Hey, black girl,
Walk with your head held high.
Smile with your teeth, perfect white.
I see you, smart and beautiful,
And everything in between.
Be proud of that, your golden skin.
Grin, the Emporer's rays caress beauty.
You are beauty, black girl.
Let not the scorns of seers of color
Be the bleach that sheds your skin.
Hey, black girl,
Be bold in your covering.
Your golden skin signifies power.
Don it with pride,
Your blackness is true.
Rare magnificence,
One authentic black girl,
Chiseled to perfection.
Stride with your chin up,
Pure valor in every step.
Don't despise it, I beseech,
This color, this pigment inside you.
It is ebony.
Ebony is true.
Love your blackness, black girl.
For you are black and black is you.
