Song: Black Women
Album/Project: The Moment
Producer: Best Kept Secret
What motivated you to write this song?
Sicks: I know a lot of extraordinary women of color in my life. They are intelligent, driven women that has the beauty to match. A few of them like to head out with their girls to the club and most of the music they hear is derogatory towards them. The music doesn’t reflect or respect the women that they are. Once hearing the beat, I just wanted to give them something they could bump in the club and feel the message behind it.
What message were you trying to convey?
Sicks: I wanted to convey the beauty of the history for Black women, highlight their strength and accomplishments, and that some of the physical attributes that others like some men hold so high don’t mean as much as the impact you can leave in this world by your actions.
Are there any stories that you would like to share in relevance to the song?
Sicks: The first rhyme you hear once the song plays which is “How the hell can you not love black women?” came while watching a certain segment during the BET Awards. I had written it on twitter and got a crazy amount of tweets. It was like I hit a button. I stored that thought in my head and it came out right when I needed it.
[Hook: PHZ-Sicks]
How the hell can you not love black women?
I’m talking black women
The Queens of Mother Earth
How the hell can you not love black women?
I’m talking black women
I’m talking black women
Sun rays baked in their skin cause the Earth revolves around them
I’m talking Black Women
(repeat)
[Verse 1: PHZ-Sicks]
Black women, those independent, I'm going to get it
My ancestors didn't suffer, 400 years for me not to go and win it
From HBCs to Ivy Leagues, knowing most people are out of your league
The backbone of the family, working even when fatigue
There’s a war going on outside and their black skin is their fatigues
Royalty is defined by them, go ahead, and speak on it, Queen
Just cause you dressed that way, doesn't make you a slut
You'll be fine without us and we damn right can't even judge
The life that you live when you gave all that you can give
IF we had half that strength, their probably wouldn't be so many weak men
Talking about what you need to be doing
Fuck 'em
Do what you want, change the world in the way you to see it
Remember you’re a Queen, so if there is any goal you want, you can easily achieve it
Uh, Do your thing, Queen, Do it
Do your thing, Queen, do your thing
Make sure what you leave behind is something
That will forever have your name ring-
-Ing in to an eternity
From Makeda to the slave ships
To right now to the cosmic
Go on, Queen, don’t stop, get it, get it, and do that shit
[Hook]

[Bridge: PHZ-Sicks]
Whether your hair's natural or relax

Nobody's gonna hold you back
Tell them mind ya business & get back
(repeat)
