Black Beauty Lyrics - Just In The Nik Of Time - Nik West

Black Black beauty beautiful 

mind body and soul 

and everywhere in between 

ain't that what you see 

She's a Black black beauty 

Such a precious gift to behold 

There's a story to be told 

Wanna hear it here it goes 

Papa was a rollin stone 

Mama had to work, she was always gone 

So it wasn't long before the streets became her home 

You see she was educated through urban exploitation 

And graduated with honors 

And now she's hopeless, left with brokenness 

The streets ain't worth the pain they cause 

Let me tell you who you are 

Her body's worth more than his words 

But so well spoken they serve as tokens 

Used to purchase a moment 

And she's no wiser insecurities tend to blind her 

While reality seems to bind her 

And now she's hopeless, left with brokenness 

But he ain't worth the pain he cause 

Let me tell you who you are 

Her strength of mind has the power to change the world 

Instead she believes the lies that poison the soul 

Told she could never be, would never be 

Anything beyond what eyes could see 

And for that pain, she medicates heavily 

And now she's hopeless, left with brokenness 

The drugs ain't worth the pain they cause 

Let me tell you who you are
