cleva thoughts - #blackwoman lyrics

[verse: the syrin]
when i think about the world
and all of it’s colors
where do we fall in the rainbow
though the spectrum
comes from
many ranges
so does all the worldly dangers
black woman
same day
same night
mothers womb
and fathers light
but somehow
we’re treated different

[chorus]
how can i explain
what’s it like be a black woman
uh uh
how can i explain
what’s it like be a black woman
yeah
they look down
but my held high
said i couldn’t
how can i explain
to the world
what its like
for black women
how can i explain
what’s it like be a black woman
plenty said i couldn’t
i did i did i did i did
yeah i did it anyways
said i did it anyways
[verse: cleva thoughts]
could not rule us
queens with the afros
and soup coolers
who grew up
being s+xualized before
we even knew us
no protection
just eyes set on worldly possessions
how to attain when
we were restrained
from our oppressors obsessions
gimme the loot
all the stolen truths
mixed seeds in our wombs
survival to succeed
and get through
that mean go to college
go through wallets
rob, steal, work
as long as it equals progress
but i’m still hurt
cause the world look
at us as dirt
when we the first to give
put food on the table
provide a home that’s stable
when we able
even if the government
assist us we gon get some cable
we gon smile and thank you
black woman
start a business
and we did it to the max
still love high fashion
lashes and smoking pack
valedictorian grades
superstars who beat the odds
walking into a home
we can call our own
with all that to say
we here to win
why we gotta defend
always snapping back
cause it feel like
our whole life we under attack
what we not good enough
got out the hood now
we not hood enough
now we acting bougie
ain’t no looking back
if you know nothing
about a black woman
this one is spittin’ facts
they can reenact
but can’t live in these shoes
that’s how you explain
how a black woman is
if you got it confused
[chorus]
how can i explain
what’s it like be a black woman
uh uh
how can i explain
what’s it like be a black woman
yeah
they look down
but my held high
said i couldn’t
how can i explain
to the world
what its like
for black women
how can i explain
what’s it like be a black woman
plenty said i couldn’t
i did i did i did i did
yeah i did it anyways
said i did it anyways
