We Real Cool

Wind catching our hair as we walk down the street
Bodies covered, curves showing, hips moving to their own beat

We real cool

No makeup no weaves bask in our natural beauty
Not even tempted when guys call us cutie

We real cool

 Not looking for that next screw
Take care of our bodies like it's a jewel

Don't blend in with crowds
Brownskin sisters rocking their crowns

We real cool
