That Look In Your Eyes
There is something about that look in you eyes
Ya know the one Im talking about
The one that makes me go weak in the knees whenever you enter into the room
It makes me shy away from your random glances so that you don't see that Im Looking
I can tell that from the way that you randomly look around the room you are in Search of something
I don't know if I can offer that to you but I sure enough would like to try
There is something enticing about that look in your eyes
There goes that look in your eyes again
This time I see a strong black woman who takes no shit and gives it out just as equally
As it is passed out
I love my strong black woman and how they can make a thunderstorm look like a Sprinkle
Their strength, will and drive attracts me to them the most
There is something attractive about that look in your eyes
As I see you randomly looking around the room I catch a brief glimpse of your eyes Again
In your eyes I see the pain of 400 years and the pride and struggle of countless
Does anyone truly appreciate the black woman for whom they truly are
Can one man stand up and be there for his black woman
Our black women have been there for us but where were we for them
I see this look in your eyes for only one moment then it passes
There is something strong about that look in your eyes
Now as I see you talking to your girls I see your eyes again
In your eyes this time I see a friend for life
A woman who will be there for her friends and will expect the same from them
I see that you find it hard to be someone's friend when they are creeping with your Man
I see a black woman who wants to have a family one day and teach her girls how a lady Should act
Will no one truly respect the black woman
Will the black woman respect her sistahs
There is something respectable about that look in your eyes
As you get up to leave the room I see your eyes again
This time I see that you shall be a strong and successful black woman
You shall have a family that respects you
And a man that adores you
In your eyes I see that you will follow the will of God
And he will be there with you always
Trust in God and the rest will follow
There is something black in that look in your eyes
