Strong Black Woman


I'm a Strong Black Woman, proud and true.

I'm a Strong Black Woman, no matter what you do.

I'm a Strong Black Woman, as the sky is blue.

I'm  a Strong Black Woman and yes, I've been through.

 

Through the hurt and the pain.

Through being called "Nigger" instead of my name.

Through being lied on, hurt and framed

I'm a Strong Black woman and I'm not ashamed.

 

Through stress, ulcers,and surgery,

Through the loss of a friend, what occurred to me

Is, I'm a Strong Black Woman for all to see.

 

 

Through the sleepless nights and hungry days.

I thank GOD for giving me my ways!

Think I'm too powerful now? It's not a phase!

I'm a Strong Black Woman who you can hate or praise!
