Blk Grl (feat. Liseli B, Lou May & Liberty Jordan) [Remix]
Yeah
I went away for a minute
I found some paper then picked up the pen again
I had to get out those lyrics that got stuck in my head again
Yet again, how you been?
I married to the music, gave her the wedding ring once again
I loved melanin before loving melanin was a trend
I thought they lost their voice
They probably been screaming out "BLM"
And no I can't pretend
So I had to extend
An invitation to the sisters to kill this beat once again
Remix
See the rhythm in your step when you walk
And you got power in your words when you talk
Yeah, there's a beauty that lies within
They wanna contain me, you can't erase it yeah
I could talk about my struggle with my skin
But I'd rather not go too deep under the surface
Cos I know you can't handle it, can't take it in yeah
Melanin queen you gotta stand strong
Wear your crown and don't let 'em take it off
You're a provider of light
And you shine so bright
See your hips and your lips and your hair
They wanna hate on everything but you don't even care
Cos now is your time
It just feels so right
This is your story, in all its glory
But this not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song
This is not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song
You're too dark, you're too blick
That's what they used to say
Your hair must be fake
How can it be real when you look that way?
Ignorance is bliss that's why they hate all day
They said tone it down sis
You're too aggressive
See comments like these, are so oppressive
Intimidated by my beauty
The intelligence resides within me
I love my brown skin
So smooth and so luscious
Looking good in every colour
Yeah, yeah
But its deeper than my skin
Come and look within
See a black queen raised me, taught me how to act
Love, faith, integrity that's where its at
Hold my head up high
And I promise that
That this is not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song
He called it woman
Yeah he called it woman
Oh yeah
Though he painted me with the finest blend
He dressed me in the perfect skin
Placed a crown of curls on my head
Still my adorning
Is more than my jewellery
God-given jewellery
It's the imperishable beauty of a gentle spirit
Serene, yeah so serene
It's not gonna fade no
It's not gonna fade no
This is not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song, yeah
This is not a love song, okay
This is not a love song
I went away for a minute
I found some paper then picked up the pen again
