Hell No! (Timbaland Remix) [From the Original Motion Picture “The Color Purple”]

All my life, I've had to fight (Hmm)

I had to fight my daddy

Had to fight my brothers

My cousins, my uncles, too

But I never, never, never, never, never, never thought I'd have to fight in my own house (Hm, hm)

And I got two good feet, but I can't stand for that, hmm

Come on, Danielle, hmm, hmm

I feel sorry for you

To tell you the truth, hmm

You remind me of my mama

Under your husband's thumb, no

You under your husband's foot

What he say go

Why you so scared?

I'll never know

But if a man raise his hand, hell no!

Hell, hell, hell no! (Hmm)

Hell no!

Hell, hell, hell no!

Oh, hell no, hmm

Aye, cleaned him up, washed his ass like dishes, all rags, no riches

Lacin' up his boots to go to work so he can stand on business

Playin' in my face wit' your mistress and I still wasn't trippin'

Knock me up, just to knock me up, oh, hell no, let's get it

Your teacher asked a question and I guarantee your hand was low

Actin' like you shy in class, with me, you do your big one though

If you raise your hand to me, I hope that mean you finna clap

'Cause if you bring it to my door, it's stamped, I'ma send it back

Hell, hell, hell no!

You and all that disrespectin' head to the door

When I do my dance, only time I'm on the floor

And I don't even let a man take me that low, ah

Girl child ain't safe in a family of mens, uh

Sick and tired of how a woman still live like a slave, oh

You better learn how to fight back while you still alive

You show 'em, girls, and beat back that jive

'Cause when a man just don't give a damn, hell no!

Hell, hell, hell no! (Hell no!)

Hell, hell, hell no!

Oh, hell no!

Hell, hell, hell no! (Hell no!)

Hell, hell, hell no!

Oh, you got to say, you need to say

You better say, you ought to say (Hell)

Hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, hell no!
