Melanin Monroe
Love is not consolation
It is light
Thin line between minds the wrong and the right
Beauty that enchants me, paralyses sight
It's like, nothing else matters in this crazy life
Nature does nothing in vain beautiful you
Mahogany, my ebony the black woman you
You're the black pearl my black world a mother too
The black in your melanin is what am digging boo
I will climb the mount Everest, I'll walk the fires too
I say this on the regular you always keep it true
When the rough gets we're the toughest on the move
I noticed that you got my back is when the feelings grew
Sometimes you make the highs higher and the lows frequent
Break up to make up, but still we believe it
Best kept secret is the bond that we are keeping
It's the song that am speaking, it's the poems from the deepest
Be proud of your melanin, be happy with your skin
Baby girl your intelligent the beauty is within
Not in that Brazilian, but what you're gifted in
It's the character, your heart, it's that duty discipline
Phenomenal woman it's the fire in your eyes
Keep your head sky high with the confidence inside
Dominance and pride never showing lowered eyes
Feminist that's in the building show them what's alive
Get them by surprise show them how you may teach them
Running not crawling but their clipping your Achilles
They want you in the kitchen not a president or leader
Not a doctor or a lawyer better show them you can beat it
Encountering defeat don't mean that you're defeated
You win or you learn that's how the iron's heated
Be strong black woman you're the keeper highest seeded
Black don't crack dominant gene that's needed
It is light
Thin line between minds the wrong and the right
Beauty that enchants me, paralyses sight
It's like, nothing else matters in this crazy life
Nature does nothing in vain beautiful you
Mahogany, my ebony the black woman you
You're the black pearl my black world a mother too
The black in your melanin is what am digging boo
I will climb the mount Everest, I'll walk the fires too
I say this on the regular you always keep it true
When the rough gets we're the toughest on the move
I noticed that you got my back is when the feelings grew
Sometimes you make the highs higher and the lows frequent
Break up to make up, but still we believe it
Best kept secret is the bond that we are keeping
It's the song that am speaking, it's the poems from the deepest
Be proud of your melanin, be happy with your skin
Baby girl your intelligent the beauty is within
Not in that Brazilian, but what you're gifted in
It's the character, your heart, it's that duty discipline
Phenomenal woman it's the fire in your eyes
Keep your head sky high with the confidence inside
Dominance and pride never showing lowered eyes
Feminist that's in the building show them what's alive
Get them by surprise show them how you may teach them
Running not crawling but their clipping your Achilles
They want you in the kitchen not a president or leader
Not a doctor or a lawyer better show them you can beat it
Encountering defeat don't mean that you're defeated
You win or you learn that's how the iron's heated
Be strong black woman you're the keeper highest seeded
Black don't crack dominant gene that's needed
