Woman

(Little Simz)

Naija women, got the melanin drippin'

L-O-N-D-O-N, city girl livin'

In the back, lookin' like fire, chili pepper

Yoruba girl tougher than imperial leather

He was gettin' bitter while she was gettin' better

Diamonds are forever

Miss Sierra Leone, lookin' like a gem

Works hard in the week, party on the weekend

Know you wanna live with no one watchin' how you spend

Got a thing for the finer things and the finer men, hm

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 nothin' without a woman, no

Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow

Tell 'em what's up

(Cleo Sol)

I love how you go from zero to one hundred

And leave the dust behind, you've got this

All action, no talk

(Little Simz)

Bajan hunnies, know you reppin' for your country

Sun kissin' your brown skin, lookin' like money

Say she focusin' on bein' an accountant

When you have beauty and brains, they find it astoundin'

Why? She been gettin' it on her own, nigga

Self made, ain't nobody doin' gold digger

Now, Miss India always speaks with her chest

Got respect from her people 'cause she leads them the best

Hm, real life queen in the flesh

Know the crown get heavy, still it be's on your head

Brooklyn ladies, know you hustle on the daily

Innovatin' just like Donna Summer in the eighties

Your time, they seein' 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

(Little Simz)

Ain't nothin' without a woman, though

Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow

Tell 'em what's up

(Cleo Sol)

I love how you go from zero to one hundred

And leave the dust behind, you've got this

All action, no talk

(Cleo Sol & Little Simz)

I see you glow, you're the finest gold

When you walk in the room, they feel your soul

Our style, it shines, so ahead of time

And you know that you're fire, you're so damn fine, girl

Girl, girl, girl, girl

Girl, girl, girl, girl

(Little Simz)

She a Ghana girl

Come with it, never let the marijuana fail

Though a sucker for the romance, take you to the homeland

One way, she ain't comin' back, nah

All I see is Black stars and I friggin' love it, yeah, yeah

Time's up, tell the people that we comin', yeah, yeah

Done bein' in the shadow, goin' 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 lookin' flawless, all they know is stare, stare

(Little Simz)

Ain't nothin' without a woman, though

Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow (Glow, glow)

(Cleo Sol & Little Simz)

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)

(Outro)

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 hard work that you've done

To get yourself great things in life

And how we don't really get great things, necessarily

We don't get good things without a little bit of pain

And how happiness is the — that's the truth

The emptiness we can sometimes feel on the other side

I dunno, it just reminds to call you

But then you never pick up the phone
