Black Woman Lyrics - The Jungle Brothers

Black Woman, mother of my earth 

Black Woman, you gave me birth 

You can truly see what's in me 

You can help me be the best that I can be 

You feed my fire when I'm on the wire 

Keepin' me calm when it's gettin' higher 

Sweet like sugar and hot like wine 

Always keepin' ya on my mind 

Givin' my life a new light to reach for 

Giving me so much how could I ask for more 

Keepin' us tight when we're gettin' loose 

The darker the berry the sweeter the juice, black woman 

Black woman 

You started of just a little girl 

Given the power to change the world 

And though some of your ways to man are odd 

You are the proof that there is a God 

Black woman ya are the mother of all 

Black woman ya stand so firm and tall 

And as you aged mind body and soul 

You became more beautiful 

You are the future, you are the wisdom 

The wisdom that the evil forces tried to hide 

But no longer will you be hidden 

In my Jungle you always will exist 

Your wish is my command, your command is my wish 

And the job of the Man is to respect and and protect 

Be fruitful and multiply 

Honor and love love and honor, until the day she dies 

Black woman 

Black woman 

Black woman 

Black woman 

Black woman 

Black woman 

Black woman 

Love the woman's weapon 

With every great man there's a woman behind him 

Her womb is the chamber that produces life 

Her breast provides the nutrition for growth 

A guardian angel in the flesh 

Representin' the man that watches over us both 

Sent from the Heavens and the skies above 

Black woman it's you that I love 

You are the Moon that I reach for 

There's no doubt in my mind that it's you I adore 

Sent from the Heavens and the skies above 

Black woman it's you that I love, black woman 

Black woman 

Black woman
