I love this song so much my neighbor came down to ask me what song I was playing because her grandmother used to play for her and when I listen to this song I just felt every single strife
Work is life. Life is work. Don't work, can't eat. What Nina is really talking about in the song Four Women is work. The types of work afforded to four different types of black women at the time when she wrote it. One was a maid, Aunt Sarah. One hit the light skin lottery, Saffronia. One was pretty and could be a prostitute, Sweet Thing. And our hero Peaches is bitter and tough because she works because she HAS to. Isn't the real bag being afforded the privilege to work at what you're good at? Take your talent and skills and maybe DNA inheritance if you're lucky and go do the work that pays you and pleases you and feeds your spirit back to the Source of all? That's freedom. Freedom to work at what you're good at and make it lucrative. No human being can escape the work. Thank you for your work, Miss Simone! ❤
My skin is black My arms are long My hair is woolly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again What do they call me My name is AUNT SARAH My name is Aunt Sarah My skin is yellow My hair is long Between two worlds I do belong My father was rich and white He forced my mother late one night What do they call me My name is SAFFRONIA My name is Saffronia My skin is tan My hair is fine My hips invite you my mouth like wine Whose little girl am I? Anyone who has money to buy What do they call me My name is SWEET THING My name is Sweet Thing My skin is brown my manner is tough I'll kill the first mother I see my life has been too rough I'm awfully bitter these days because my parents were slaves What do they call me My name is PEACHES
She is a genius. It's a shame something like that (phenotype) one needs a magnifying glass at times to distinguish between seems to have divided 'experiences' so unfortunately.

In 1965 she dared to say there wasn't just one black experience. Extraordinary song. MY NAME IS PEACHES!
Miss.Nina Simone is the human personification of beauty and strength.

My skin is black
My arms are long
My hair is woolly
My back is strong
Strong enough to take the pain
inflicted again and again
What do they call me
My name is AUNT SARAH
My name is Aunt Sarah
My skin is yellow
My hair is long
Between two worlds
I do belong
My father was rich and white
He forced my mother late one night
What do they call me
My name is SAFFRONIA
My name is Saffronia
My skin is tan
My hair is fine
My hips invite you
my mouth like wine
Whose little girl am I?
Anyone who has money to buy
What do they call me
My name is SWEET THING
My name is Sweet Thing
My skin is brown
my manner is tough
I'll kill the first mother I see
my life has been too rough
I'm awfully bitter these days
because my parents were slaves
What do they call me
My name is PEACHES
