Black Child
~~
keep ya' head up Black Child
for there are white folks 'round.
waiting for you to look down and slip up
so they can steal yo crown.
read ya' bible Black Child
and read it right
for the people around you
have turned it white
speak louder Black Child
say yo' words clear
and don't falter
when the white man near
express ya' self Black Child
and know your worth
with determination you can move
the heavens and earth
stay strong Black Child
life gon get hard
but stand by the light
and receive an almighty guard
but you gon make it Black Child
and live a good life
for the ancestors are with you
guiding from strife
