Little Simz, Cleo Sol - Woman Lyrics

Naija women, got the melanin dripping
L-O-N-D-O-N, city girl living
In the back, looking like fire, chili pepper
Yoruba girl tougher than imperial leather

He was getting bitter while she was getting better
Diamonds are forever
Miss Sierra Leone
Looking like a gem, works hard in the week
Party on the weekend
Know you wanna live with no one watching how you spend
Got a thing for the finer things and the finer men

Miss Tanzania, she a do or die
Say she want to know more 'bout the Sukuma tribe
We hit the zoot, once wasn't enough
Got an ocean full of knowledge, it was scuba dive

Miss Ethiopia can play so jazzy
Then sit you down and school you on Selassie

Tell 'em you're nothing without a woman, no
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
Tell 'em what's up

I love, how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind
You've got this
All action, no talk

Bajan honeys, know you repping for your country
Sun kissing your brown skin, looking like money
Say she focusing on being an accountant
When you have beauty and brains they find it astounding
Why? She been getting it on her own nigga
Self made, ain't nobody doing gold digger

Now, miss India always speaks with her chest
Got respect from her people 'cause she leads them the best
Hmm, real life queen in the flesh
Know the crown get heavy, still it beez on your head

Brooklyn ladies, know you hustle on the daily
Innovating just like Donna Summer in the 80's
Your time, they seeing you glow now
Intelligence and elegance, show 'em how

Miss Jamaica understand food for the soul
She get up in the kitchen or she throw down
Ain't nothing without a woman though
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
Tell 'em what's up

I love how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind
You've got this
All action, no talk

I see you glow, you're the finest gold
When you walk in the room, they feel your soul
Your style, it shines so ahead of time
And you know that you're fire, you're so damn fine, girl

She a Ghana girl
Calm with it, never let the marijuana fail
Though a sucker for the romance, take you to the homeland
One way, she ain't coming back, nah

All I see is black stars and I frigging love it, yeah, yeah
Time's up, tell the people that we coming, yeah, yeah
Done being in the shadow, going public, yeah, yeah
Don't know how to bear it, how to stomach, yeah, yeah
Hand over the shit and let us run it, yeah, yeah
All we know is looking flawless, all they know is stare, stare

Ain't nothing without a woman though
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow

I love, how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind
You've got this
And lead them with your light
You've got this (woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow)
All action, no talk (tell 'em what's up)

"You know, Simzy
Sometimes, you know, I look around
And I think of all the things in this country
All the great things in life
And all the horrible things
That are just the other half of the great things in life
And how we don't really get greatness without sacrifice
We don't get good things without a little bit of pain
And how happiness is the, that's the truth
The emptiness that you can sometimes feel on the other side
I dunno, it just reminds to call you
But then you never pick up the phone"
