Rebekah - Love Song lyrics

rate me

Little black girl<br />

This is a song for you<br />

In case the world is busy<br />

And forgets to sing to you<br />

They've more important ships to sail<br />

Like building malls and saving whales<br />

So they don't see<br />

That you're the real endangered species<br />

Little black girl<br />

Can't always believe what you see<br />

It doesn't you're dumb<br />

Just cuz no one smart looks like you on TV<br />

That foul mouthed lady on the news<br />

In her houseshoes and curlers isn't you<br />

Nor an indication of what you should aspire to<br />

Cuz it's a minor miracle just to make your graduation<br />

When nowhere in your world is a hint of validation<br />

This is not political, it's personal<br />

My empathy runs deep<br />

Cuz you see, it happened to me<br />

So little black girl<br />

This is a song for you<br />

May not be too much<br />

But it's the least I could do<br />

Cuz when I look into your eyes<br />

I see myself and that is why<br />

I give you this and pray it saves you<br />

From feeling like I did<br />

Little black girl
