Little black girl ready to cry, look high.

Look high at the sky and see.

See all the beauty that you are and all you are yet to be, just see

that you are more than big lips and an attitude.

You are fierce with high altitude.

Do not be held down by mental chains that they use to make you slave to their word.

Be heard.

It's okay to be loved for your mind and not just your body.

Try twerking with your lips and not just your hips.

Scream high and loud and show them you aren't just another face in the crowd.

Little black girl look at that melanin in your skin and see your grace within.

Before they'll realize that your black is beautiful it is you who's got to see it too.

Little black girl at the end of the day you've gotta be the one to say I'm okay.

Say I'm okay with what I see when I look at me because it is nothing but beauty.

Little black girl don't let anything tear you down or throw you on the ground or make you change your smile to a frown.

Little black girl, you are loved.

Little black girl, you are not done.

Little black girls, we are one.
