BLACK GIRL SHIT

I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic
I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic
I'm on my black girl shit (natural)
Look at my skin, it don't crack a bit (factual)
Black girls ain't got time for gravity (level up)
Heads they be wanting our strategy (that's for sure) (aye, okay)

I'm in the sun not for vitamin D
Tryna get skin that's as dark as Lupita
I want that blue-black
I want that skin that made orange the new black
Crazy eyes on my locks if ain't falling
Baby, mine they gon' stand up they coiling
Stay behind, we gon' grab yo' ass forward
Miseducated, gon' save you for Lauryn

Aye, you amongst queens
And when we reign we pouring
Said it would be abhorrent
Anyone to ignore that
DNA strands of the black woman golden
Like a rope chain, heads twisted, we glowing
No need for shade, it's embedded, it's coded
Couldn't change even if we wanted
Producing chicks that be iller than covid, watch

Shit, I be really bless if I Winfrey bread
We hold our ninjas down, that's word to Winnie man
Della Reese showed me real quick, how to hit a man
Haters they been to keep our light hidden man, yeah
My mama she look like my sister B
Tight son like Cecilly
Kept our shit twisted B
Like fuck a weave and a perm
Nigga, I ain't from Sicily

I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic
I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic
I'm on my black girl shit (natural)
Look at my skin, it don't crack a bit (factual)
Black girls ain't got time for gravity (level up)
Heads they be wanting our strategy (that's for sure)

I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic (I'm on it, I'm on it)
I'm on that black girl shit (yeah)
That's that black girl magic (I'm on that black girl shit)
I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic (yeah)

I'm on that black girl shit (right)
That's that black girl magic (yeah)
I'm on my black girl shit (natural)
Look at my skin, it don't crack a bit (factual) (don't crack a bit)
Black girls ain't got time for gravity (level up)
Heads they be wanting our strategy (that's for sure) (that's black as shit)

I think what you're trying to ask yourself
Why am I so insistent upon giving out to them that black-ness
That black-power, that black pushing
Them to identify with uh-uh um, black culture

My melanin poppin', they thinking a perm
I'm thinking big chopping, get back to my birth
My lips is the fullest, rep black to the fullset
On black girl shit 'til I get back in the earth

I'm on that black girl shit (fact)
That's that black girl magic (right)
I'm on that black girl shit (uh)
That's that black girl magic

And I don't throw shade, we rock many shades
You can flip your shit, I'll put that on Simone
No raven, I send it on this microphone
Just rep blackness like you gon' visit back home

I'm on that black girl shit (yeah)
That's that black girl magic (ain't tryna switch, though)
I'm on that black girl shit (you let it be known)
That's that black girl magic

I think of my nieces, and all of their homegirls
To vibe on this thesis, they may have to grow up
Like check out yo' history, like anyone doubt us
They must've failed history 'cause we be them daughters
Yeah, we be them daughters of Lucy, I don't mean that loosely
Who else you know that birth the whole human race
I'm hiding amazing, so I can show grace
My modesty got you forgetting your place

Get back in yo' place
Black girls been killing since back in days
Queen to wench to queen again
Holding us down, you best think again
We'll get back up again

Standing on cards that was stacked up against
On that white bread, now, we racking up ends
Strapped with degrees, clapping with ease
Anything threatening that black girl shit
Sometimes you need your ego
Oh boy, they gonna be mad at you (gotta remind these fools)

I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic
I'm on that black girl shit
That's that black girl magic
I'm on my black girl shit (natural)
Look at my skin, it don't crack a bit (factual)
Black girls ain't got time for gravity (level up)
Heads they be wanting our strategy (that's for sure)

I'm on my black girl shit (natural)
Look at my skin, it don't crack a bit (look at my skin) (factual)
Black girls ain't got time for gravity (ain't got time) (level up)
Heads they be wanting our strategy (our strategy) (that's for sure)

To me, we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world
Black people
And I mean that in every, every sense
My job is to somehow make them curious enough or persuade them (I'm on my black girl shit)
By hook or crook to get more aware of themselves
And where they came from and what they are into (I'm on my black girl shit)
And what is already there and just to bring it out
This is what compels me to compel them
And I will do it by whatever means necessary
