Eve Gene

[Intro]

Ooh

Ooh

[Verse 1: KIRBY]

Black woman

Unprotected in this world

Is she loved, is she treasured, is she hurt

Oh, black woman

Are you wanted in this world

Oh, black woman

Are you valued in this world

[Pre-Chorus: KIRBY]

They try to look you over like they don't care

They say they want your body, but not your hair

Oh, they tell you change your nose, keep your skin too fair

But everybody knows it, deep down they're scared

[Chorus: KIRBY]

'Cause oh, black girl

They owe you apologies

Oh, black girl

Don't give 'em your energy

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society

[Verse 2: Rapsody]

Talk

They call it evening 'cause it's black as Eve

Mitochondrial gene

Rotating my behind, how it fit in my jeans

Black don't lack, Henrietta

I'm singing Erykah

Healer, I feel her

What's a king if he ain't got a Coretta

Ask Hakeem for a queen

He fight a lion

Y'all stay lying

Tryna lower our self esteem (Nah)

Feeling seen and unprotected

Brain washed brothers learn from the real ones that check you because they love us

How you hate someone that look like ya whole mother

Guess she shoulda used a rubber

But I don't judge her

Knowing each of us tryna make it

They take it

Too beautiful to change our faces (C'mon)

This beauty contagious, no cap

Braided our hair as a map to free them from racists

Innovative, nothing 'bout but this geneology basic

Where the roses, the applause

We deserve praises

Without a black woman you'd still be stuck inside the matrix. you know (You know)

[Chorus: KIRBY]

'Cause oh, black girl

They owe you apologies

Oh, black girl

Don't give 'em your energy

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society

You're the healer of the world

You're the healer of society
