Little Black Girl

LITTLE BLACK GIRL
                                                                  Written By: Famekia Dingle

                                                                                                 


 Little black girl hold your head high,
Don’t look down and let life’s joys pass you by.

     You are one of My Father’s creations,
Beautiful and Strong

Don’t you ever let this world steer you wrong.

     Stand up straight baby ebony, Stick your chest out, 
Walk like you have gold minds diggin in your back yard.

     Be proud of who you are and from where you come,
Believe me little black girl God don’t make no mistakes.

     Don’t listen to the evil they say or
Allow the wicked they do to stop you.

     Cause when you smile the heavens open and that’s a fact.
Go ahead let them hate you for that 
     Gods got your back.

     Don’t think it strange when love passes you and gently lifts your chin,
Little black girl hold your head high

    With God you’re sure to win.
