zacchae'us paul - colored girls world lyrics

[chorus]
brown skin, brown eyes
black smile, black thighs
brown hair, black mind
brown care, black cry

[pre-chorus]
the pressures beating on you
you’re loved and i’m informing you
from the look in your eyes
i can see it on the inside
there’s love in your heart

[spoken word]
what does it mean to be a black woman:
to bear the weight of the world and still wear a smile?
what does it mean to be oppressed by everything and still make it? black girls better walk with their chins real high to the sky
like they are watching god beam down his lights on them
like they were created in beauty, like the world is theirs
like they own it. black girls, the world is yours. own it
black women have survived every struggle, every test
every trial, every tribulation. you can never
ever tell a black woman what she can and cannot do. see we
we were made for this, made to withstand, made to prosper
made to shine, made to blossom. this? this is a black girl’s world
and you couldn’t take that away, even if you tried

[chorus]
brown skin, brown eyes
black smile, black thighs
brown hair, black mind
brown care, black cry
brown skin, brown eyes
black smile, black thighs
brown hair, black mind
brown care, black cry
(i am a black woman)
(will never put it down)
(this brown skin is my pride)
(but my light shines from the inside)

[outro]
(colored girls world)
(colored girls world it is)
(colored girls world)
(colored girls world)
(colored girls world it is)
i am a black woman
will never put it down
this brown skin is my pride
but my light shines from the inside
