Black Girl Found

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tyrone Briggs] Shorty don't know her worth, men never put her first Things she witnessed, you wouldn't wish it on your worst Contemplate if she deserves living on this earth Has a hard time getting over all the hurt Wanna vent sometimes, she has no one That nigga she in love with treat her as if he owns her Abuse her everyday, self esteem's getting lower Using manipulation and fear as ways to control her But when smiles, it's a work of art Spend money getting fly to cover the hurtful scars She wear shades to keep it all to herself 'Cause when someone look in her eyes, they see a soul crying for help Fantasize of a different life How it would be different if she was a another nigga wife My advice You deserve a certain kind of love The type that every man in your life deprive you of I wrote this rhyme because [Chorus: Malcolm Chase] I believe in you Girl Keep your head up I know you been through enough But you never had this type of love Ooh, girl I know you fed up Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself [Verse 2: Tyrone Briggs] Left with no plans to go back, she got her glow back Her traumas finally a throw back, ain't gotta show that Friends trying to set up blind dates To get her mind straight They tell her to get revenge, but that ain't her mind state 'Cause on the real, baby girl don't wanna be vindictive It takes too much energy to get even with him She'd rather let him walk around claiming he's the victim Leave it up to karma, she just wants a decent living Holds herself accountable Didn't know how bad the picture was 'til she took herself out the view No longer doubtful You let somebody else dictate your value That's what you will amount to It's easy to say love yourself and be proudful But you can't love yourself if no one ever taught you how to So shorty's healing even if it takes long Refuse to be a black woman that remains scorn [Chorus: Malcolm Chase] I believe in you Girl Keep your head up I know you been through enough But you never had this type of love Ooh, girl I know you fed up (Know you fed up) Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself Girl (Ooh, girl) Keep your head up I know you been through enough But you never had this type of love Ooh, girl I know you fed up (Know you fed up) Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself (Know you fed up) Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself (Keep your head up, oh) Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself Before you love someone, better love yourself (One more time, any day, any night, baby, I don't mind)
