Nas, JoJo Hailey - Black Girl Lost lyrics

Talking that old off the wall
Back to Africa shit again
I'm trying to get up OUTTA here
Not that White Star
Listen to reason pretty baby, baby, listen

A young, wild, beautiful love child
You like 'em thug style, link rocking
Then mink copping hit you on the sink
A hundred dollar drink popping
The head'll make you take 'em shopping
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, looking real, airbrushed nails
Hit the gym, hit the scales
Heaven-sent but negligent (So fine)
To see ya prophecy
Your ebony tone is locking me
The way you moan make me daydream
Of you on top of me
Wishing I could be the one man
But you juggle way too many
Willies all in one hand
You wanna run up in clubs, getting rubbed on
Niggas pull your hair, shake your fat rear
Get your fuck on
Following week, you back there
But what you stuck on? Weed, clowns and cars
Puffing with some lil nigga
Husband not knowing she's out
Could you believe Eve
Mother Earth of the seas niggas thirst you
You just let 'em hurt you and leave
What up, ma? Fronting like you naive
Push your man's 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!

Diamonds all shining, looking all fine
Pretty little face, get a little high
Young girl struggling, trying to survive
(Trying to survive)
Mother of the Earth, she made you and I
Just tired of playing the same ol' games
Messing with my mind, emotional thangs
(Messing with my mind)
(And there goes a black girl lost)

Like Isis
He got your heart broke and felt lifeless
Grow up, girl, instead
You want revenge so now you act the nicest
To who'sever getting down and trifless
To get his mind
All you do is give him something priceless
'Cause in time
He'll realize the thighs is all he needs
More than weed
Then you hit him off with lies and greed
(Deceit, yeeeahhh)
There you go again, starting wars
Making me more yours
Seem to get a kick out of
Keeping me on all fours
Face glistening, I'm addicted to you
Original, Wisdom Body got me picturing you
Igloos of ice tricking on you
You never listen to this nigga
Spending Franklins on tennis anklets
Must've had a bad deal in the past, though
Can't even keep it real with
A nigga 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 getting interviewed
But your boss is into getting screwed
Typical day that the black girl sees
Coming home wanting more from
A college degree, uh

Diamonds all shining, looking all fine
Pretty little face, get a little high
Young girl struggling, trying to survive
(Trying to survive)
Mother of the Earth, she made you and I
Just tired of playing the same ol' games
Messing with my mind, emotional thangs
(Messing with my mind)
(And there goes a black girl lost)

Where are you focused? On legit niggas
And where the coke is
Nice and Thug Life niggas, yo
You seem hopeless
Your value - too much to be measured
I wonder how you could ever be played
Your pussy worth gold amounting to
More than the world
But not knowing nothing about you
You leaving the crib
Taking all your kids out to drop 'em off
Letting some nigga knock you off
So hot and soft
That's the same thing that got you lost
(You should be ashamed)
Growing up seeing it, it should remind you
You being 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 dancing
Topless in your drawers
Damn, look, there goes a black girl lost
You should be ashamed of yourself
The way you carry yourself
The way you hang out all night long
Doing silly things that is wrong
Black girl lost
