Hey, Black Girl! You’d better Smile
It’s Been a Long While.
I know,
it’s been hard.
Nobody knows your journey
No one knows your story
They think that we are all the same
They think that all we want to do is complain
They don’t see our strife
Our grind
Our passions and belief
That things
CAN ONE DAY, CHANGE-
Hey Black Girl, Smile
I better see a change in your face
No need to worry about yesterday
Those dreams you get lost in a lot
If you can see it
Then make it happen
It’s time
Come on, take your shot
And don’t wait for anybody to gift you a chance, for perfect timing, or convenience
Let’s Work NOW, Today
Hey Black Girl, Smile
You are GOING to make it
You are going to
Create it
Cultivate it-
Ignite a revolution
And light the spark to the future That you ARE anticipating
To partake in
Prepare to Participate!
Because YOU DO MATTER
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Look in the mirror,
Never let em’ tell you that what you have to offer is worthless.
OR
Unattractive
Unappealing
Or not desired
Or Unappreciated
NEVER be that foolish!
You ARE the hottest commodity
That breaks necks when peasants, friends, critics and fans come about in your presence
But you MUST
RISE to that Occasion-
Black Girl, you must wipe your tears
I know it’s hard
You thought the road would be easier
A lot simpler
But guess what, Black Girl
You are STILL HERE
So, what you gone do, then?
Show me what you working with…
Smile-
I better see a change in your face
Let the world know that you came on a Mission
And Have NO TIME TO PLAY -”
I love this it’s so inspiring! The world is very cruel but we have to rise above it.
