Soar like the eagle up in the sky,

Work hard like the bees in the hive.

Overcome all the pressures that come your way,

Don't let sadness be the order of the day.

Resilient, steadfast, and strong like a lion.

Don't let anybody tell you, "you can't achieve".

Look deep within yourself and find that power,

Power to accomplish all your dreams and desires.

Lickkle black girl,

Hold yuh head up high.

Lickkle black girl,

Don't be shy.

Don't let society dictate who you should be,

Stand firm, stand tall like the Rock of Gibraltar.

Know who you are, be true to self,

Don't give up, never you quit.

Maximize your potential, believe in yourself,

Even when there’s nobody else.

Today, tomorrow, and forevermore,

You will always be a queen and that's for sure.
