What an American Girl is
What an American Girl?
 
Used to be hair tied up
Wearing ribbons and pearls
 
Look how she move now
She so sweet
She so tough
 
She wear her hair down now
Or if she do wear it up
 It's her natural curls
Wrapped
In ribbons and bows
While she stay signing letters
With XXXs and OOOs
 
And it's XXXs and OOOs
Forever and ever now
Ribbons and bows and stay getting better now
 
She a picture
She a mama
In all black and pearls
Took her daddy's world and made it wild
For Black American girls
 
I said she's a daddy's girl
In a daddy's world
That how she got strong
Raised me in a house she paid for
Put our life in a song
 
And yes it's XXX's and OOOs
Forever and ever now
Ribbons and bows
And stay getting better now
 
Then the phone stayed ringing
The tv stayed lying
Y'all know I was that baby crying
Now the phone even worse
In your purse
Burn your eyes
Every screen a diet guru now
Telling every kind of lies
Watch her hustle, watch her fight,
Watch her write, for her life
She put on makeup
That's her armor
To get through the day alive
 
Now she pay someone to fix the sink
She pay someone to mow the yard
Her life look real good now
Working so hard
 
We done with slow dances
Love thy self, that's romances
 
With Aretha, God, and Patsy Matraca and good wine
Take every chance and then some
Kick down doors
Waste no time
 
Raised a real one
Mama's girl
To run a brand new world
Raised me to wear my hair down
Raised me to love my curls
Taught me to sign my letters
Taught me to wear my pearls
 
And it is XXXs and OOOs forever and ever now
Ribbons and bows and stay getting better now
 
And it is XXXs and OOOs forever and ever now
Ribbons and bows and stay getting better now
 
For American girls
Black American girls
