 I gotta question


Why are black girls so angry


Can’t even say Hi without them being cranky 


Walking down the street with straight attitude 


They just jealous cause of how they look, well that’s what I assume


Hi I’m an “angry” black girl  


 Before you start to judge take a step into my world 


“Hey Shaniqua”, 2 people from block E had said


That’s not my name,  


But people never understand my claim


It’s so annoying when I get mixed up with another black girl


When we don't even look the same. 


They think that they can shame me 


Saying I’m 


Nappy headed!


Baldheaded!


Man just forget it 


“Lightskins or Darkskins what’s your type?”(


 What’s the difference I just don't get the hype


It really doesn’t matter don't you find that strange 


I find it disappointing my people don't understand change 


It’s just so frustrating! 


“There goes the black girl getting aggressive again” 


This stereotyping thing just never comes to an end 


To this walking caricature, I am condemned 


I got one more question


I’m just gonna say it blankly 


Please let me know


Why do we Make black girls so angry!
