Little world protagonist rejecting the blue eyed gaze
Gonna be cold outside sometimes hard rain
Remember footsteps, Angela, Assata
Now you, say Black Girl Magic
You're a queen to me, you should see
Even when you don't believe
Promise me you'll to keep your head high
Ya gonna change the world
You'll change the world my little Black girl
Time after time, night after night you sit
Wondering how you seeing day to day
Living in this cold, cold world
Sharper than a knife, life will cut you off
But why you living like, you're no good at all
Tryna do what's right, hoping you go far, you will go far
All the stressin', the impressions, that you're different from the rest
No second guessing, you're a blessing, don't you see it's obvious
Always trying to prove, that you're kind, that you're smart, that you're strong
But be patient, you will make it on your own
You're a queen to me, you should see
Even when you don't believe
Promise me you'll keep your head high
You're gonna change the world
You'll change the world my little Black Girl
Black girls here eat sleep for breakfast
Black girls here don't have time to rest at the end of the day
Black girls know we are blessed
But girl aren't you tired
Always having to show your strength
You have to do two times as much to get half the way
But they wish they could be half as great
It's our magic that pulls us through
Our ethereal presence can stop a room but damn sis I wish you knew
A Black queen lives inside of you
