Start her up with school
She’ll end up in tower and power
Give’em to teachers
They’ll show them light and right
Let her go to school
She’ll come home lawyer and engineer
Give her education
She will bring you honor and favor
Start up on the streets
She’ll end up in shame and blame
Give her to husband
She’ll bring you dowry of cowry
Leave her on the street
She’ll come home raped and abused
Give her hawking tray
She’ll sell you viles and lies.
