Do you ever make it out of your head?
Do you still swim in your thoughts?
Do you still mistake your flaws for property?
Somethin' that just don’t sit right with you
But Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Your wings can't weigh you down
But angels make a way somehow
And if we fall
We fall on clouds
Black girl here
Black girl with the Black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God-sent
You're an angel
...
Heaven wears your halo
They know you’re an angel
...
I'm a big deal
I gеt sick and tired of holdin' it in
Rich blood
You can probably see the gold in my skin
I'm more than a girl
Won't let the troubles of the world
Come weigh me down
...
But angels make a way somehow
And if we fall
We fall on clouds
Black girl here
Black girl with the Black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God-sent
You're an angel
...
Some might hate and they wait on your fall
They don't know there’s a grace for it all
My flaws don’t make me
Beautiful and real are you
They cannot compare
All you
Perfectly a masterpiece in all of me
Even my scars
Even my scars
Black girl here
Black girl with the Black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God-sent
You're an angel
