I am a seventeen year old Black Girl
My skin is brown and smooth
Born in Oakland California
I go to Oakland High
The first high school in Oakland.

I live where the people are into
Doing and dealing drugs
Grew up around it all my life
In my house and on the streets.

I am moving into a whole different world
Where education comes first
Trying to live the life my parents never lived.

I am a Black Girl today, tomorrow and forever
And this will never change.
