little colored girl
Dear Little colored girl, Do not sit in the back of the class, sit up front, Close to the teacher so when your little chocolate arm shoots up in the air, She’ll see it. little colored girl, Do not be afraid to be smart, Knowledge is power! Make them Recognize you. little colored girl, You are so intelligent, And that will intimidate them. They don’t want you to be your best. So they’ll try to knock you down. Talk about you fairly dark skin, Say it isn’t beautiful. But look down at you hot coco arm and remember black is beautiful. little colored girl, You are a beautiful black princess With so much worth. little colored girl, Be the best that you can be Take advantage of everything. Ignore them, Don’t you once back down Or doubt yourself Because you are somebody too
