Songs to Inspire and Uplift Black Women
Raheem DeVaughn “Woman”
“Like there’s no you, no me, if there’s no us,
(thank you)
And if she ever hears an urgency
She’ll come in a rush
(thank you)
To the rescue, man you better find you a
Woman, woman, woman
Strong woman, woman, woman…”
Raheem has been a sucka for a good black woman from day one (see “You” and of course, “Customer”), and nothing changed when he dropped the song “Woman.” Not only a declaration that black men need to do what they can to find one, but also a shout out to the mothers, single and with help holding it down with that nurturing love. A merged thank you for staying up late waiting on phone calls, for turning the other cheek, yet snapping off when you need to, there’s no shame in a black woman’s game. And DeVaughn proves such.
