Strong Woman (Remix)

[Intro: Mukukā & Remi Kolawole]
Ba, ba, ba-da-ba
Woo

[Verse 1: Remi Kolawole]
You weren't around, It felt like you weren't around
But looking back on myself, I wasn't ready to be found
I was fucking around, like boxer losing round
Ignorance was my method, all you had was profound
Messages 'bout my my netty had turned it into a crown
There's things about my heritage, what it means to be brown
There's no charade, we're black messiahs in chains
So racism that's engrained, black lady you were the sound
Of my freedom, freedom, that's for myself, that is
I mean, you made me put the pens back on the shelf, my dear
Straightened me out like father's leather belt
Back in the sixth grade, yeah, I can still feel the welts from here
Gave me food from my soul, straight outta your mind
Throw shade on my parade when I stray outta line
Safe to say you're my sanity, yeah, this point in time
Although you crazy, but you're just as crazy as I
So aye, aye, capitan

[Chorus: RAIZA BIZA]
Show me love, give me strength through the night
Love me well, love me well, show me light
Show me light, show me love, show me you
'Cause all I need, all I need is all in you
There's strong woman where I'm from
There's strong woman all around
Strong woman all along
Strong woman where I'm from

[Verse 2: RAIZA BIZA]
The mothers, the aunties, the grandmothers
The sisters that ain't blood, but still, they still love us
If you ever been a father or son or little brother
Then you understand the love I describe, it's real, brother
Yeah, yeah, I got a lot of admiration for you
Give me the signal and you know that i'll be waiting for you
I don't know why they disrespect you when you sacred and true
I wanna take you to a few and get a table for two
Strong woman, I tell my momma she mean more to me
She gon' tell me if she feel like I've been with the wrong women
I still remember my grandma, must've been fifteen
Since we shared time, everything you said to me is clear now
Got a couple kids now, their mother is a queen
But we couldn't make it work, but I know that doesn't mean
That we bad people, and that I still see you
I'm turning into you and every word I say is true
Like you taught me

[Chorus: RAIZA BIZA]
Show me love, give me strength through the night
Love me well, love me well, show me light
Show me light, show me love, show me you
'Cause all I need, all I need is all in you
There's strong woman where I'm from
There's strong woman all around
Strong woman all along
Strong woman where I'm from

[Outro: Mukukā]
Strong, tall, beautiful
Strong, short, beautiful
Strong, scarred, beautiful
Ba, ah-ba, ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba-da-ba
