black woman - danielle brooks lyrics

you look at me
like i’m unfamiliar
like i’m brand new, like you
never knew that you like them thick
i’ve been carrying this weight
and the world beneath this braids
and i’m confused
would you take the pain that came
with all the parts you wanna claim for you
you want my thighs, you my stride
but not this melanin
you want my hair
but you don’t care for this complexion
i’m a black woman
i’m a black woman
corn bread fed, sweet tea sippin’
nubian queen with the skin that glistens
i’m a black
woman
sixteen sitting on a cold floor
in a corner after school
recovering from your cover up
when you told me i wasn’t right for you
it wasn’t hard to believe
cause when i watched tv
i would never see a leading lady look like me
familiar package with less pigment
it’s just reality
you want my thighs, you want my stride
but not this melanin
you want my hair
but you don’t care for this complexion
i’m a black woman
i’m a black woman
heart, bred, fed, sweet tea sippin’
nubian queen with the skin that glistens
i’m a black
woman
the world tells me there is sp-ce for me
if i sinch it up and i sew it in
the world tells me it will all be mine
with some lashes on and some lighter eyes
the world tells me it will work for me
if i let ’em do a little surgery
the world tells me it will change for me
with some longer nails
and some lightning cream
but i’m a black woman
cause i’m a black woman
cause i’m a black woman
cause i’m a black
woman
