Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A young wild beautiful love child
You like them thug style link rockin', then mink coppin'
Hit you on the sink a hundred dollar drink poppin'
The head'll make you take him shoppin'
A foul doctrine
Reminiscent of my first time up in a chick
You was innocent, but now you rent-a-dick
Wear the tightest shit
Chanel lookin' real, airbrushed nails
Hit the gym, hit the scales
Heaven-sent but negligent
To see your prophecy
Your ebony tone is lockin' me
The way you moan make me daydream
Of you on top of me
Wishin' I could be the one man
But you juggle way to many Willies all in one hand
You wanna run up in clubs
Gettin' rubbed on
**** pull your hair, shake your fat rear
Get your fuck on
Followin' week you back there
But what you stuck on, weed, clowns, and cars
Puffin' with some lil ****
Husband not knowing she's out
Could you believe Eve
Mother Earth of the seas
**** thirst you
You just let 'em hurt you and leave
What up ma, frontin' like you naive
Push your mans whip
Calling police when you flip
Can't understand it
Yo it should be a throne for us
But for now that's a whole different zone from us
Word
[Verse 2]
Diamonds all shinin', lookin' all fine
Pretty little face, get a little high
Young girl strugglin', tryin' to survive
Mother of the Earth, she made you and I
Just tired of playin' the same old games
Messin' with my mind, emotional things
And there goes a black girl, lost
[Verse 3]
Like Isis, you got your heart broke and felt lifeless
Grow up girl, instead you want revenge
So that you act the nicest
To who's ever gettin' down and trifless
To get his mind all you do is give him something priceless
'Cause in time he'll realise the thighs is all he needs
More than weed
Then you hit him off with lies and greed
There you go again, startin' wars
Makin' me more yours
Seem to get a kick out of keepin' me on all fours
Face glistening, I'm addicted to you
Original, wisdom body got me picturin' you
Igloos of ice trickin' on you, you never listen
To this **** spendin' Franklins on tennis anklets
Must've had a bad deal in the past though
Can't even keep it real with a **** with cash flow
Say men are all the same
What we need to do is break this chain
You got a job part-time and school's your night thing
With dreams to settle down, it ain't far from now
You gettin' interviewed
But your boss is into gettin' screwed
Typical day that the black girl sees
Comin' home, wantin' more from a college degree
[Verse 4]
Diamonds all shinin', lookin' all fine
Pretty little face, get a little high
Young girl strugglin', tryin' to survive
Mother of the Earth, she made you and I
Just tired of playin' the same old games
Messin' with my mind, emotional things
And there goes a black girl, lost
[Verse 5]
Where are you focused
On legit **** and where the coke is
Nice and thug life ****, yo, you seem hopeless
Your value, too much to be measured
I wonder how you
Could ever be played
Your pussy worth gold amountin' to
More than the world, but not knowin' nothin' about you
You leavin' the crib, takin' all your kids out to
Drop them off
Lettin' some **** knock you off
So hot and soft
That's the same thing that got you lost
Growin' up seein' it
It should remind you, you bein' lied to
Everything that move be inside you
Sacred as you are
Left with these wannabes to guide you
I watched you
Hard to knock you, I tried not to
They spot you out dancin' topless in your drawers
Damn, look there goes a black girl lost
[Verse 6]
You should be ashamed of yourself
The way you carry yourself
The way you hang out all night long
Doin' silly things that is wrong
Black girl...
