[Verse 1]
Brown skin
Soft light
Dress tight on these thick thighs
Everybody staring when I walk by
But they don’t see the war inside my body
Pretty face
Big smile
Still I’m folded on the floor some nights
Pain cut deeper than these stretch lines
I’m so tired of fighting in this silence
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I pour another drink
Text that man back just to feel something
Or lay this phone face-down
Pray that love could ever want this aching ground
[Chorus]
My body got secrets
Scars in the dark
And they don’t know
I’m stuck between the weekend
And somebody waiting at my door
I don’t know if I wanna be a ho
Or hold a heart that don’t let go
God
Send a Black man to see me
To touch this soul
To open my eyes slow
‘Cause my body got secrets
But I still wanna be known
[Verse 2]
Got hips made for worship
Still I’m curled up in a cold tub
Cramping through the club lights in my head
Trying to dance the fear off of my chest
Mama said
“Baby
You’re a blessing”
Doctor said
“Baby
That’s a lesson”
How can I be all this temptation
When my womb stay waging litigation
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I test his tenderness
Tell him all the ways my nights get heavy
Will he kiss these pills on my nightstand
Or just chase the picture on my page again
[Chorus]
My body got secrets
Scars in the dark
And they don’t know
I’m stuck between the weekend
And somebody waiting at my door
I don’t know if I wanna be a ho
Or hold a heart that don’t let go
God
Send a Black man to see me
To touch this soul
To open my eyes slow
‘Cause my body got secrets
But I still wanna be known
[Bridge]
Can you love me when I cancel plans
When I bleed through sheets and shake your hands
Will you lay behind me
Hold my waist
Tell me I’m still holy in this broken place
I’m a storm and I’m a sunrise
Thick thighs
Wet eyes
Black pride
If you real
You gon’ stand in this fire
Turn this hurting girl into something higher (yeah)
[Chorus]
My body got secrets
Scars in the dark
And now you know
I’m done with just the weekend
I want somebody waiting at my door
I don’t wanna be a ho
I wanna feel a love that grows
So be that Black man who sees me
Kiss my pain and open my eyes slow
Yeah
My body got secrets
But I still deserve to be known (oh)
My body got secrets
Come love the woman in my soul
