Little Simz, Cleo Sol - Woman lyrics

Naija women, got the melanin drippin'
L-O-N-D-O-N, city girl livin'
In the back, lookin' like fire, chili pepper
Yoruba girl tougher than imperial leather
He was gettin' bitter while
She was gettin' better diamonds are forever
Miss Sierra Leone, lookin' like a gem
Works hard in the week, party on the weekend
Know you wanna live with no
One watchin' how you spend
Got a thing for the finer
Things and the finer men, hm
Miss Tanzania, she a do or die
Say she want to know more
'bout the Sukuma tribe
We hit the zoot, once wasn't enough
Got an ocean full of knowledge
You could scuba dive
Miss Ethiopia can play so jazzy
Then sit you down and school you on Selassie

Tell 'em you're nothin' without a woman, no
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
Tell 'em what's up

I love how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind, you've got this
All action, no talk

Bajan honeys
Know you reppin' for your country
Sun kissin' your brown skin
Lookin' like money
Say she focusin' on bein' an accountant
When you have beauty and brains
They find it astoundin'
Why? She been gettin' it on her own, nigga
Self made, ain't nobody doin' gold digger
Now, Miss India always speaks with her chest
Got respect from her people 'cause
She leads them the best
Hm, real life queen in the flesh
Know the crown get heavy
Still it be's on your head
Brooklyn ladies, know you hustle on the daily
Innovative just like Donna Summer
In the eighties
Your time, they seein' you glow now
Intelligence and elegance, show 'em how
Miss Jamaica understand food for the soul
She get up in the kitchen know she throw down

Ain't nothin' without a woman, no
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
Tell 'em what's up

I love how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind, you've got this
All action, no talk

I see you glow, you're the finest gold
When you walk in the room
They feel your soul
Our style, it shines, so ahead of time
And you know that you're fire
You're so damn fine, girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl

She a Ghana girl
Calm with it, never let the marijuana fail
Though a sucker for the romance
Take you to the homeland
One way, she ain't comin' back, nah
All I see is Black stars and
I friggin' love it, yeah, yeah
Time's up, tell the people
That we comin', yeah, yeah
Done bein' in the shadow, goin' public, yeah
Yeah don't know how to bear it
How to stomach, yeah, yeah
Hand over the shit and let us run it, yeah
Yeah all we know is lookin' flawless
All they know is stare, stare

Ain't nothin' without a woman, though
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
(Glow, glow)

I love how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind, you've got this
And lead them with your light
You've got this
(Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow)
All action, no talk (Tell 'em what's up)

You know, Simbi
Sometimes, you know, I just look around
And I just think of all
The things we've gone through
All the great things in life and
All the horrible things that
Are just the other half of
The great things in life
And how you don't really
Get greatness without sacrifice
And you don't get good things without
A little bit of pain
And how happiness is the substitute
For the emptiness that
You can sometimes feel on the other side
I dunno, it just reminds me to call you
But then you never pick up the phone!
