Texty: Rosey. The Time.

I talked to grandma just the other day
She said, "Girl child, time you get things straight
And with the time, get with the time
Do what you want girl, and do it all the time"

She said, "When I was a girl no one cared, they just thought me crazy
When my opinions shared time with their minds, so unkind
The way they pushed me down, they pushed me around
And made me sorry, that I had a mouth"

Get with the time, girl child, don't expect him to see
What a beautiful woman should be
It's your time girl child
If he don't like it there's one right behind

She said, "Girl child, don't be afraid to
Come forward and let your voice be heard
Don't let nobody make you so scared
You can't get to where you're going, where are you going"

Get with the time, girl child, don't expect them to see
What a beautiful woman should be
It's your time girl child
If he don't like it, there's one right behind

Grandmother, mother, child, sister and wife

Do you want me, I'm much more than a body
To be looked at by your ugly expression
Of what a beautiful woman should be

Grandmother, mother, child, sisters, my sisters and wives

Make it hot, so hot that they scream it
What a beautiful woman should be
It's your time girl child
If he don't like it, I got some friends in mind

'Cause you know, when it's time to go
Get with, get with, get with the time
Grandmother, mother, child, sister and wife
