Apollo Brown & Che Noir
The Apple
[Intro: Rihanna]
I'm a Black woman
I come from a Black woman
Who came from a Black woman
Who came from a Black woman
And I'm gonna give birth to a Black woman
It's a no-brainer, we're impeccable, we're special
And the world is just gonna have to deal with that
[Verse 1: Ché Noir]
Uh, Black woman
Look, as I talked to this crowd
This for my sisters on their grind and wear their bonets as crowns
Light chocolate or brown, a boss or they bow
Dressed like it's red carpets around
But still comfortable, bear face just lip gloss on their mouth
It's battles to fight
You was never the flashiest type
Being a girl that's independent and Black, it's a price
For what's a queen without a king?
You a apple of his eye, but that same apple caused a hassle
After Adam took a bite, you grind a hundred times
Because of life and cut your ties with n***as
Stay on your grind, there comes a time the sun will rise, my sister
But you don't love yourself, and I wonder why, my sister
You can't see what I see? Guess that's why love is blind, my n***a
Real beauty is flaws, beauty his God
Beauty is when you wanna give up, but you choose to be strong
Beauty is a queen with self-love and confident with her natural hair
Short or long but still wear a weave, knowing she don't have to wear it
[Chorus: Ché Noir]
Uh, I can turn a penny into a dollar, turn a couch into a bed
And fix the crown on my head, 'cause I'm the realest
I can keep it natural, made a crown from the hair in my comb
Turn a chair into a throne, 'cause I'm the realest
I can turn a penny into a dollar, turn a couch into a bed
And fix the crown on my head, 'cause I'm the realest
I can keep it natural, made a crown from the hair in my comb
Turn a chair into a throne, 'cause I'm the realest
[Verse 2: Planet Asia]
I dedicate this to my daughter, [?]
My [?] like a princess
I put that on my life, I will forever provide principles
Generational capital wealth
Before I go, just know ain't nothing like your natural self
It's daddy, just know I'm proud of you
I love you and cherish the kisses
The feminine offspring with all of my characteristics
Daddy's baby girl in this crazy world we live in
It's such a shady world for my baby girl to live here
But I ain't worried about it, I ain't sleeping on you
I know you'll probably have it figured out
By time you really understand twenty-one or twenty-five sneaking on you
Hardest pill to swallow, dirtbags will be creeping on you
Every weekend on you, and if you get into hustling
Make sure you got enough dough to keep a lawyer
If they ask about your momma, you can say she was the trillest
If they ask about your father, you can say he was the realest
[Chorus: Ché Noir]
Uh, I can turn a penny into a dollar, turn a couch into a bed
And fix the crown on my head, 'cause I'm the realest
I can keep it natural, made a crown from the hair in my comb
Turn a chair into a throne, 'cause I'm the realest
I can turn a penny into a dollar, turn a couch into a bed
And fix the crown on my head, 'cause I'm the realest
I can keep it natural, made a crown from the hair in my comb
Turn a chair into a throne, 'cause I'm the realest
