Black Girl Lost. Black Girl Magic

For my beautiful women of color don't give up and don't give in!

Young Black Girl, tell me your biggest dreams? So I can diminish your mind for thinking foolishly.

Young Black Girl, tell me where your headed? Matter fact, forget it because the future won’t let it. I need you to tell me, better yet where your head is?

Young Black Girl, tell me what you wanna be? Matter fact forget it, the system already got you beat! I need you to tell me what you want to see.

Young Black Girl, are you accomplishing anything? I hope you know the world is always watching and criticizing things.

Young Black Girl are you succumbing to the streets? Running the block, body in heat, mind conflicted and your actions aren’t sweet.

Young Black Girl, as the saying goes “Slow feet, don’t eat.” So you abide in a nature that counteracts any good you have and watch they can call you a rat, ya see.

Young Black Girl, you know this ain’t how it has to be. Even though the world is telling you, what they want you to be. I’m telling you that you can be what you want to be!

I agree and I like the logic of the words.
"Young Black Girl, you know this ain’t how it has to be. Even though the world is telling you, what they want you to be. I’m telling you that you can be what you want to be!"
The above lines should be taught to all women. Be who you are, not a fake face for this world. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the amazing poetry. Need to be read by more people.
