Lyrics
Can I talk about BLK WMN
Can I talk about the burdens and how we be swimming in them
Can I talk about how our minds be crowded
And can't cry out for help when we drowning
I said can I talk about BLK WMN
Can I talk about how we're forced into being hyper independent
And how if we're anything but that they assume that we're not driven
Or how we're expected to shut up and carry the weight of the world
While being put first but only after every other person living in it
Or how when we say that we're struggling
They hear that we just making excuses
Expected to handle whatever trauma this life introduces
Can I talk about how as a BLK WMN
We don't get to say that we struggle with depression and anxiety
I was taught to keep the pain inside of me
Expected to take whatever you hand me
And when I won't accept the short end of the stick
It's BLK WMN be angry
But it's BLK WMN be tired of our voices being unheard
But it's BLK WMN be patient
Even though we been the only ones waiting
For speaking up for herself to finally mean that we making a statement
Just like it is for any other woman in any other races
See from a young girl to a grown woman
BLK WNM get daily practicing on putting herself second
BLK WMN get use to how it feels to have her feelings neglected
BLK WMN get use to watching other BLK WMN give their all to people
That leave them out in the the cold
BLK WMN use to watching other BLK WMN carry the weight of the household
So BLK WMN you not strong if you can't do it by yourself
Because BLK WMN don't get tired
Nah BLK WMN be strong
Because BLK WMN can't get the support of the government til the BLK MAN is gone
From a young age
BLK GRLS are are seen as BLK WMN
BLK GRLS can't be happy that's careless
BLK GRLS face the world with minimal guidance
But don't forget to be fearless
BLK GRLS get use to having people silence their cries
BLK GRLS get use to no one being able see the world through her eyes
BLK GRLS go missing
But don't nobody hear about the stories til that BLK GRL dies
BLK WMN get taught to be both the victim and creator of the hell that we live in
BLK GRLS saw their BLK mother do it without the help of their father
BLK GRLS got to witness BLK WMN be accepting of trauma
BLK WMN hold that weight
BLK WMN get use to acting like you don't have too much on your plate
BLK WMN wipe the tears from your eyes
And put a smile on your face
BLK WMN act like everything is okay
BLK WMN hold it together the more that you break
BLK WMN can't speak up for themselves without being perceived as angry and violent
So BLK WMN hold the weight of the world, your heart, and all the trauma inside it
BLK WMN think they shit don't stink whenever we show that we love ourselves
BLK WMN get criticized for our natural features til it's copied by someone else
Because it's only accepting when it's imitated by women if other races
Then we watch them take credit for it like we ain't create it
BLK WMN don't get to cry for help
Because as usual BLK WMN be strong
BLK WMN be on edge but on the surface BLK WMN be calm
BLK WMN get use to their emotions being silenced
BLK WMN be quiet
BLK WMN be quiet
