Black girl
We'll leave this light to someone else for now
You can close your eyes, let your hair down
Breathe in, breath out
Yes, there will be battles you sometimes lose
They’d never last for a day in your shoes
You still need to rest too
You still need to rest too

Black girl
I know how much it hurts
To always prove your worth
They won't make it easy
But baby, believe me
Your life is precious, and you'll be alright
Let’s lay down for a while
They'll be just fine

It's ok
You can keep your magic to yourself
Keep it tucked away
They'll have to find another wonder for today
You don't always have to be the one to save the world

It's ok
You can keep your magic to yourself
Keep it tucked away
They'll have to find another wonder for today
You don't always have to be the one to save the world

You’re always the one to save the world
And they never say “Thank you girl”
I love you, goodnight
I love you, goodnight
Goodnight
