[Intro: Tamika Mallory]
We are the mothers of civilization
We carry the entire nation on our backs
Our wounds have birthed America's greatest accomplishments
But be clear, our wrath will bring her to her knees
I am a black woman, and the black woman is queen
[Chorus: Rare Silk]
Wind is high and stormy tonight
We can feel its magical light
As the sea comes speaking to me
Siren voices drift out of key
Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain
As we feel its magical light
Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain
As we feel its magical light
[Verse 1: T.I.]
Yeah, sittin' on the cement, readin' out the full agreement
Don't take shit personally, nigga, just see reflections of they own demons
Own buildings, don't need a loan neither (Nah)
Tryna measure my contributions, homie, you gon' need a long meter
My lyrics on a song with a strong beat
Give you my past just to tell a nigga his future like a palm reader (Damn)
Under palm trees blowin' weed with my feet up
Ain't never worried 'bout when nigga even mess a feat up
You shouldn't ever assume, knowledge is king so
Ask 'bout what you wanna know and say what you mean bro
Met with Farrakhan and asked him, "How in the hell
Do you love niggas more than they hate they self?"
When you can make it anywhere, but you did make it there
Stay in the same hood that kill you 'fore you get to really take it there
Know God perfect, they don't make it fair
I'm meditatin' to keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe in there
We are the mothers of civilization
We carry the entire nation on our backs
Our wounds have birthed America's greatest accomplishments
But be clear, our wrath will bring her to her knees
I am a black woman, and the black woman is queen
[Chorus: Rare Silk]
Wind is high and stormy tonight
We can feel its magical light
As the sea comes speaking to me
Siren voices drift out of key
Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain
As we feel its magical light
Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain
As we feel its magical light
[Verse 1: T.I.]
