In a world that's spinning fast where dreams may seem so far
You're a masterpiece a shining star
Melanin-rich like the midnight sky
A tapestry of beauty don't be shy
Shine like gold let your colors unfold
In your skin a story brave and bold
You're a diamond in the rough a beauty to behold
Young black girl let your tale be told
From the roots that run deep to the rhythm in your stride
Carry your history wear it with pride
Maya's wisdom Harriet's might
In your journey find your light
Shine like gold let your colors unfold
In your skin a story brave and bold
You're a diamond in the rough a beauty to behold
Young black girl let your tale be told
In unity we rise sisters side by side
Break the chains of doubt let your soul confide
For every twist and curl for every shade so fair
Young black girl breathe in the air
See your reflection a queen in the mirror
A symphony of strength drawing nearer
In the tapestry of time your essence
Shine like gold let your colors unfold
In your skin a story brave and bold
You're a diamond in the rough a beauty to behold
Young black girl let your tale be told
In the melody of life let your rhythm play
Young black girl seize the day
Shine like gold let your colors unfold
In your strength a story forever told
