A black girls guide to not being believed

Well first of you have to be black 
So if your not sorry about that
I guess you're just gonna have to be believed 
I know for once your not included
How does it feel not to be the centre of attention 
I guess it must be hard having white privilege 
Oh and also being favoured
And no I'm not joking

Anyways back to the point 
Black girls listen up
So what you are gonna need to is just open your mouth
Cause they don't like that
They'll call you violent 
Kicker is they hate when your also silent
And use that as an excuse to discredit us
To dismiss us
They do this intentionally 
So people won't believe us
I know 
How scandalous 

You're also gonna have to just exist
Yeah this one's gonna be the easiest
To accomplish
Us living apparently really hurts them
So they are probably gonna do everything
To make sure our voices are ignored by everyone
Because who is society going to believe 
I'll give you a hint
The ones who have privilege 
Sucks don't it
Well that's how you know you're doing something right
Cause remember we don't want to be believed

I mean it really is just that easy
Because when you're black
You're automatically not believed
