Black girl scared of her own image, Her own reflection When she looks in the mirror she sees imperfection, So she looks the other direction Black girls mind is full of misperceptions
Bleaching her skin so she can be white enough Straightening her hair cause white hair ain't tough But all her efforts are never good enough
Black girl you're too loud Black girl you're so ratchet Black girl don't make a sound Black girl just shut it
But loud is not ratchet Boldness is simply passion For you're voice, black girl Is the voice of generations who Were subjected to oppression
They have tried to keep you quiet They have tried to **** you and your pride But black girl you haven't died Black girl you're still alive Black girl take full stride
Scrutinized about her lips But Kylie gets praised Scrutinized about her hips But plastic surgeons get paid To have that silicon made for the kardashians to put on display. Along with their "boxerbraids"
Correction Their called cornrows So I'm sorry if you were under the impression That the style is Kim kardashians invention But It was Worn by slaves and others all through out oppression As a form of self expression Only made possible through the hands of a true magician
Black girl you are magic But that doesn't mean you don't feel Black girl you are real So don't conceal all your ebony appeal
Dark eyes, thick thighs we don't have to apologize Don't listen to the world and it's lies
Whether dark,light, or mixed racial Your skin, your hair and your soul Are beautiful Black girl they don't see you're value And they won't until you do
They have tried to keep you quiet They have tried to **** you and your pride But black girl you haven't died Black girl you're still alive Black girl take full stride
Black girl power Not just black girl hour Black girl this is your time Black girl rise up and shine Black girl get in formation Take control of the situation Demand the attention of the entire nation Because everything about you is captivating
Black girl you are a queen You don't need sunscreen For You're skin was made to be sheer butter or as rich as coffee beans I'm sorry it's beauty goes unseen
Whether dark,light, or mixed racial Your skin, your hair and your soul Are beautiful Black girl they don't see you're value And they won't until you do For one thing is true They only envy everything ebony about you
