White girl doesn't want to appropriate a struggle that isn't her own.
Black girl hates white girl, says sit down girl shut up girl, you don't know what you're talking about girl.
White girl goes to her aunties wedding and knows she doesn't belong.
Black girl isn't as pretty as white girl, won't be accepted like white girl.
Black girl says White girl isn't real girl, Black girl says this isn't White girls body, isn't white girls fight, isn't white girls right to be angry.
I
girl, I play white girl, I play good girl , I play don't care girl.
I girl
Can feel the blood inside my body waring with itself,
I girl can feel the blood parting like the red sea as I girl tear myself apart trying to find my culture, my skin , my side.
I girl , am proud of black girl
I girl, hide black girl
I girl, am I the oppressor and the oppressed
Black girl tells white girl to be more black
White girl tells Black girl she doesn't have the right , girl, to feel black
I girl is a body split in half
