Black Girl
Who tried to find a reason—
To intentionally dim your light.
Do not shrink yourself,
Black girl—
Do not shrink yourself.
Do not step aside—
The moonlight will miss your shimmer.
The sunlight adores you,
Black girl—
The sunlight adores you.
Tell whomever that is trying to dim your light,
You will blind them.
Your light is your soul's smile,
Black girl—
Your light is your soul's smile.
Step into your radiance.
Let all who refuse to see it, melt.
Black girl—
Let all who refuse to see it, melt.
