Nappy headed hoe,
But let me feel on that ass tho,
Oh... You ain't gonna let me hit,
Man you ain't nothin but a bitch,
Little black girl with no sense of direction,
With a big ol heart that wants love and affection,
Who holds it down and doesn't ask for anything back,
But all she seems to be good for is if she can ass clap,
A little black girl who is disrespected by someone she should call brother,
Hit with the words hoe and a bitch even tho she looks like his own mother,
To be a black girl is to be ridiculed by the media for having full lips, a fat ass, big breasts, and curves,
The same shit they turn around and praise Kim kardashian for,
To be a black girl,
Is to have your body and her dignity violated from the antebellum to present day Atlanta,
Sarah bartmaan to video vixens,
What's really our worth and does it even matter,
To be a little black girl,
Is to be put against other black girls based on who's skin is lighter
Who's jeans are tighter,
Who got that good hair,
The type of brands does she wear,
Who's bae and who's just the side,
Girl please open your eyes,
Hair snatching eyes scratching
Ratchetness being televised,
Reality television is like genocide,
Killing what we posses inside,
And can we ever get it back,
Can a caged bird ever learn how to fly when all their lives they have been trapped,
Can sistas learn to be queens again even with our souls cracked,
And can we ever be able to stand tall with our brothas instead of always being left on the rack,
Little black girl,
But their come a moment when that black girl,
Becomes a black woman,
A woman that have the souls of Nefertiti, Nzinga, Harriet, and many more with in her who keeps her driven,
So strong and driven she gets the title "Angry Black Woman" when she refuses to be silenced,
And when that doesn't work they choose to be violent,
R.i.p Sandra Bland
I'm sorry I have to say your name in this context but we are here to take a stand
Because it ain't no game being black, which is already a death sentence on its own,
But to be black women means that even within our own community we're forced to stand alone.
