Talib Kweli f Jean Grae - Black Girl Pain слова песни

[Talib Kweli]I do it for the people, I do it for the loveI do it for the poet, I do it for the thugThis is for victory, and this is for the slaughterI do it for my mother, I do it for my daughterPromise I`ll always love ya, I love to kiss and hug yaYou and your brother should be lookin out for one anotherI`m so blessed, man, y`all the reason I got upSomebody put his hands on you I`m gettin locked upI`m not playin, that`s the prayer I`m sayin for DianiAnd if I die then she`ll be protected by AmaniThat`s her bigger brother and I love the way he love herShe a girly-girl, she love to imitate her motherBut she a Gemini, so stay on her friendly sideShe`ll put that look on you, it`s like somebody` friend just diedMy pretty black princess smell sweet like that incenseThat you buy at the bookstore supporting black businessTeach her what black is; the fact is her parents are thoroughShe four reading Cornrows by Camille YarboroughI keep her hair braided, bought her a black BarbieI keep her mind free; she ain`t no black zombieThis is for Aisha, this is for KasheraThis is for Khadijah scared to look up in the mirrorI see the picture clearer thru the stain on the frameShe got a black girl name, she livin black girl painThis is for Makeba, and for my mamacitaWhat`s really good, ma? I`ll be your promise-keeperI see the picture clearer thru the stain on the frameShe got a black girl name, she livin black girl pain[Hook]My mama said life would be so hardGrowin up days as a black girl scarredIn so many ways though we`ve come so farThey just know the name they don`t know the painSo please hold your heads up highDon`t be ashamed of yourself know IWill carry it forth til the day I dieThey just know the name they don`t know the pain black girl[Jean Grae]This is for Beatrice Bertha Benjamin who gave birth toTsidi Azeeda for Lavender Hill for KyalishaALTHLONE, Mitchells Plain, Swazi girls I`m reppin for theeMannesburg, Guguletu where you`d just be blessed to get thruFor beauty shinin thru like the sun at the highest noonFrom the top of the cable car at Table Mountain; I am youGirls with the skyest blue of eyes and the darkest skinFor Cape Colored allied for realizing we`re AfricanFor all my cousins back home, the strength of mommy`s backboneThe length of which she went for raising, sacrificing her ownThe pain of not reflecting the range of our complexionsFor rubber pellet scars on Auntie Elna`s back I marchFist raised caramel shinin in all our gloryFor Mauritius, St, Helena; my blood is a million storiesWinnie for Joan and for Edie, for Norma, Leslie, NdidiFor Auntie Betty, for Melanie; all the same familyFiona, Jo Burg, complex of mixed girlsFor surviving thru every lie they put into us nowThe world is yours and I swear I will stand focusedBlack girls, raise up your hands; the world should clap for us[Hook]My mama said life would be so hardGrowin up days as a black girl scarredIn so many ways though we`ve come so farThey just know the name they don`t know the painSo please hold your heads up highDon`t be ashamed of yourself know IWill carry it forth til the day I dieThey just know the name they don`t know the pain black girl
