Londrelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey black child, do u know who you are?
Who u really are?
Do you know you can be what you want to be?
If u try to be what u can be

I find it so amazing how you still exhibit love even though you've been hurt too many times

Beautiful black woman I see the stars in your complexion and the moon in your eyes

You're more like an angel in a human disguise.

As soon as I make it to heaven, the first thing I'll do is paint pictures of you in the sky

You have such a beautiful mind and immaculant natural skin

All the diamonds in the world do not compare to you, my african gem

And everything about you is magnificent and spectacular

No matter your complexion you still exemplify the essence of Africa

Hey black child, do you know you are?
Who you really are?
Do you know you can be what you want to be?
If you try to be what you can be
Do you know you can learn what you want to learn?
Black girl magic
Black black girl magic
Beautiful soul, magical skin
Beautiful soul, magical skin

I know at times I may not have the words to express to you

But even when you're at your worst I'll try my hardest to execute and bring out the best in you

I thank God blessing you with excellence and benevolent worth

Because everyday next to you is like a festival of heaven on earth

You see I love everything about you, your blackness is greatness

With the soul of a million suns you inspire the happiest faces

Even when I'm lacking in patience you still bring out the best in me

I would try to give you the world, but you can show me galaxies that I never seen

I pray to god that you never leave

Do you know you can learn what you want to learn?
If you try to learn what you can learn
Hey black child, do you know you are strong?
I mean really strong
Black girl magic
Black black girl magic
Beautiful soul, magical skin
Beautiful soul, magical skin

I find it so amazing how you still exhibit love even though you've been hurt too many times

Beautiful black woman I see the stars in your complexion and the moon in your eyes

Beautiful black woman I see the stars in your complexion and the moon in your eyes

Everything about you is truly magical

Hey black child, do you know you are strong?
I mean really strong
Do you know you can do what you want to do?
If you try to do what you can do

I really don't mean to objectify you but you're bad as a ten

Body look like you just got back in the gym.
Beautiful soul, natural skin

Men asking your friends if you're or not, you really don't mingle a lot

So many kings and so many things but you are the queen at the top

Hey black child, be what you can be
Learn what you must learn




Do what you can do
And tomorrow your nation will be what you want it to be
