the kitchen broom

[Chorus]

Black woman, black life

Domestic violence, what a life!

A change gonna come my way

A change gonna come my way

[Verse 2]

And then hе blew his pride and called thе cops

Then they'd come and we would stop

Policeman walked through the door

Don't wanna argue any more

[Chorus]

Black woman, black life

Domestic violence, what a life!

A change gonna come my way

A change gonna come my way

[Outro]

A change gonna come my way

A change gonna come my way

A change gonna come my way

My way, my way

My way
