They dont understand me
and probably never will...
I was beaten, down, broken
but thank God I am healed.
They dont see how I can love
in spite of all that was done...
They dont know its by\
the grace of God...
that I've come...
This far to tell my story
of a Black girl,
woman forever striving
To make life for those
who come after me worth surviving...
To fight another day
in spite of what they say...
Baby girl, they'll never
understand the way...
You love and protect your children
even if sometimes to hard...
The way you love your man
like there's no tomorrow...
How you can still sing,
shout and praise God!!...
Even after they said Today
is your last day
no more money in the
budget....sorry.
No they DONT and
WONT understand me...
I am beautiful...I am a proud
...I am a protective mother...
I am a fierce lover...
I am a committed
friend...
I am
fearfully and wonderfully made...
I am a black woman.
