It's too many black women that can say they mothers
But can't say that they wives
from Common (Ft. Lauryn Hill) – Retrospect for Life Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
A reference to the high amount of single black mothers out there, i.e. not married, raising a child on their own
One of the realest, deepest lyrics out there.
