[Verse 1] 

Look, black is beautiful, shawty, that you should know 

Don't let American standards damage your African soul 

Natural hair, oh with a weave under 

I buy you Givenchy rags and [?] for ya 

I'll rap a feature and buy you pieces from people that you love 

Celine Dion pay for that Céline that you got on 

Yeah, is you single? Is you good? 

Can I get into ya (India) with Game 'cause your finger lickin' good 

Ooh, you so sweet when you put on 

I don't mind your body shy 'cause you can sleep in my cologne 

Woo, yeah, okay, Wale on that other shit 

That grown man, build up your mind, slide in your stomach shit 

Hold hands rarely in public, they never notice us 

They might as well tell you we on, we got the golden touch 

Get it? Fuck with it 

They might as well tell you we on, we got the golden touch, right 

[Hook] 

Black is beautiful, baby, black is bold 

Black is black, true, but black is gold, ay, hey, yeah, look 

I say black is beautiful, shawty, black is bold 

Black is black, true, but black is gold 

[Verse 2] 

Uh, look, hey Miss Lupita 

Hope you know you inspired the future women for us 

Don't know your vibe really, just know that your mother Kenyan 

Just know that that melanin mesmerizin' in every picture 

God true, hey miss ducky, hey 

I think your hair is amazin' but brain is even greater 

Don't ever let what people say ever convince you ain't bae 

Knowing hella actors black facin' trynna play us 

God true, hey Viola darlin' 

I see you shinin' with Shonda, thought I should rhyme about you 

'Cause you body the monologues and you care 'bout us 

Get away with murder every time you red carpet 

God true, hey miss Issa Rae 

Beautiful Senegalese, leader with shit to say 

We should meet today, maybe out at Best Buy 

#LawerenceHive, still I'm proud, Issa's a savage 

Actually "Issa Knife", right 

[Hook] 

Black is beautiful, baby, black is bold 

Black is black, true, but black is gold, no, ay, hey, yeah, look 

I say black is beautiful, shawty, black is bold 

Black is black, true, but black is gold, shine, yeah 

[Outro] 

I got tired of that 

This for every beautiful queen listenin' 

That may sometimes think we forget you dude to this bullshit system 

This for every India Arie, young Justine Skye 

And please don't go cut out on us now young SZA 

Let's celebrate the awsomeness that is our sisters 

My affinity is infinity and I wish you everythin' that gives you better energy 

So be prouder, be flier 

And like my auntie Michelle told me, we gotta do our job to reach high, holla, Folarin
