The Struggles of a Black Woman
The struggles of a black woman is at best a horrific, tumultuous one
But the black woman is strong and will not be un-done
We don't always do what we want to
We just do what we have to do
We've had to put up with so many un-fair things in life
Like hunger, desperation, molestation, and strife
Oh we have thrown our hands up and cried
For the hand we were dealt made the price to high
Will you as a black man stand by my side
Or will you walk and pass me on by
A strong black woman and much skills do I possess
And I will rise to pass the test and come out better than all the rest
What ever challenge or obstacle that's put before me
I'll put it down and hold my own fearlessly
I will finesse, finagle, and manage to win
Will my struggles in life ever end
