Swaying your hips when you walk
Popping your gum when you talk
The hood raised her.
Sassy, yet classy; disrespectful when needed
Dudes try to get at her, she doesn't need it
Unnecessary drama of hood life
She sees herself in a different light
College bound, career found
Ghetto girls can make it out!!
Attracted to the finer things in life, she finds her way out
From a road already doomed and booby trapped,
She sees success isn't far
Go left into the light or go right into the dark
Sometimes feeling alone, she strayed back to the dark
Her trials and tribulations bring her out
Unknowing that girls just like her around
staring down the same path, just looking for a different way
Broken down & beaten by society; Black girls can do it!
Never alone, but always forgotten
Black girls stand strong!
