lyrics

Look at you baby, melanin poppin
Black girl magic
Oh yes

Look at your skin, look at your skin
(melanin poppin)
Angels get jealous babe, (black girl magic)
I heard the angels get jealous babe
Wishing they compared to you, no they don't compare to you
Because nothin can compare to you
I know that you are children of the sun
You are children of the sun (you are)
Shine your dark on me, ah yea
All I know is (nothin compares to you ) I can't go
(nothin compares to you)
I don't grow, (children of destiny) if you're not shining on me
That's all I know

Just reflect some sun
Daughter of the...
Shine it on the world
Just reflect some sun

Melanin Queen Mahogany Princess
You are the mother of life, can I get a witness
I could just dive in your darkness, swim through your ocean
This is a love supreme, my deepest devotion
They say the Blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I wanna climb in your tree and eat from your fruits
I wanna dig in your soil, and study your roots
This is what they mean when they say to search for your truth
Underappreciated, over-sexualized
Appropriated, we gon make em' recognize
Underappreciated, over-sexualized
Appropriated, we gon make em' recognize

Queen see you are so fine
Oh you are so fine
Not even trying, not even trying
Queen see you are divine
Just let your light shine
Shine it on the...
Just reflect some sun
Daughter of the...
Shine it on the world
Just reflect some sun

Black girl magic
Black girl magic
Black girl magic
