Taelor Gray - Pretty Brown lyrics
[Taelor Gray - Pretty Brown lyrics]
I'ma talk to the pretty brown girls
I just need a moment
honor is an important thing
Yeah you tell me stories in your skin tone
I hear you 'fore I see you
I stay near you because I need you
This my camel through the needle
Cos I'm richest when you feel me
The picture up you feel me?
You make this broken world whole until
It starts to heal me
And I can't find your ceiling this is
Every bit of brilliance black girl
You be teaching your resilience black girl
So keep on, grab your hat, get
Your coat, get your coat, girl
You called us monarchs when you
Knew that we was broke, girl
And this my feeble words told
Swoope we needed one
I see your pretty brown skin and yeah
I see the sun i like you with no makeup
Looking colder than the glacier
And I'm like it how your
Makeup kind of show you
How you playful and I love to see you playful
Look, I can't leave you mad
I still need your smile
'cos nature needs your laugh
And they won't call you lovely
I'm knowing that you love me
Yeah we take much for granted
It's like treasure when you trust me
With them honeycomb vibes
Sunnyside when you cooking
Right Must have talked to God, walked
With God 'cos you looking right And this
That soul tie that I want
Souls tied to the Son
Lift you up just like Simba as a cub
This that stencil of a letter that I
Should have wrote a while ago
You taught me hope a while ago
You taught me spades and dominoes
Caught me color schemes and clothing textiles
So while I'm in my feelings finna
Shoot this text now to my
Brown skin lady, brown skinned lady
I see my God showing
Off something crazy, yeah, hehe
See I know we'll be alright
'cause creation tells us
All these stories that we see in God
And I'm just speaking from the fullness
Fullness of my joy i'm hoping you get yours
Yeah I'm praying you get yours
Cos trust me I'm gon' ride
For these pretty brown girls
That's my mama, that's my wife
That's my little brown girl
So trust me I'm gon' ride
Yeah trust me I'm gon' ride
They try to take you from us
But yo we gon' ride, on God
Stop us, yo we gone ride, yea
Can't nobody stop us baby girl we gon' ride
Trust me I'm gon' ride for
These pretty brown girls
Got me singing high for
These pretty brown girls

Yo you got me in the
Sky little pretty brown girls
Got me singing high for
The pretty brown girls
Yeah trust me I'm gon ride
For the pretty brown girls
Trust me I'm gon' ride i'm gon' ride yeah
I think what you're trying to ask is um
Why am I so insistent upon giving
Out to them that blackness that black power
That black - pushing them to
Identify with um ah um black culture
I think that's what you're asking
If I have no choice over it
In the first place
To me we are the most beautiful
Creatures in the whole world black people!
I mean, and I mean that in every
Sense uh outside and inside
And to me we have a culture that um is
Surpassed by no other civilization
Known more than anybody
So again as I think I've said this before
As I'm saying to you
I think at some time before my
My job is to somehow make them curious enough
Of persuading things by hook or crook
To get more aware of themselves
And where they came from
What they are into and what is already there
And just to bring it out
This is what compels me to compel them
And I will do it by whatever means necessary
Every time I wake up I
Know we gon' be alright, yeah
Let's go to the continent
And see another side, yeah
I'ma catch a vibe baby, you can take a seat
Yeah you been so strong while they
Try to play you weak, yeah
We gon' get your love, wait
We gon' get your love, yeah
I see and what they do to
You and now I seen enough, yeah
That gon' be my mama
That gon' be my daughter yeah
That gon' be my cold, cold wife
Boy I got her this is Abba hope you know
Watch where water 'fore we glow
Pop that bottle and we lit
Pop that bottle we gon' go
Get your roses while you here
Yeah get your roses while you here
This the kingdom get your robe
That gazebo made a go, hashtag goals
This is female mixed with
Soul, this is seasoning
This is genius you repeat it if you know
If you know and sing it trust me
We gon' ride for you girl
We gon' ride yeah, trust me we
Gon' ride for you girl, we gon' ride
