I'm a girl child
I'm a girl child
I'm a Black girl child
I'm a girl child
I'm a girl child
I'm a girl child
I'm a Black girl child
I'm a girl child
This is not a song to tell you not to put me in a box
This is not a song to say I can do what I can clearly not
I am me
And you are you
It's that simple!
Seated in the world
Hoping to exist
Remind you that I'm me
Not the words of your ideal
When I wake tomorrow
Ready for new battles
Remind you I exist
Show you what you missed
Let nothing defile what's within
(Black girl child)
Drop your boxes
And maybe you will see
We're all worth it
Call me by my name
You can afford it
I fully exist outside these boxes
Your boxes
Boxes
I know it makes it easier
But we've lost it
I'm me and you are you
And that is just it
They don't seem to do us both justice
These boxes
Hold your head up high (high)
No limits in the sky (sky)
Live outside the lie (lie)
Reject the rules and fly (fly)
When you wake tomorrow ('morrow)
Ready for the battle (battle)
Remind them why you're here (here)
Explain why they should care
Let nothing defile what's within
Drop your boxes
And maybe you will see
We're all worth it
Call me by my name
You can afford it
I fully exist outside these boxes
Your boxes
Boxes
I know it makes it easier
But we've lost it
I'm me and you are you
And that is just it
They don't seem to do us both justice
These boxes
Drop your boxes
And maybe you will see
We're all worth it
Call me by my name
You can afford it
I fully exist outside these boxes
Your boxes
Boxes
I know it makes it easier
But we've lost it
I'm me and you are you
And that is just it
They don't seem to do us both justice
These boxes
