J'Nique Nicole - Black Girl Magic Lyrics

They say God
Gives his toughest tasks
To his toughest soldiers
Daily I carry these heavy
Burdens on my shoulders
Being melanated is like
Carrying a bolder
Add that to being a woman
It's like doubling your load up
Cuz we're constantly reminded
Ain't nobody checking for us
Praying for the world
But ain't nobody praying for us
Walk around like I got an
S on my chest
But who's gonna save the hero
When she needs help
And my style's never appreciated
Unless it's worn by white faces
But the world keeps spinning
All my black girls stay winning
So watch me stretch a curl
And bounce back like elastic
How you do that
I call it black girl magic
Watch me age so gracefully
That you think that it's plastic
How you do that
I call it black girl magic
You see this melanin poppin
Black beauty jaw droppin
You just gon have to
Stay salty because
I'm gon be unapologetically me
And I won't apologize for
Who I am so naturally
I'm gonna be myself
Unapologetically
And ladies let this
Be your anthem
Don't let them steal your joy
Like they holding it for ransom
You know that negativity be
Spreading like a cancer
PSA my black queens
This pity party's canceled
They want us to feel like
Woe is me
Be helpless entirely
Like we are in dire need
Of this white society
When in actuality
Everything that we possess
Is to be desired see
Every little thing that
We do in its entirety
They see it they like it
And begin to get inspired
We are the trendsetters
Of the world
Oh the irony cuz they steady
Tryna put us down and
Call us ugly
But it's cool
Cuz deep down we
Know the truth
You don't wanna admit it
But you know we got the juice
But it's ok cuz I can see it
From your point of view
I know if I was you that I'd
Hate me too
So watch me stretch a curl
And bounce back like elastic
How you do that
I call it black girl magic
Watch me age so gracefully
That you think that it's plastic
How you do that
I call it black girl magic
You see this melanin poppin
Black beauty jaw droppin
You just gon have to
Stay salty because
I'm gon be unapologetically me
And I won't apologize for
Who I am so naturally
I'm gonna be myself
Unapologetically
Flexing my complexion
Loving all my melanin
No matter what
I'll forever love the skin I'm in
Flexing my complexion
Loving all my melanin
No matter what
I'll forever love the skin I'm in
Flexing my complexion
Loving all my melanin
No matter what
I'll forever love the skin I'm in
Flexing my complexion
Loving all my melanin
No matter what
I'll forever love the skin I'm in
So watch me stretch a curl
And bounce back like elastic
How you do that
I call it black girl magic
Watch me age so gracefully
That you think that it's plastic
How you do that
I call it black girl magic
You see this melanin poppin
Black beauty jaw droppin
You just gon have to
Stay salty because
I'm gon be unapologetically me
And I won't apologize for
Who I am so naturally
I'm gonna be myself
Unapologetically
