about

"For You" is a song about celebration. Celebrating the skin you're in, celebrating what makes you unique and beautiful. Sydney wrote “For You” during the height of the BLM movement in 2020. She felt that the media was constantly sharing negative images of the black community and decided to make a song to highlight what makes us special and beautiful. The song is written and produced by Sydney Raneé and will also be featured on her upcoming EP "Main Girl" that drops later this year.

lyrics

Lost in a sea of waves
Your hair stays so laid
Kinky and curly
Low top with a fade
Momma always told me
Be proud of your shade
Glisten in the sun babe
And if they hate let them hate
I just want to celebrate all of us
I just want to see my people win this one
From LA to NYC
All my sisters globally
To my kings in the streets down to my bro’s on Wall Street

This ones for you
For you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you
So do your dance aye
Own it yeah you’re royalty
This one’s for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you

Chocolate caramel
Melt in that melanin
Trendsetter, you do it well
I see you in your element
Pick up your phone and tell your friends
Cause we about to get it in
Dance cause its our moment
Soak up all this brown skin

So hold that crown up high
I just want to see you grind watch you shine
I just want to see them curves that look like mine
Afros to the sky fist held up high
This ones for you
For you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you
So do your dance aye
Own it yeah you’re royalty
This one’s for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you

We’re not gonna back down
Our skin wear it loud
Always protect your crown
Bad vibes get back, get back
We’re not gonna back down
Our skin wear it loud
Always protect your crown
Bad vibes get back, get back
Ooh
Get back, get back, get back
Ooh, yeah
Get back, get back, get back
