When I heard you, you fascinated me
I even ask God why it took so long
I searched for myself, then you showed up
When I heard you, you fascinated me
You were there shattered, so misunderstood
Blatantly different from how they talked about you
Your gaze revealed how much you disagreed
They turned you into a crutch for what you hated most
Yeah, what did they do to you?
Brown girl, what did they do to you?
When I heard my brown girl
Something there made me happy
Today I see it's all my fault
For not listening to what the brown girl says
She's straight talk and words of life
Your speech is my favorite reading
You turned inside out what I thought I knew
'Cause your standpoint taught me to see life
I wake up early just to see you
Brown girl, God was inspired when He made you
You looked at me so deep
It felt like a sword with two edges
And it cut me right inside the soul
Splitting spirit, joints, marrow
Anyone who judged never knew you
The whole world flipped through; lucky is the one who read you
Every time we talk
And assemble a version of me
That's way better than this one
It's that I'm in such a hurry
To leave for a place better than here
