You look at me like I'm unfamiliar Like I'm brand new Like you never knew that you liked them thick I've been carrying this weight In a world beneath these 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 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 Cornbread fed Sweat tea sippin' Nubian Queen with the skin that glistens I'm a black woman Sixteen sittin' on the cold floor In the corner after school Recovering from your cover up When you told me I wasn't right for you It wasn't hard to believe 'cus when I watch TV I would never see A leading lady look like me Familiar package with less pigment I ain't ignorant, 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 Cornbread fed Sweet tea sippin' Nubian Queen with the skin that glistens I'm a black woman The world tells me there is space for me If I cinch it up And I soak it in The world tells me it'll all be mine With some lashes on And some lighter eyes The world tells me it'll work for me If I let 'em do a little surgery The world tells me it'll change for me With some longer nails And some lightening cream But I'm a black woman (Lose myself to prove myself) I'm a black woman (We've come too far to right these wrongs) 'Cus I'm a black woman 'Cus I'm a black woman
