A diamond you areÂ
So blackÂ
In all shades
The texturesÂ
The varietyÂ
You're preciousÂ
And greatÂ
From dark
To lightÂ
To carmelÂ
AlbinoÂ
Your preciousÂ
And brightÂ
Beautiful in ALL waysÂ
Hair curls likeÂ
The wind blowsÂ
In the nightÂ
Some kinkyÂ
Others curlyÂ
But all gorgeousÂ
In His sightÂ
Theres beauty in yourÂ
ThighsÂ
stretch marksÂ
And your hipsÂ
Don't let that manÂ
Use you like your justÂ
His tipÂ
Like your justÂ
that extra side to his hipÂ
That makes him look
Like he's fly or he's litÂ
You seeÂ
Society may look
and say what they want
those girls at your school
may act like a punk
Be rude
Be mean
But don't you dare think
You're NothingÂ
Because black girl
Black women
You are powerful
A QUEEN
As you glow
Like a sun dressÂ
Golden touch from the sky
Shine in the light
Bash those big eyes
Lift your head up
Wipe that tearÂ
Arise
Empower
Lift up
Don't be afraid
To reach new heightsÂ
As you
embrace who you areÂ
Because you'reÂ
Amazing my friendÂ
You are a starÂ
You're phenomenalÂ
So confidentÂ
So delicateÂ
And smartÂ
So my sisterÂ
Stop comparingÂ
Who's lighterÂ
Or who's darkÂ
Lift each other upÂ
cherish each heartÂ
Because we are allÂ
but the same
Fighting our own battles
trying to dodge every dartÂ
So black girlÂ
Black womenÂ
EmbraceÂ
The beautiful queenÂ
That you are
Because you're a diamondÂ
In the mixÂ
Shinning like a starÂ
But you gottaÂ
say in your spiritÂ
"I am a warrior
I will not quitÂ
And I chooseÂ
To raise the bar."Â
