(Intro)
|
Black Pearl, Precious little girl
|
Let me lift you up where you belong
|
|
(Verse 1)
|
Comin at'cha, can you feel what I'm feelin'
|
Some soul sister need some natural healing
|
Gifted but shifted, so come follow me
|
Cause I'ma take you on a sister to sister journey
|
Run to get mine, better get 'fore they grab it
|
Like cold pepsi-cola, gotta say I gots-ta have it
|
Stayin back too long, when you really got it goin' on
|
It ain't nothing wrong with being strong, but you don't hear me though
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Black Pearl, Precious little girl
|
Let me lift you up where you belong
|
Black Pearl, Precious little girl
|
You've been in the background much too long
|
|
(Verse 2)
|
Now, all my sisters with the bangles, tryin' on earings
|
Tryin shopping with the Fendi's and ain't got a penny
|
High school drop-out, only sixteen like she don't know no better
|
Don't think it's a crime, cause nobody's there to tell her
|
Life is scarce, if you don't take a chance you're losin honey
|
The streets'll be the only place you make your money
|
Let's get it together, that's the price you have to pay
|
And if you live for the streets you'll see a better day
|
One nation, under the groove, we got it open
|
If we'd just learn to stick together, you know what I mean?
|
Stop killin' each other, learn to love each other
|
For the sake of a mother and a brother
|
Run to get mine, better get 'fore they grab it
|
Like cold pepsi-cola, gotta say I gots-ta have it
|
Stayin back too long, when you really got it goin' on
|
It ain't nothing wrong with being strong, but you don't hear me though
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
(Verse 3)
|
What I'm kickin ain't no joke, you better listen up
|
Black black pressure, and pretty black pearl
|
Yeah, I done been around the world and it's still all the same
|
Everybody's still got a little shame in they game
|
Scared to admit, well here's something you can lean on
|
Hum the chorus to this song...
|
It's a lot of strings attched don't let him play you like a buppy
|
You gotta stay above it or your just like the rest of 'em
|
Following some dry-ass dream, scared to move on and be more than you friends
|
Self-motivation, for your self-motivate set the two
|
Black Pearl's dedicated from Yo to you
|
Run to get mine, better get 'fore they grab it
|
Like cold pepsi-cola, gotta say I gots-ta have it
|
Stayin back too long, when you really got it goin' on
|
Now tell me what's wrong with being strong
|
|
(Chorus till fade...)
