Touch of the Black Woman
Why must it often be rooted in pain?
Why must trauma be a driving force?
Why mama's mama's mama's daddy never grow up?
Hurt and heal and heal and hurt
Cycle unborn in proper rebirth
Black Woman requires all the credit she deserves
Touch of the Black Woman
She reigns
She reigns (She reigns)
Lift up and support
Credit and protect
Oh how she reigns
Respect the Black Woman
She reigns
She reigns (She reigns)
Black Woman owes you nothin
Capitalize on my trials, my pain (My pain)
Squirrel to all my nuances so let em die in vain
RECLAIM my time and take up all the space (Abundance)
Sittin quiet in the background, wasn't never built this way
Faucet of ideas and information brim-filled for days
Character questioned or questions considering all of the roles played
Hive mind been a necessary step up, step back approach to take
Raking in racks (Get the money) or racking up rolls (Get the money)
Black Woman the beginning and end
Everybody knows (Everybody knows)
Choosing to ignore it only means your life blows (P u!)
Sifting through any semblance of an opening
Still closed
Real raw raps put it all out there
Leavin everything exposed
Ms. Arie sang to me so pure (I am not my hair)
Told me I am not my hair (No no no no)
Miseducation gave me the keys and the gems (Mmm)
Remindin me to choose love and humanity, not fear (More life, more life)
So I say to myself and myself take a listen (Hmm)
Tol me my beauty is more than oppressor's flavor of the month (Beautiful)
Hug myself tight, handled with grace and compassion (I love myself)
Held up and held together (Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns)
By the power of the touch (Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns)
Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns
Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns
Touch of the Black Woman
She reigns
She reigns (She reigns)
Lift up and support (GODDESS)
Credit and protect
Oh how she reigns (PHARAOH)
Respect the Black Woman (NWANYIOMA)
She reigns
She reigns (She reigns)
(OMALICHA NWA)
Black Woman owes you nothin
Oh how she reigns (Queen)
(Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns)
Oh how she reigns (Omalicha Nwa)
(Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns)
Oh how she reigns (Chinye)
(Oh how she reigns, oh how she reigns)
Oh how she reigns (Nwanyioma)
Why must trauma be a driving force?
Why mama's mama's mama's daddy never grow up?
Hurt and heal and heal and hurt
Cycle unborn in proper rebirth
Black Woman requires all the credit she deserves
Touch of the Black Woman
She reigns
She reigns (She reigns)
Lift up and support
Credit and protect
Oh how she reigns
Respect the Black Woman
