FLAWLESS, I Am!
Yes, I am an African American teen girl and well educated
Martin Luther King Jr. paved a way so I can say I finally made it.
Day by day I face discrimination
From this so-called united, free-willed, and lawful nation.
But FLAWLESS, I Am!
Everyday I wake up I fix my hair and brush my teeth
Put on my clothes and shoes, look in the mirror and examine myself from my head to my feet.
I hold my head up high anywhere I go
To prove to every soul that I am it and this I will show.
But FLAWLESS, I Am!
I strive to do the best I can, if you only knew
All the things I manage to live and go through.
Discipline is what I learn
And respect is what I will soon earn.
But FLAWESS, I Am!
See most people think that they can't make it in this world
Especially if you're genetically born a girl.
Like i said before, yes I am an African American teen girl and well educated
Martin Luther King paved a way so I can say I finally made it.
And FLAWLESS, I Am!
