lyrics

Thandiwe
By Andre Henry

(Verse)
Ooh you know you bad
Natty dread empress
With your Black pearl skin
Precious melanin (yeah)
An’ yuh body come een like di hill dem in Montego Bay
An’ yuh whine up yuh waist like nobody deh watchin’ yuh, babe

(Pre-Chorus)
I know that fragrance anywhere
That cocoa butter, baby, and jasmine oil
And I feel a passion in the air
A high, a high vibration
That you givin’ off

(Hook)
Thandiwe!
Thandiwe!
Thandiwe!
Gone get it, cuh
Gone get it, cuh
Go off with your Black self
(repeat)

(Verse 2)
I bet you you got an altar at home
Bet you got crystals all under your bed
I can tell
Cause you drippin’ with wisdom
You quoting Fanon and Friere
I’m don’t fall easily but
Your energy takin’ me there

(Pre-Chorus)
A Babylon tell wi seh wi no beautiful
A Babylon tell wi seh wi no fair
But wi n'affi guh long suh
We got our own definition (oh)
Nobody cyan tek wi love from wiself
