 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Black Muslim Girl with the brilliance of many suns and the wisdom of many moons
Where every phase is a better you
Look at the divine at work while they deny our worth
Prayer bead woven fingers when we are triggered then proceed to whisper scripture
And strive higher than the brand of justice that was promised here
Here in the in-between
Here in the you can't hear yourself loud enough to hear your dreams
I know this system makes you nervous sometimes
But your nervous system was designed to feed you feeling
Impulse through your pulse for healing
Your winters withering in your bloom while holding on to their truths
Your Blackness has always been in season
Fire in your soul you hold more than they know
Shinin' like gold that glow is so magical
Black Muslim girls you are more than magic
You are powerful they can't even imagine
You are
Black gold, black gold, black gold
Black gold, black gold, black gold
You are more than magic
You are a multitude of dope, fly, out-of-this-world
Love making love to love melanated masterpiece
There is nothing tragic about you
The tragedy is a living in the kind of world that brings you the kind of grief
That has you digging the earth with your teeth
Duality wrapped at the tongue as you code switch deep enough to be
Black and Muslim but rarely at the same time
Your spine is the site of intergenerational trauma
They mine your back until it cracks
And exposes the black gold from your backbone that was sought but
This is not a minery
We are the kind of tired you become when you're both the product and the labour
Because apparently there's a bed here on our backs
That some will sleep on yet call themselves woke
Fire in your soul you hold more than they know
Shinin' like gold that glow is so magical
Black Muslim girls you are more than magic
You are powerful they can't even imagine
You are
Black gold, black gold, black gold
Black gold, black gold, black gold
Black Muslim girls you are more than magic
You are powerful they can't even imagine
You are
Black gold, black gold, black gold
Black gold, black gold, black gold
