Lyrics: The Jungle Brothers. Black Woman.

Black Woman, mother of my earth
Black Woman, you gave me birth
You can truly see what's in me
You can help me be the best that I can be

You feed my fire when I'm on the wire
Keepin' me calm when it's gettin' higher
Sweet like sugar and hot like wine
Always keepin' ya on my mind

Givin' my life a new light to reach for
Giving me so much how could I ask for more
Keepin' us tight when we're gettin' loose
The darker the berry the sweeter the juice, black woman

Black woman

You started of just a little girl
Given the power to change the world
And though some of your ways to man are odd
You are the proof that there is a God

Black woman ya are the mother of all
Black woman ya stand so firm and tall
And as you aged mind body and soul
You became more beautiful

You are the future, you are the wisdom
The wisdom that the evil forces tried to hide
But no longer will you be hidden
In my Jungle you always will exist

Your wish is my command, your command is my wish
And the job of the Man is to respect and and protect
Be fruitful and multiply
Honor and love love and honor, until the day she dies
Black woman

Black woman
Black woman
Black woman
Black woman
Black woman
Black woman

Love the woman's weapon
With every great man there's a woman behind him
Her womb is the chamber that produces life
Her breast provides the nutrition for growth

A guardian angel in the flesh
Representin' the man that watches over us both
Sent from the Heavens and the skies above
Black woman it's you that I love

You are the Moon that I reach for
There's no doubt in my mind that it's you I adore
Sent from the Heavens and the skies above
Black woman it's you that I love, black woman

Black woman
Black woman
