Black Pearl

(Intro) Black Pearl, Precious little girl Let me lift you up where you belong (Verse 1) Comin at'cha, can you feel what I'm feelin' Some soul sister need some natural healing Gifted but shifted, so come follow me Cause I'mma take you on a sister to sister journey Run to get mine, better get 'fore they grab it Like cold pepsi-cola, gotta say I gots-ta have it Stayin back too long, when you really got it goin' on It ain't nothing wrong with being strong, but you don't hear me though (Chorus) Black Pearl, Precious little girl Let me lift you up where you belong Black Pearl, Precious little girl You've been in the background much too long (Verse 2) Now, all my sisters with the bangles, tryin' on earings Tryin shopping with the Fendi's and ain't got a penny High school drop-out, only sixteen like she don't know no better Don't think it's a crime, cause nobody's there to tell her Life is scarce, if you don't take a chance you're losin honey The streets'll be the only place you make your money Let's get it together, that's the price you have to pay And if you live for the streets you'll see a better day One nation, under the groove, we got it open If we'd just learn to stick together, you know what I mean? Stop killin' each other, learn to love each other For the sake of a mother and a brother Run to get mine, better get 'fore they grab it Like cold pepsi-cola, gotta say I gots-ta have it Stayin back too long, when you really got it goin' on It ain't nothing wrong with being strong, but you don't hear me though (Chorus) (Verse 3) What I'm kickin ain't no joke, you better listen up Black black pressure, and pretty black pearl Yeah, I done been around the world and it's still all the same Everybody's still got a little shame in they game Scared to admit, well here's something you can lean on Hum the chorus to this song... It's a lot of strings attched don't let him play you like a buppy You gotta stay above it or your just like the rest of 'em Following some dry-ass dream, scared to move on and be more than you friends Self-motivation, for your self-motivate set the two Black Pearl's dedicated from Yo to you Run to get mine, better get 'fore they grab it Like cold pepsi-cola, gotta say I gots-ta have it Stayin back too long, when you really got it goin' on Now tell me what's wrong with being strong (Chorus till fade...)
