i am black being black is a blessing i know being black is the fight the fight that young black girls should love the skin that you’re born in not to hate it i am black i’ve been bullied before i know my skin is different than yours i didn’t understand the hate being black is holding back pent up anger they can’t see you like that they’ll call meyou the ‘angry black woman’ but you’re just tired tired of seeing your brothers and sisters being killed by the police but they don’t understand they don’t understand that society is feeding me to the stereotypes i know i’m black stop following me when shopping no, i don’t want to become a basketball star Why can’t I just be me? being a black woman society always wants to tear you down where you think down is where you’re supposed to be but pick your head up your crown is falling because being black is joy i’m proud to say that i’m black all these hardships i go through is for the future because being black is my happiness
