Never Bring Me Down Lyrics by Maimouna Youssef
Verse 1:
I'm tired of all the fake love from ya'll
fronting like you want to see me win but really trying to do me in
Get under my skin, cuz you resent my confidence
You’d rather see me broken, ‘cuz I ain’t ego stroking
Nah, I'm a Brazen Heifer
yeah I'm a Bad Mutha
I grow in the shade
You don' gon' and made a monster
I'm not what you’re used to
I got that black girl Juju
Back water
Track slaughter
Swagger when I move through

Edges stay fleeky
Sneaker game squeaky
Serving Nefertiti
In that Fresh Dashiki

You fragile boys are jealous of women
I bet you dressing up in my clothes I left in the kitchen ,
‘hate to see me winning,
scared of my light,
don’t want to let me shine
cuz I’m the genuine article, I’m a one of a kind
But you love a mediocre chick
You place her neck to neck with me I swear I’ll choke a chick
You weak broads make it hard to gain leverage
Exchanging brain for deals but I ain’t having none of it
The ground I put them under it
You wouldn’t last a day in my stilettos
Melanin Kisses
Genuine Thickness
I was made in the ghetto

See Normally I don’t talk like this
But dudes be thinking they running this
And that’s wonderous
I ain’t gonna be finished ‘til I’m done with it

I told you I was good for the culture
When I’m winning, we all winning
But you pretending you vulture
Don’t even raise your black fist up
When you see me in the streets don’t even dap me up
You uncle Ruckas Master lovers need a Samuel L Jack back slap
Yeah I’m talking that / Jango
The way we let them thangs go
Don’t want that pie in the sky, I need my cake on my plate
Short me my fries, I'm gonna get out the gate
You stay trying to put me in my place
But I’m already here
A self-aware black woman is your worst fear.




2nd verse:

Hear me well,
I love my brothers
I give you all your propers
But don’t be mad at me ‘cuz I’m a show stopper
Yeah I’m a jaw dropper
Flyer than a helicopter
Read you like a teleprompter
But I’ll never tell a cop’a
I’m a boss, no bitch suffix is necessary
I’m Very
hard body like Chevy
I’m colder than January
Hold all of your commentary
Don’t need no more promissories
I told you that you ain’t ready
A Lot of men can’t deal with women of my caliber
If you can’t control her, bone her, own her then you mad at her
I walk by smelling like ylang ylang and lavender
But my body is mine sir, go and get a cavalier
How much do I own you for what’s already mine,
Shit, I earned it
I worked hard for every damn dime,
Only concerned with
My money being brought on time,
And when the revolution popping off, I’m on front line
Sometimes being a woman is like being black twice
I Gotta scream fire instead of rape
And you tell me act nice
Look pretty
Stay slim
Don’t talk loud
Don’t think
Don’t feel
Don’t act proud
But if I’m at my lowest, how are you 100 percent?
God made women and man for the balance of it
So will the real men please stand up
And defend what God made signing off with love
Will the real men please stand up and defend what God made signing off with love!
