[Verse One: REMI]
Woo
You weren't around, It felt like you weren't around
But looking back on myself
I wasn't ready to be found
I was f**ing around
Like boxer losing round
Ignorance was my method
All that you had was profound
There's things had turned it into a crown
There's things about my heritage
What it means to be brown
There's no charade
We're black messiahs in chains
So racism that's engrained
Black lady you were the sound of my freedom, freedom
Thats for myself that is
You made me put the pants back on the shelf my dear
Straightened me out like father's leather belt
Back in the 6th grade I can still feel the welts from here
Give me food from your soul straight outta ya mind
Throw shade on my parade when I stray outta line
Safe to say you're my sanity
Yeah this point in time
Although you crazy
But you just as crazy as I
So ay ay Capitan
[Hook: Raiza Biza]
Show me love
Give me strength
Through the night
Love me well
Love me well
Show me light
Show me light
Show me love
Show me you
Cos' all I need
All I need
Darling, you
A strong woman where I'm from
A strong woman all around
Strong woman all along
Strong woman where I'm from
[Verse Two: Raiza Biza]
The mothers
The aunties, the grandmothers
The sisters that ain't blood but still they still love us
If you ever been a father or son or little brother
Then you understand the love I describe is real brother
Yeah, yeah
I got a lot of admiration for you
Give me the signal and you know that i'll be waiting for you
I don't know why they disrespect you
When you sacred and true
I wanna take you to a few
And get a table for two
Strong woman
I tell my momma she mean more to me
She gon' tell me if she feel like I've been with the wrong women
I still remember my grandma
Must've been fifteen
Since we shared time
Everything you said to me is clear now
Got a couple kids now
Their mother is a queen
But we couldn't make it work
But I know that doesn't mean that we're bad people
And that I still see you
I'm turning into you
And every word I say is true
Like you taught me
[Hook: Raiza Biza]
Show me love
Give me strength
Through the night
Love me well
Love me well
Show me light
Show me light
Show me love
Show me you
Cos' all I need
All I need
Darling, you
A strong woman where I'm from
A strong woman all around
Strong woman all along
Strong woman where I'm from
