Little black girl
This is a song for you
In case the world is busy
And forgets to sing to you
They`ve more important ships to sail
Like building malls and saving whales
So they don`t see
That you`re the real endangered species
Little black girl
Can`t always believe what you see
It doesn`t you`re dumb
Just cuz no one smart looks like you on TV
That foul mouthed lady on the news
In her houseshoes and curlers isn`t you
Nor an indication of what you should aspire to
Cuz it`s a minor miracle just to make your graduation
When nowhere in your world is a hint of validation
This is not political, it`s personal
My empathy runs deep
Cuz you see, it happened to me
So little black girl
This is a song for you
May not be too much
But it`s the least I could do
Cuz when I look into your eyes
I see myself and that is why
I give you this and pray it saves you
From feeling like I did
Little black girl
