A video of me talking about black women as the main character again! In this video essay, I ramble about/explore the trope of the quirky/awkward black girl in the films, tv, shows, and in real life. Shoutout to all the quirky/awkward black girls out there keep doing you! The people in the thumbnail are some of my favorite quirky/awkward black girl creators and characters: Issa Rae of Insecure, Michaela Coel of Chewing Gum and I Will Destroy You, Zoe Johnson of Black-ish and Grown-ish, Samantha White of Dear White People, Kelly Stamps from Youtube, and Rue from Euphoria.

Lyrics
Did you lose what won’t return?
Did you love but never learn?
The fire’s out but still it burns
And no one cares, there’s no one there

Did you find it hard to breathe?
Did you cry so much that you could barely see?
In the darkness all alone
And no one cares, there’s no one there

Well did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you? Did you?
Did you see the sparks feel the hope? You are not alone
Cause someone’s out there, sending out flares

Did you break but never mend?
Did it hurt so much you thought it was the end?
Lose your heart but don’t know when
And no one cares, there’s no one there

Well did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you? Did you?
Did you see the sparks feel the hope? You are not alone
Cause someone’s out there, sending out flares
Someone’s out there, sending out flares

Did you lose what won’t return?
Did you love but never learn?

But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you? Did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope? You are not alone
Cause someone’s out there, sending out flares

Well did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you? Did you?
Did you see the sparks feel the hope? You are not alone
Cause someone’s out there, sending out flares
Someone’s out there, sending out flares

►LYRICS:
818 I’m on the way
(I’m On the way)
I’m thinking about you every day
(Everyday)
I think we should spend some time away
(Stay on the beach)
Stay with me in heaven everyday
(Everyday)
I wanna feel ya body on me
Tall palm trees and kaleidoscope dreams

Cause girl I got that CABIN FEVER
You made me a believer
Eating marshmallow pies
I can see it in your eyes
Girl it’s your speaking and I wanna believe ya

Girl I really wanna believe ya
If you love me, how come I never see ya
Eating marshmallow pies
while we’re flying through the sky
Girl I got that CABIN FEVER

310 we’re on the go
(We’re on the go)
Our life just like roller coast
(Rollercoaster)
I sip slow you took too long
My heart and soul I call your phone
I’m on the road
I wanna feel ya body on me
Tall palm trees and kaleidoscope dreams
I’m at home thinking about you and me

Cause girl I got that CABIN FEVER
You made me a believer
Eating marshmallow pies
I can see it in your eyes
Girl it’s your speaking and I wanna believe ya

Girl I really wanna believe ya
If you love me, how come I never see ya
Eating marshmallow pies
While we’re flying through the sky
Girl I got that CABIN FEVER

Up every night
You got me up every night
Stuck on your eyes
It’s like it’s full of surprises
Hand on your thigh
I got your bed on my mind
Can’t sleep at night
Dreaming of a summertime
Thinking about a summertime
She’s a goddess
Body divine
Girl your sweeter than the grape off the vine
Dreaming about a summertime

I got that CABIN FEVER
I got that CABIN FEVER
