The sway of my hips
My sensual lips
From my curvaceous figure
To my words that linger
Maya spoke of a phenomenal woman
Well I’m phenomenally me
It’s not about my beauty
But they way I speak
I see you lookin
But are you really listenin
Don’t see my clothes
Just see me
‘cause I’m writing phenomenally
Maya, you’re a phenomenal woman
Well I’m phenomenally me
My words are a representation of me
When I write they set me free
I don’t wanna be just a woman that you see
I wanna be
Phenomenally me
I’m me
So we
As women can stand tall and release
All the stress of the world
Give birth to a boy or girl
Be mother nature
Be mature
Be someone a child can adore
What more is better to be,
A phenomenal woman
Or a slave to the streets
I’m not just sayin this
To give you grief
But I bring you truth,
I bring you peace
I just wanna live in liberty
Maya, you’re a phenomenal woman
But I’m phenomenally me
Thanking God for all I am
Thank you for makin me proud to stand
I can take my sisters hand in hand
Now and be free
Be me
Maya
Thanks for bein a phenomenal woman
But I’ll stick to bein
Phenomenally me.
