Black Woman - Seun Kuti, Egypt 80

Black woman

African woman

Strong woman

I write this song for you

(Black woman)

And I see everything you go through

(Black woman)

I see your tears and your joy and your pain and your fears

(Black woman)

And your strength to endure all the beatings and the war

(Black woman)

That’s why me respect you

and I believe in you and I see your struggle

I never fear your strength

I never say you weak

And when them fear your sense

them nor go let you speak

Black woman named black power

Black woman to the limit

(Black woman)

uhuhuh

I say this one’s for you

(Black woman)

She’s black to the limit all in her spirit

(Black woman)

You dey lose your soul if you lose your own

(Black woman)

I nor talk about your hair or your shoes or the clothes that you wear

(Black woman)

I talk about your mind

I talk about your courage

I dey talk about your strength

Your hopes and how you manage to achieve so much

when they give you so little

Caught in the vicious cycle

Victim of every battle

Ahhhh…

Black woman nor bleach your skin so…
