Legacy +: For​(​e​)​ward

2021

[Verse 1]
Young lady, how are you today?
Young lady, how are you today?
Young lady, so wa dada
Young lady, you want to grow?
Young girl, don't be naive, he says (He say, he say, he say)
Young girl, don't be naive, he says
Young girl, you want results
You know what to do for him to help you
No (No), no (No)
No, please, sir, he says (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
She you won't pay for it, he says (Please, sir)
She you won't pay for it, he says (Please, sir)
So you don't want the job, he says (Please, sir)
So you don't want results, he says (Please, sir)
You're beautiful today, you're beautiful today
You're beautiful today, you're beautiful today
You're beautiful today, you'rе beautiful today
How many guys have told you?
How many guys have told you?
How many guys havе told you?
You're beautiful today, you're beautiful today
[Pre-Chorus]
Grow (Grow)
Can she grow? (Grow)
Will she grow? (Grow)
Can she grow? (Grow)
If you let her grow (Grow)
Can she grow? (Grow)
Will she grow? (Grow)
Will she grow? (Grow)
[Chorus]
Tell me now, now, now, now, now, now (Tell me now, now, now)
(Tell me now, now, now, tell me now, now, now)
Why? (Why?)
How long (How long)
Must her people follow?
Leaders that kill
[Verse 2]
Allow her
Let her be
Nothing is going well for her, you see
Allow her (Allow her)
Let her be (Let her be, let her be, let her be)
Nothing is going well for her, you see
What she thinks, what she feels
What she does, what she does
What she wants, what she needs
Nothing is going well
Where should she go? (Where)
What should she do? (Where)
Where should she do? (Where)
What should she do?
Where should she go? (Where)
What should she do?
Where should she go?
When all else fails
When all else fails
Oh, the challenges you face (She will rise)
The challenges you face (She will rise)
The challenges you face (She will rise)
I know not (She will rise)
I know not (She will rise)
But still she says (She will rise)
That inside
She feels the strength in her
She knows she'll make it through
No matter the hurdles she faces
Or the walls that she breaks
And she says
And she says
And she says she knows
And she says she knows
She is black, she is proud
And she knows, she loves herself
From her skin to her nose
Hair, lips, and all of those
[Pre-Chorus]
Grow (Grow)
Can she grow? (Grow)
Will she grow? (Grow)
Can she grow? (Grow)
If you let her grow (Grow)
Can she grow? (Grow)
Will she grow? (Grow)
Can she grow if you let her grow?
[Chorus]
Tell me now, now, now, now, now, now (Tell me now, now, now)
(Tell me now, now, now, tell me now, now, now)
Why?
How long (How long)
Must her people follow?
Leaders that kill her
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the challenges you face
The challenges you face
The challenges you face
The challenges you face
The challenges you face
The challenges you face
The challenges you face
I know not, I know not
I know not, I know not
Of the challenges you face (She will rise)
The challenges you face (She will rise)
The challenges you face (She will rise)
The challenges you face (She will rise)
The challenges you face (She will rise)
I know not, I know not
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
