The Black Girl's a Graduate
September 27, 2008
DESTINED TO DREAM DESTINED TO FLY
TO SHOOT WAY ABOVE THESE CLOUDED SKIES
TO LEAVE THE BOUNDRIES OF THIS EARTH BEHIND
TO VENTURE NEW WORLDS UNKNOWN WHAT SHE'LL FIND
HAIR SO THICK AND SKIN LIKE NIGHT
THE DIFFERENCE OF HER CAUSES SOME FRIGHT
BUT SHE KEPT ON WALKIN WITHOUT A FROWN
BECAUSE IN THE END SHE NEW NOTHIN COULD BRING HER DOWN
WALKING UP ON THAT STAGE HER DIPLOMA HAD BEEN WON
IT WAS MAGIC WHEN SHE REALIZED WHAT SHE HAD BECOME.
