  How Do You Define The Black Woman?
  

  HOW DO YOU DEFINE THE BLACK WOMAN?

  
  

  
  

   Is she defined by her nose and lips broad or straight, full or thin

  
  

  or could it be her monster hips which makes her a perfect ten?

  
  

  Is she known by her famous butt thick and round, petite and flat?

  
  

  or could it be her peacock strut which lets you know she's all that?

  
  

  however you see her, let me say that the black woman is well on her way

  
  

  to becoming phenomenal and it's all good!

  
  

  Is it by her sassy mouth you define, loud and boasting, humble and meek

  
  

  or her ability to know a played out line she tells you when your rap is weak

  
  

  maybe you see her as low class or define her as cold and brash

  
  

  no matter what her complexion and size, she's black and you need to recognize

  
  

  you don't have a clue you see the black woman is whatever she wants to be

  
  

  fearless and strong, she's got it going on!

  
  

  Is it her unwillingness to back down which makes you scratch your head and frown?

  
  

  the black woman is not easily bent she stands her ground and represents

  
  

  her skin is not what makes her black let me define her while you step back

  
  

  the black woman is...

  
  

  From midnight black to almost white, nappy or straight, she gets it right

  
  

  tall or short, fat or thin, it doesn't matter, she's loved by men

  
  

  brown eyes, green eyes, quiet or loud she gets attention and can draw a crowd

  
  

  So when you see her give her respect, for she's the best thing you've ever met

  
  

  she's bold and beautiful, real and precise

  
  

  she's america's sugar and africa's spice!
