My Black Woman

My Black Woman  
My black woman...
Ain't she something!  
Yes she is indeed  
When a brother needs someone to watch his back she fulfills the need  
You can find her at the front of the movement  
Cause she ain't waiting on anybody else to do it  
She follows if need be  
but
If the time arises then she's prepared to lead
Cause if baby daddy decides to up and leave  
Who else gon take care of them babies she gotta feed  
 
Her grind don't stop when she hits struggle  
That's when she turns up her hustle  
Cause lord knows it's hard being a single mother  
Gotta send the kids off to school and get ready for another double  
But yet she never complains
Even with the weight of the world on her back she maintains
It's crazy how she can even stay sane  
 
My black woman...
Ain't she something!
Mmmhmm yes lord  
Her beauty is captivating  
The older she gets the less she ages  
They say black don't crack and I'm in amazement  
She comes in different shades of color
Each one just as beautiful as the other
She's like a fine wine  
She gets better with time  
And I just wanna sip from the cup  
Matter fact a sip ain't enough  
Her spirit is graceful  
Her walk is strong  
You can always hear her say she can do it on her own  
She's like that drug that you can't leave alone  
Ladies shall I carry on?  
 
My black woman...
Ain't she something  
You know she is  
Even during slavery and oppression  
She didn't stop in the face of transgression  
Even when master snuck into the quarters at night  
She somehow managed to shine her light  
Her husband was beaten and taken away from her  
They tried breaking her  
But she stands tall in the face of adversity  
Ain't no shaking her  
You go girl
Show the world what you can do  
She can conquer the earth and take care of her family too  
My black woman...  
Ain't she something
