Black Is Gold

[Intro]

It's shine season, yeah

Black, the black

[Chorus]

The black is beautiful, baby, black is bold

Black is black, true, but black is gold, ay, hey, yeah, look

I say black is beautiful, shawty, black is bold

Black is black, true, but black is gold

Ay, let's do it

[Verse 1]

Look, black is beautiful, shawty, that you should know

Don't let American standards damage your African soul

Natural hair, oh with a weave under

I buy you Givenchy rags in rapid need for ya

I'll rap a feature and buy you pieces from people that you love

Celine Dion pay for that Céline that you got on

Yeah, is you single? Is you good?

Can I get into ya (India) with Game 'cause your finger lickin' good

Ooh, you so sweet when you put on

I don't mind your body shy 'cause you can sleep in my cologne

Woo, yeah, okay, Wale on that other shit

That grown man, build up your mind, slide in your stomach shit

Hold hands rarely in public, they never notice us

They might as well tell you we on, we got the golden touch

Get it? Fuck with it

They might as well tell you we on, we got the golden touch, right

[Chorus]

Black is beautiful, baby, black is bold

Black is black, true, but black is gold, ay, hey, yeah, look

I say black is beautiful, shawty, black is bold

Black is black, true, but black is gold

[Verse 2]

Uh, look, hey Miss Lupita

Hope you know you inspired the future women for us

Don't know your vibe really, just know that your mother Kenyan

Just know that that melanin mesmerizin' in every picture

God true, hey miss ducky, hey

I think your hair is amazin' but brain is even greater

Don't ever let what people say ever convince you ain't bae

Knowing hella actors black facin' trynna play us

God true, hey Viola darlin'

I see you shinin' with Shonda, thought I should rhyme about you

'Cause you body the monologues and you care 'bout us

Get away with murder every time you red carpet

God true, hey miss Issa Rae

Beautiful Senegalese, leader with shit to say

We should meet today, maybe out at Best Buy

#LawerenceHive, still I'm proud, Issa's a savage

Actually "Issa Knife", right

[Chorus]

Black is beautiful, baby, black is bold

Black is black, true, but black is gold, no, ay, hey, yeah, look

I say black is beautiful, shawty, black is bold

Black is black, true, but black is gold, shine, yeah

[Outro]

I got tired of that

This for every beautiful queen listenin'

That may sometimes think we forget you dude to this bullshit system

This for every India Arie, young Justine Skye

And please don't go cut out on us now young SZA

Let's celebrate the awsomeness that is our sisters

My affinity is infinity and I wish you everythin' that gives you better energy

So be prouder, be flier

And like my auntie Michelle told me, we gotta do our job to reach high, holla, Folarin
