A Black Girl's Promise

Location

Washington DC
United States

Black girl black girl come to play

the sun is out, isnt it a nice day?

Black girl black girl you are very smart 

isnt it amazing how God makes art.

Black girl black girl why are you afraid?

dont let the man cast your future away 

 

Black girl black girl you must be strong 

for everyone is dependent on you, you are the one. 

Your curly hair and your dark brown eyes

there is no other like you, your limits are beyond skys.

Black girl black girl this is your time is now,

for your future is waiting so your legacy starts now.
