Labeled
Black Girls Black Girls All Around the World
I'm not just like any other girl
They say we all go to parties and become. nurses
But I read at home and will be a surgeon
They say were are angry and have no class
But I am like a cat, happy with a little bit of sass
They believe we are strong and we’ll be just fine
But their words hurt like a needle to the spine
They say my hair is nappy and and all we are is loud
But I have tight curls and can be quieter than a mouse
They say we are “Ghetto” and have no dads
But I am civilized and authorized by both mom and dad
The greatest fear is of all is that it will never change
And the stereotypes will be stuck to my face
But like I said I'm not average
So that won’t stop me just continue to watch me.
