Little Black Girl Lyrics - Singles - Rebekah

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 mean you're dumb 

Just 'cause 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 

'cause 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 

'cause 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 

'cause 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
