The Struggles of a Black Woman

The struggles of a black woman is at best a horrific, tumultuous one But the black woman is strong and will not be un-done We don't always do what we want to We just do what we have to do We've had to put up with so many un-fair things in life Like hunger, desperation, molestation, and strife Oh we have thrown our hands up and cried For the hand we were dealt made the price to high Will you as a black man stand by my side Or will you walk and pass me on by A strong black woman and much skills do I possess And I will rise to pass the test and come out better than all the rest What ever challenge or obstacle that's put before me I'll put it down and hold my own fearlessly I will finesse, finagle, and manage to win Will my struggles in life ever end
