Stand Up Black Woman

If they called you black woman
If they keep reminding you of your skin colour
I know they said  you are not beautiful enough
I know they pointed fingers at you about that 

Tell them you are aware of that 
Tell them unique is never the same
Get up and show them you 're good enough
Good enough to be flexin' in your skin tone

It's okay to be different it shows you are special
It's okay to accept who you are , 
Because no rule said you are impossible
Stand up black woman you are benevolent

Stand up black woman and show your capabilities
Stand up black woman and take up what belongs to u
You choose who you want to be 
You choose how you want to be seen

You are smart, unique and beautifully made
You are full of dignity and determination
Keep yourself strong and not afraid of the world.
Keep that chin up and head high because you are a blessing.
