Black Beauty

Black, black beauty, beautiful

Mind, body and soul

And everywhere in-between

Ain't that what you see?

She's a black, black beauty

Such a precious gift to behold

There's a story to be told

Wanna hear it, here it goes

Papa was a rollin' stone

Mama had to work, she was always gone

So it wasn't long before the streets became her home

You see, she was educated through urban exploitation

And graduated with honors

And now she's hopeless, left with brokenness

The streets ain't worth the hurt they cause

Let me tell you who you are

Black, black beauty, beautiful

Mind, body and soul

And everywhere in-between

Ain't that what you see?

She's a black, black beauty

Such a precious gift to behold

There's a story to be told

Wanna hear it, here it goes

Her body's worth more than his words

But so well-spoken, they serve as tokens

Used to purchase a moment

And she's no wiser, insecurities tend to blind her

While reality seems to bind her

And now she's hopeless, left with brokenness

But he ain't worth the pain he caused

Let me tell you who you are

Black, black beauty, beautiful

Mind, body and soul

And everywhere in-between

Ain't that what you see?

Black, black beauty, beautiful

Such a precious gift to behold

I'm singin' this just to let you know

That God made you, so you're beautiful

Her strength of mind has the power to change the world

Instead she believes in lies that poison the soul

And told she could never be, would never be

Anything beyond what eyes could see

And for that pain, she medicates heavily

And now she's hopeless, left with brokenness

The drugs ain't worth the hurt they cause

Let me tell you who you are

Black, black beauty, beautiful

Mind, body and soul

And everywhere in-between

Ain't that what you see?

Black, black beauty

Such a precious gift to behold

I'm singin' this just to let you know

That God made you, so you're beautiful

Mind, body and soul, they all go

Hand in hand, that's what makes you whole

Let no one take advantage

You're too precious, preserved to endure

That's what you are, a reflection of His love

So don't be hopeless, let go of brokenness

Let it go, let it go

And remember who you are, you're a

Black, black beauty, beautiful

Mind, body and soul

And everywhere in-between

Ain't that what you see?

Black, black beauty

Precious gift to behold
