Black girl, black girl, look in the mirror.
Do you know who that woman is you see?
Study her for a few seconds.
What do you think of her?
Is she to you what she is to others?
Anyone can tell you she’s beautiful,
but it means nothing if your eyes don’t glisten on their own.
Her cheekbones are high and may puff out like that
gorgeous afro she rocks when the weather is nice.
Black girl, black girl, look in the mirror.
Who do you really see?
Plump lips, deep brown eyes, and chocolate skin is what you see.
But who do you see?
She isn’t just any kind of woman.
No, no, no
That’s a strong woman in that mirror.
She has a head on her shoulders filled with positive thoughts.
Such as one day making the world hers and inspiring others.
You’re looking at a woman who is bad.
She knows who she is and she ain’t afraid to be herself.
She’s a woman who moves with clarity and purpose.
She believes that nothing is impossible for her to do.
Is she perfect?
Not at all.
She’s made mistakes but she’s learned from them and became the woman she
stands as today.
Black girl, black girl you’re staring at profound greatness and destiny.
You forgot who you are so I thought
I’d remind you.
This world will never keep a strong
woman like you down.
Look in that mirror and blow a
thousand kisses to the woman that you see.
Everyday won’t be easy.
But you remember who you
are and make this world your Queendom beautiful!!
