Yeah, I hear you, Nas, I hear your words, your pain, your truth
But this ain’t just your story, it’s mine too
So let me speak my piece, let me shine my light
This Black girl’s been lost, but now I’m ready to fight.
You see me in the club, you see me in the streets
But do you see the weight of the world beneath my feet?
I’m more than just a body, more than just a face
I’m a queen with a vision, tryna find my place.
You talk about my struggles, my mistakes, my scars
But do you know the fire that burns inside these stars?
I’ve been through the pain, I’ve felt the sting of shame
But I’m rising from the ashes, I’m reclaiming my name.
I was lost, but now I’m found
Got my feet on solid ground
No more chains, no more lies
I’m a Black girl reaching for the skies.
I was lost, but now I’m free
This is who I’m meant to be
From the darkness to the light
I’m a Black girl shining bright.
You say I’m caught in the game, juggling too many hands
But do you know the pressure of these societal demands?
I’m a mother, a sister, a warrior, a dreamer
Trying to balance it all while the world gets meaner.
You see my Chanel, my nails, my curves, my style
But do you see the woman who’s been running miles?
I’m more than what you see, more than what you assume
I’m a phoenix in the fire, breaking out the tomb.
You call me lost, but I was searching for my way
Through the noise, through the pain, through the night and day.
I’ve been hurt, I’ve been used, I’ve been pushed aside
But I’m standing tall now, with my pride as my guide.
I’m not just a story, not just a song
I’m a legacy of strength, where I belong.
I was lost, but now I’m found
Got my feet on solid ground
No more chains, no more lies
I’m a Black girl reaching for the skies.
I was lost, but now I’m free
This is who I’m meant to be
From the darkness to the light
I’m a Black girl shining bright.
So Nas, I hear you, I feel your heart, your care
But this Black girl’s story is beyond compare.
I’m not just lost, I’m not just a name
I’m a force of nature, and I’ll never be the same.
I’m a Black girl found, and I’m here to stay
This is my truth, my light, my way.
