Little Black Girl (Live)

歌詞

Little black girl This is a song for you In case the world is busy And forgets to sing to you They've more important ships to sail Like building malls and saving whales So they don't see That you're the real endangered species Little black girl Can't always believe what you see It doesn't you're dumb Just cuz no one smart looks like you on TV That foul mouthed lady on the news In her houseshoes and curlers isn't you Nor an indication of what you should aspire to Cuz it's a minor miracle just to make your graduation When nowhere in your world is a hint of validation This is not political, it's personal My empathy runs deep Cuz you see, it happened to me So little black girl This is a song for you May not be too much But it's the least I could do Cuz when I look into your eyes I see myself and that is why I give you this and pray it saves you From feeling like I did Little black girl
