They called me crazy They called me weak They called me aggressive a terrorist They told me I was a freak They called me arrogant Because I loved and expressed my melanin They hated the crown on top of my head so they tried to make me drop it instead They hate how the sun feeds my skin They hate how I shine through all the hatred They hate how I glow I’m so iridescent They can hate me but can’t break me Cause I’m a black girl and I’m a black pearl Pushing through this hell driven world Yes i’m a black girl and i’m a black pearl conquering this hell driven world by They said my lips were too big They said my skin was too dark said my body was too grown for my age They tried to create more scars They tried to hate on my hair They told me it was too thick and I shouldn’t go anywhere They hated my curls And how they balanced on my head So they tried to make perm it instead They hate how the sun feeds my skin They hate how I shine through all the hatred They hate how I glow I’m so iridescent They can hate me but can’t break me Cause I’m a black girl and I’m a black pearl Pushing through this hell driven world Yes i’m a black girl and i’m a black pearl conquering this hell driven world They hate how the sun feeds my skin They hate how I shine through all the hatred They hate how I glow I’m so iridescent They can hate me but can’t break me Cause I'm a Black Pearl Cause I'm a Black Pearl Cause I'm a Black Pearl
