Black Woman
August 31, 2003


Looking into you eyes I see History
Black Woman
Scorned and shaken by man, but always there to lend a hand,
But stupid Black Man,
Get in your place woman
Out of my way you make me weak
Black woman surely took her so-called Place
Shaking her head at the man she loves
But when she sees his tear fall, and that man starts to cry
It's something that only Black Woman can dry,

She's there, Baby, it's okay.
She restores his smile, she knows his love
It truly takes a lot for a Black Man to weep
We stupid Black Men think that they are our feelings to keep,
If Black Woman weren't there what would we do???
I look into your eyes and I see History

Knowing all that I am I owe to you
woman Black Woman
You populate the world through pain
Without you there to hold our hand, Black Man would surely go insane,
Black Woman
Not the background but the strong comfort in times of peril
Emotional Terror
Heartache
Longsuffering
Black Woman I Love You
I look into your eyes and I see History
BLACK WOMAN
