Black Woman (feat. Stacy Barthe)

Uh, forever a queen, pure black and ever so clean

When shit get hot, you help me watch for what these devils could bring

Responsible nightmares and having federal dreams

And being grounded can bring you closer to heavenly things

I learn from you, I want you to teach me to love you

The missing piece to the puzzle, single parent hustle

I feel stupid, thought Cupid's arrows too dull to cut through

Sweet Sadie, you give me sugar, place none above you

That cocoa butter on skin, took the G out of me

Wanna be with a king, Coretta must be your kin

Gotta be color blind, you can't see you're a gem

Before I break the family branch, I'll go out on a limb

I love your eyes, the way you stare

I love your heart, how you provide for whomever's there

I promise I got you, you never had a lot, how could I fault you for this?

You like the closest thing to God, still we call you a bitch

Black woman

Woman

Don't you know you mean the world

Oh, you mean the world

Oh, woman

Woman

Uh, thanking God for your presence, you gifted, girl, you a blessing

Since these women are ours, let's cherish them every second

Times get harder, that's why your heart darker than Florida Evans

Simply precious, my muse, my beautiful imperfection

Mother nature gave me life, that's how they best describe it

The light of my life, but still we are forever blinded

They turn around, exploit your physicals and televise 'em

We more concerned with diamonds and rhymes about who's the flyest

Here's my lecture to recognize her, she timeless, why do they hate her?

From Nina Simone to Angela Davis

Hung up my jersey from modern day player

Know a single woman who struggles working double

But still could never do her no favors

Know a single woman who fucking ball players for paper

Training the adolescent mind to celebrate her

If no you, there is no me, how could I fault you for this?

You like the closest thing to God, still we call you a bitch

Black woman

Woman

Don't you know you mean the world

Oh, you mean the world

Oh, woman

Woman

Uh, I swear your hair is like the thickest cotton pickings

Heading for temptation, but that's not an option listed

And as I browse your mind, I'm learning that you're optimistic

Could probably vision us together, but that's not realistic

I heard the rumors twice over and they sound horrific

But I knows better, searching for your mouth to kiss in

Man, when I pray, I tell my God that you're His best invention

And when I'm done touching your mind, here's my next intention

A blessing, isn't it? A stand up ****, never pour me a four up

She wants the real me and I ain't hesitate when I showed her

This ain't checkers, it's chess, start our journey through flesh

Who the fuck are they kidding? You nurtured men through your breast

I bare these arms for protection, you point the finger at fault

Was handed nothing, you vanishing, I can't stomach the thought

I couldn't manage to be hip, the pain would damage my walk

My feet are tired, you embody everything I admire, my black woman

My black woman, oh, woman

Oh, woman, woman, oh, woman

Where would we be? Where would we be?

Without a woman

Without mothers

Without daughters or sisters

Grandmothers and aunts

Wives, girlfriends

Oh, woman
