Ringlets and curls,
Elastic and swirls,
Black girl, go on shine!
Smooth skin,
Lips, full of love within,
Black girl, go on shine!
Thick thighs, thin waist,
Confident, stride full of grace,
Black girl, go on shine!
Your hips carry the stories of your ancestors,
And your back arches with the strength you've inherited.
Your eyes twinkle with wisdom,
And your presence is easily, pure magic,
Black girl, go on, shine!
