FAMM labelmates, Southeast London rapper ENNY and R&B singer Jorja Smith, linked up for an epic performance of the single “Peng Black Girls Remix” on COLORSXSTUDIOS.
Delving into the struggles of being a “Peng Black Girl” in UK — Peng is a word used to describe someone who is attractive — the two beautiful recording artists addressed issues they face daily as black women, including the road to achieving their dreams, being criticized for their looks and having greater representation in the industry.

There’s peng black girls in my area code | Dark skin, light skin, medium tone | Permed tings, braids, got minis afros | Thick lips got hips some of us don’t | Big nose contour some of us won’t | Never wanna put us in the media bro | Want a fat booty like Kardashians? (No) | Want a fat booty like my Aunty got yo | Wheel up the bloodclart tell her reload it | I’ve got the camera my girls are posing | I need some back up then my ones are rolling | Grown woman ting so I’m never at risk | Mind my own business so I’m never in mess. | Who am I? I ain’t bait Get a slice of the cake | Want a house with a view And a new pair of shoes | Keep it real from the jump Gucci gang little pump | Little vibe, little bass, little kick, little snare | Little lies big truths Do you, they don’t care Do you, they don’t care | Get your ass out the box and build up from there | I don’t have a gang with me But I still walk with a gangster lean | And rock Nike’s cause we think they’re clean | MJ leather jacket, beat it Billie Jean MJ leather jacket cause I think I’m bad That’s cool I like it The growth The light The pain The fight We love We fight We hurt We cry He paid the price You’ll be alright
I think I need some time away I took a little time I prayed We gon be alright ok Alright ok Alright ok Alright I think I need some time away I took a little time I prayed We gon be alright ok Alright ok Alright ok Alright ok Jorja
Enny said There’s peng black girls in our area codes | These black girls need to be in the shows | Be on runways Not just mood boards | On top of that we gotta see them in your team | look at your crown Natural relaxed Had a Jerry curl one time | Soft n sheen Where black girl magic is sometimes blue | might of broke a hair band or two | Raise my voice you gonna say that I’m angry | Kiss my teeth now u say I’m hood | Kid at 16 say it’s my destiny | Drive a range they think I’m up to no good | Give us a break and let’s us breath man | Give us a chance, let us achieve fam | And I know that my hair looks different today Don’t touch my hair |New hair Who this|
Old black bomber jacket And the Bantu twists | Look mind over matter I can handle this | We’re fine took a second the rewards in risk | See I think that I care too much | Bottle of some Courvoisier 2 cups | I’ve got nothing to give | but you love check my flaws and all my trials | I was black back when it wasn’t even in style|
