“BLACK SHEEP” is a song off Qveen Herby’s debut studio album A WOMAN released on May 21, 2021 via Checkbook Records.
The emotional mid-tempo track is an ode to Qveen’s troubled relationship with her mother. Qveen sing-raps over a strings driven beat about seeking her mother’s approval for the music...
[Chorus]
I may never come around
'Til you come around, oh
I may never come around
'Til you come around
Yeah, mama, I do
I do, ooh, I love you
I may never come around 'til you do, ooh, ooh
I may never come around until you, ooh, ooh-ooh, do, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Feeling like I lost my way again
Nothing really changed, doin' really great
This California lovin' state I’m in
You do not approve of what I choose to do
And now I taste the shame and everything
Thought I did it right, now I'm in my prime
Are you sure there's not a way you can
Be a part of this amazing journey that I'm on?
No, it's not too far (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
You wanted sugar, you got salt
All this silly small talk
When your daughter calls
All this silly talk (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Hard to get across
Promise that I never meant to be your black sheep
[Chorus]
I may never come around
'Til you come around, oh
I may never come around
'Til you come around
Here, daddy, I do (Ooh)
I do, ooh, I love you
I may never come around 'til you do, ooh, ooh
I may never come around until you, ooh, ooh-ooh, do, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
True they say, you can't have everything
That's just not the way, earth is made to play
I know I wasn't born with angel wings
Still we made it work, I learned to sing at church
And strange I think you always knew this was me
Too provocative, to give you grandkids
But I can help a million others win
Those who never fit in, those who wanna find their calling
Don’t waste any time (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Try to get me to comply
This is who I am
Spare the heavy sighs
It's lonely at times (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
But I've found my tribe
Promise that I never meant to be your black sheep
[Outro]
My love for you is so deep, black sheep
My love for you is so deep, black sheep
My love for you is so deep, black sheep
My love for you is so deep, black sheep
My love for you is so deep, black sheep
BLACK SHEEP was written by Qveen Herby.
BLACK SHEEP was produced by Pompano Puff & Nick Noonan.
Qveen Herby released BLACK SHEEP on Fri May 21 2021.
Qveen talking about the lyrical content of the track for her Forbes Magazine interview: “Black Sheep,” which is kind of the ballad on the album. That’s one of my favorite lyrics, it’s got a really vague chorus and the verses get really specific. I love having to squeeze your intention into the fewes...
