Rebekah - Love Song lyrics

Little black girl

This is a song for you

In case the world is busy

And forgets to sing to you

They've more important ships to sail

Like building malls and saving whales

So they don't see

That you're the real endangered species

Little black girl

Can't always believe what you see

It doesn't you're dumb

Just cuz no one smart looks like you on TV

That foul mouthed lady on the news

In her houseshoes and curlers isn't you

Nor an indication of what you should aspire to

Cuz it's a minor miracle just to make your graduation

When nowhere in your world is a hint of validation

This is not political, it's personal

My empathy runs deep

Cuz you see, it happened to me

So little black girl

This is a song for you

May not be too much

But it's the least I could do

Cuz when I look into your eyes

I see myself and that is why

I give you this and pray it saves you

From feeling like I did

Little black girl
