Intro:
When they get 'em some fame they don't prefer you
Call you out of your name they want to slur you
Every venomous word I know you've heard it
Not now I'd rather give you the world, I know you're worth it black girl

Verse 1
Now look here lady can you keep a secret
See I've been thinking we don't compliment you quite as frequent
You're out of sight and out of mind baby you can see it
When every other video is full of Europeans
I'm intervening on behalf of those who never speak it
Because you got every single attribute I need to be with
I'm talking dread lock, natural, silky weave in
I'm not concerned with your hairstyle I'm thinking about the lady underneath it
Listen, the family's going delirious
You're the missing ingredient, pay attention I'm serious
You are the heart you are the soul you are the spirit
You are the blessing, you are the weapon that had them fearing us
That's why they had to take the glory from you
Rearrange "his"tory change the story of you
It only works if you're believing it too but that could never be true
So black girl it's dedicated to you

Hook:
Beating down the corner grooving
Why you want to keep it moving
Lady when you see me cruising by don't walk away
You say you know how brothers like to do you
Loud and when they're stepping to you
Yanking on your arm and...we know that ain't the way

Verse 2:
You maintain with an effortless grace
And you don't really have to make up your face
But when I see you at the counter displays I get amazed
You come in every shade, ebony mocha to honey beige
Oooh so fine, skin smooth as usual
Even over time because improving is what you usually do
The sun rays with melanin so suitable
To help you when you age you manage to stay beautiful
Still, you got media monsters
So quick to make a rift creating a conflict
Which skin tone is in, they fill you with nonsense
Putting lies in your ears divide you and conquer
They tried it back in the day with paper sacks
We're hipper to the game so we're making it past that
Because black thick as molasses high yellow with glasses
Caramel and passionate, damn it I gotta have it

Hook

Verse 3
We don't discriminate with who we lay with under covers
But get upset when we see you with another lover
And all the years you had to put up with the "other" brothers
The convicts, now these down low mutha...
And all the rest were bed hopping so you couldn't trust us
We wouldn't stop it, you finally said you wouldn't touch us
Our misbehavior might disgust you but we discovered
You held a grudge but you never held no one above us
For that I love you, even despite
Every wrong, every foul song I give you my life
Apologize for all the womanizing and bitter fights
Baby we can never take it back so we're making it right
Listen to me, you got a beautiful smile I'm trying to bring it back
Maybe next time we're the one you're pointing the finger at
We got a ring for that, because it's reserved for the real black pearl
The heart of my whole world, black girl

Hook:

Outro:
Black girl be who you are, be proud of who you are
Much more than a superstar, you're a supernova
Black girl be who you are, be proud of who you are
Much more than a superstar, you're a supernova
