A Black Girl
I, I’m a black girl
A black girl from Zambia
And no, I do not know your friend that comes from Gambia
A black girl whose hair needs to be done
A black girl that can’t express her feelings
because she is too aggressive
A black girl that needs to lighten her skin
to be seen as impressive
A black girl that knows her worth and
can wear her curls which were given by birth
A black girl that doesn’t live in fear and
doesn’t think about how she must appear
A black girl, A black girl, A black girl
The hardest thing to be
