Hello Lyrics

Hello, my name is Brea and yes, I know

Hello, this burden heavy, it needs to go

Hello, call the reverend, he needs to know

My cup it runneth over and

Little brown girl, tryna find her place in the world

Called her nappy-headed, she just want some 3C curls

Called her blackie, neighbors khaki, wishing her skin was pearl

Wish I could give her the world

Lips big, nose wide, they made fun of her

She would like a boy and they would choose the girl in front of her

Trying to uncover, uh

Trying to recover, uh

Fallen tears all over the furniture determined her

One day, looked in the mirror and said

That cocoa butter skin is beautiful in every way

No more fake, no more hate

No more letting people light her up and use her as an ashtray

That's Wa-c-k, wack for all of the illiterates

Alliteration, amazing, African, and ascending, she

Fell in love with herself and there's no need for pretending

And when they get to talking shit, it's her that she defending

It's her making decisions to love what she was blessed with

She confident now so she the wrong one to be messed with

She know she that girl, she ain't even gotta say shit

The boy from junior high came back, told him save it

Back then, they didn't want me

Now I'm hot and they all on me

Now I'm hot and we old homies

Back, back, nigga you don't know me

No backtracking, don't miss the old me

Black queen, I'm so pro-me

Love it to it grow, I'm fasho

And let the people know, so I say

Hello, my name is Brea and yes, I know

Hello, this burden heavy, it needs to go

Hello, call the reverend, he needs to know

My cup it runneth over and I let it flow, oh, oh

Hello, my name is Brea and yes, I know

Hello, this burden heavy, it needs to go

Hello, call the reverend, he needs to know

My cup it runneth over and I let it flow, oh, oh

Black boy, never really experienced Black joy

Built his dreams up just to be destroyed

From being the water boy to the dreadhead they won't employ

Always having a crush and end up the homeboy

Got involved with the wrong crowd, check it

Riding round town being loud, check it

Thought that he could make his hood proud

Till his best friend ended up in the clouds, check it

Walking around with a target on his back

From the opps, from the white man, from the strength that he lacked

He got tired of hiding out and selling them packs

So he reached out to the Lord to get him back on track

Picked him out the haystack, cleansed him, he's bare backed

Guided him to the light though his past was pitch black

No backtracking, don't miss the old him

Black king, I'm so pro-him

Love it to it grow, I'm fasho

And let the people know, so I say

Hello, my name is Brea and yes, I know

Hello, this burden heavy, it needs to go

Hello, call the reverend, he needs to know

My cup it runneth over and I let it flow, oh, oh

Hello, my name is Brea and yes, I know

Hello, this burden heavy, it needs to go

Hello, call the reverend, he needs to know

My cup it runneth over and I let it flow, oh, oh
