verse
Damn, I love the burning of the dagger
From the words that you say (fuck, yeah)
Dancin' in the mirror, kiss my scars
Because I love what they made (ooh, yeah)
pre-chorus
She's a god, she's a hero
She survived all she been through
Confident, damn, she lethal
Might I suggest you don't fuck with my sis
hook
They hate me because they want me
(I'm dark brown, dark skin, light skin, beige)
(Fluorescent beige, bitch, I'm black)
verse
Been down, been up, been broke, broke down, bounced back
Been off, been on, been back, what you know about that?
Been the light, been dark, been the truth, been that King Bey energy
I been thick, been fine, still a ten, still here, that's all me
Dance to the soles of my feet
Paint the world pussy pink
verse
Blue like the soul I crowned
Purple drank and couture gowns
Gold fangs, a shade God made
Blue, black, white, and brown
Paint the town red like cinnamon
Yellow diamonds, limoncello glisterin'
Rainbow gelato in the streets
Renaissance, yachtin' in Capri
pre-chorus
You're a god (you're a god), you're a hero (you're a hero)
You survived all you been through
Confident, damn, you lethal
Might I suggest you don't fuck with my sis
verse
I'm cozy (I'm cozy), I'm juicy (I'm juicy)
You hate me (you hate me) 'cause you want me ('cause you want me)
I'm swaggy (I'm swaggy), effortlessly (effortlessly)
That's how God made me (how God made me)
So, bitch, pay me (so pay me, ching-a-ling, ching, ching) (I'm black)
