Woman

Lyrics

Naija women, got the melanin drippin'
 L-O-N-D-O-N, city girl livin'
 In the back, lookin' like fire, chili pepper
 Yoruba girl tougher than imperial leather
 He was gettin' bitter while she was gettin' better
 Diamonds are forever
 Miss Sierra Leone, lookin' like a gem
 Works hard in the week, party on the weekend
 Know you wanna live with no one watchin' how you spend
 Got a thing for the finer things and the finer men
 Miss Tanzania, she a do or die
 Said she wanna know more 'bout the Sukuma tribe
 We hit the zoot, once wasn't enough
 Got an ocean full of knowledge, it was scuba dive
 Miss Ethiopia can play so jazzy
 Then sit you down and school you on Selassie
 Tell 'em you're nothin' without a woman, no
 Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
 Tell 'em what's up
 I love how you go from zero to one hundred
 And leave the dust behind, you've got this
 All action, no talk
 Bajan hunnies, know you reppin' for your country
 Sun kissin' your brown skin, lookin' like money
 Say she focusin' on bein' an accountant
 When you have beauty and brains, they find it astoundin'
 Why, she been gettin' it on her own, nigga
 Self made, ain't nobody doin' gold digger
 Now, miss India always speaks with her chest
 Got respect from her people 'cause she leads them the best
 Hm, real life queen in the flesh
 Know the crown get heavy, still it be's on your head
 Brooklyn ladies, know you hustle on the daily
 Innovatin' just like Donna Summer in the '80s
 Your time, they seein' you glow now
 Intelligence and elegance, show 'em how
 Miss Jamaica understand food for the soul
 She get up in the kitchen or she throw down
 Ain't nothin' without a woman, though
 Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
 Tell 'em what's up
 I love how you go from zero to one hundred
 And leave the dust behind, you've got this
 All action, no talk
 I see you glow, you're the finest gold
 When you walk in the room, they feel your soul
 Our style, it shines, so ahead of time
 And you know that you're fire, you're so damn fine, girl
 Girl, girl, girl, girl
 Girl, girl, girl, girl
 She a Ghana girl
 Come with it, never let the marijuana fail
 Though a sucker for the romance, take you to the homeland
 One way, she ain't comin' back, nah
 All I see is black stars and I friggin' love it, yeah, yeah
 Time's up, tell the people that we comin', yeah, yeah
 Done bein' in the shadow, goin' public, yeah, yeah
 Don't know how to bear it, how to stomach, yeah, yeah
 Hand over the shit and let us run it, yeah, yeah
 All we know is lookin' flawless, all they know is stare, stare
 Ain't nothin' without a woman, though
 Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow (glow, glow)
 I love how you go from zero to one hundred
 And leave the dust behind, you've got this
 And lead them with your light
 You've got this (woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow)
 All action, no talk (tell 'em what's up)
 You know, Simzy
 Sometimes, you know, I look around
 And I think of, all the things in this country
 All the great things in life
 And all the hard work that you've done
 To get yourself great things in life
 And how we don't really get great things, necessarily
 We don't get good things without a little bit of pain
 And how happiness is the, that's the truth
 
 The emptiness we can sometimes feel on the other side
 I don't know, it just reminds to call you
 But then you never pick up the phone
