Black Girl Magic
Sprinkled in pixie dust
Or more like sand from the Khalahari desert
Inequivalent to 3 wishes out of a genie naw this is much better
Rubbing over lamps or prayers sent to heaven
Can't get it like rabbits out of a hat
Maybe if you ring out a Badu wrap over the top of some melanin
It's heaven sent
You gotta grin
Ain't too much better than
Starring in
The brown eyed reflection
Of a Queen stronger than Ms. Honeybee in a Black Dynamite fiction
More beautiful than a Dorothy Dandridge and a Nefertiti mixture
Skin of bronze and hair of wool they essence is depicted in scripture
It paints a picture so drastic
So fantastic
Its like the sun kissed version of disneys fantasmic
Something so dope it can only be described as
Black Girl Magic
Fuck, just imagine
It’s how black don’t crack mixed with a whole lot of passion
It’s elegance and style mixed with a whole lot of fashion
It’s kinky curly, coconut oil, and shea butter
Black Girls
They sparkling like magic
They say this sparkle is just a glimmer of everything that encompasses our women’s universal awesomeness
They bossyness
They confidence
When they walk with a switch
They lips be looking juicy and voluptuous
They I just left the shop and my eyebrows looking good, got me feeling saucy shit
They be talking shit
Nagging you in the kitchen but you gotta love they spirit
Or women like Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, and Serena Williams, shit you gotta love they spirit
Or like when Ms. Upile Chisala said “I Am Dripping In Melanin and Honey. I am Black Without Apology”
You betta talk that shit
Yea we love it
Ain’t nothing above it
They power and resilience
They so amazing its surreal and
I don’t know how to describe they dopeness
It’s hopeless I’m choking
In the face of this
This goddess of the sun
With her natural hair in a bun
Baby hair laid in the front
And her face beat to the Gawds
Got my pulse pulsating odd
Jumping like Jiminy Cricket or like my heart playing leap frog
This goes out to all my beautiful black queens
I wanna salute y’all and give you a round of applause
And I just thank god
For Black Girl Magic
