Black Woman

You're so, exquisite and powerful beautiful bold
You're just, way more amazing than rumors been told
No surprise if, you sipped from the fountain of youth cause you know
Black don't crack you refuse to get old
Intellectually intelligent the wisest
Thoughtful, loving, compassionate provider
A dream come true a fantasy desire
You a drug and ain't no substitute, don't nothing get me higher
Strong enough to endure all the hurt
But I'm not saying it's ok to be the mule of the world
You check on us before we get to check on you
Say we good but you be knowing that ain't true
Creative partner, advisor, accountant
Find a way to get it done even if you move a mountain
A sister, mother, auntie, a queen
A natural star belong on a screen
Your confidence is radiant, you're comfortable in your skin
System designed for you to lose, you prove em wrong and just keep winning
Physically incomparable how you sculpted
An empowering force you influence the culture
Love so pure I fiend to taste it
Sadly it's not shown but you're appreciated
Don't get the respect you deserve or get properly treated
But trust me when I say that you're needed black woman

I know they drag you through the dirt
But you don't lay there hurt
You always grow black woman
From the color of your skin
I love your melanin
Don't you forget black woman
I appreciate you black woman
I appreciate you black woman
Black woman, black woman, black woman, black woman

It's something bout your skin and yo touch
Baby girl you've been through so much
And if you fall I'll be yo crutch
Let me hold you down, while I lift you up
The sky's insecure how you make the moon jealous
And every time you smile you mimic the moons crescent
Earth's biggest blessings, precious in all your essence
And I apologize, we've simply been real selfish
Melanin vibes smooth as the sunrise
Looking in your eyes get lost and tongue tied
Prisoner of your aura, admirer of all your ways
A pleasure being in your presence, affected mind in a daze
Cause who can turn a bastard child into a king
Who could ride for us even in our Tory lanes
And as the world turns, going through growing pains
You can make miracles happen over and over again
From your locs, to your weave, even your finger waves
Honestly it seems you can perfect anything
I love you just the way you are, you're a queen you're star
Shine bright, and please don't ever change
The say you gotta attitude because you speak your mind
And in the saddest mood, you're still one of a kind
Remarkable, heaven sent, elegant in your element, effortless
And yet still so divine Black Woman

I know they drag you through the dirt
But you don't lay there hurt
You always grow black woman
From the color of your skin
I love your melanin
Don't you forget black woman
I appreciate you black woman
I appreciate you black woman
Black woman, black woman, black woman, black woman
