B.G.A.K.

I know that my life matters
 I know that yes I rock
 Despite my lox I do love my hair
 I just colour outside your box
 I just colour outside your lines
 Black cat till the day I die
 In case you don't geddit I'm affirming
 That black grrrls are kawaii
 Pink lox in shock eyes pop jaws drop every time we walk the streets
 By far the vanguard of any style challenge we choose to meet
 (Who they think they are?) Who's asking?
 (Why you dressed like that?) Cuz I can
 Aesthetic and look assassins
 Yeh we took that shxt and ran
 We rock the pigtails twintails cat tails with ears to match
 We slay Lolita decora gothic glam with all panache
 Panache but that don't make us Minaj or Kim or any other chyck you pin
 No I don't know George Clinton but my dad knew him long story to begin
 Anyway –who you s'posed to be is an ask I get so sick of hearing
 You don't like how I look here's a solution stop staring
 Can't go pink hair don't care
 without compare to someone else out there
 Not only that there's those out there
 Who say we can't wear these clothes out there
 We say yes we can honeylamb won't
 hide our light cuz you can't stand it
 Yawl might not wanna hear this it goes against and some fear this
 You turn heads we snap spines go 'gainst the grain on both sides
 Don't play dress up I wear clothes
 think on that 'fore you look down nose
 I know that my life matters
 I know that yes I rock
 Despite my lox I do love my hair
 I just colour outside your box
 I just colour outside your lines
 Black cat till the day I die
 In case you don't geddit I'm affirming
 That black grrrls are kawaii
 Why are full lips okay for you
 And full lips aren't okay for us
 We come by this naturally thus
 Our full hips and our big butts
 Why wearing braids get us sacked
 That ain't fiction that's a fact
 Why can you embrace your curls
 But when we do it's a personal attack
 Why yank our culture roll
 Hip-hop rock and blue eyed soul
 Anime cosplays we can't do cuz reasons but
 Neither can you
 Why every time we make a statement
 About our beauty you try to take it
 And it's not just us it's anyone brown
 We stand up; you put down
 Is it fear of missing out
 Hell we missed out all our lives
 So we stood strong on our own two
 It's pro-us not anti-you
 White person did that yawl be mad
 You say but what yawl don't understand
 Is that yawl already got that and don't need it
 You refuse to believe it
 I know that my life matters
 I know that yes-- I rock
 Despite my lox I do love my hair
 I just colour outside your box
 I just colour outside your lines
 Black cat till the day I die
 In case you don't geddit I'm affirming
 That black grrrls are kawaii
 Look it ain't about excluding
 It's about us needing our own
 Cuz who's gonna lift us up
 When we're denied access to the throne
 We were told we just weren't pretty
 Or that our look just don't sell
 Even though that ain't quite right
 We acted and built up ourselves
 History months student unions marches
 Pride day these are a few things
 Got gear to assert we here
 Celebrating our kinky hair
 Celebrating our blackness you don't understand it
 Can't we just unite the planet
 Maybe but yawl need to know
 The system it don't always show
 Society straight negates
 The need for all that counterweight
 And all that hate cuz we say we're proud
 Already know too well they proud
 We do for us by us it's needed
 Black girls rock ain't being conceited
 When we say or wear that don't get butthurt
 Privilege is your tshirt
 I know that my life matters
 I know that yes I rock
 Despite my lox I do love my hair
 I just colour outside your box
 I just colour outside your lines
 Black cat till the day I die
 In case you don't geddit I'm affirming
 That black grrrls are kawaii
