"You are the designer of your destiny; you are the author of your story." — Lisa Nichols
Black woman are trending now
On the charts going up and down
But racism and sexism still rage
Nothing is ever really new
No, not in this life
What makes a black woman cool?
Is it the way she wears her hair?
Or the way she is caring and unselfish
I think it is Her bravery and her courage
The willingness she has to tell her story
Even when she is threatened
How she shines in the crowd
Without even opening her mouth
Black women are the finest thing smoking
Intelligent and well spoken
College degrees and fronting magazines
Glamorous and fabulous you must see
Black woman are trending now
On the charts going up and down
