Lyrics
Black girl we'll leave this light to
Addressing a Black girl, suggesting a break from responsibilities.
Someone else for now
Suggesting the transfer of responsibilities temporarily.
You can close your eyes, let your hair down
Encouraging relaxation, letting go of stress.
Breathe in, breath out
Encouraging calming breaths.
Yes, there will be battles you sometimes lose
Acknowledging the challenges faced and occasional losses.
They’d never last for a day in your shoes
Recognizing others wouldn't endure similar challenges.
You still need to rest too
Highlighting the need for rest despite responsibilities.
You still need to rest too
Reiterating the importance of rest.
Black girl i know how much it hurts
Acknowledging the pain of proving oneself constantly.
To always prove your worth
Highlighting the difficulty in gaining recognition.
They won't make it easy but baby, believe me
Assuring that despite difficulties, things will improve.
Your life is precious, and you'll be alright
Affirming the value of life and assuring a positive outcome.
Let’s lay down for a while
Suggesting rest and reassurance that others will manage.
They'll be just fine
Reassurance that others will be fine without immediate help.
It's ok you can keep your magic to yourself
Encouragement to keep personal strengths hidden.
Keep it tucked away
Suggesting protection of one's unique qualities.
They'll have to find another wonder for today
Implying others will find solutions without immediate assistance.
You don't always have to be the
Emphasizing not always needing to be the savior.
One to save the world
Encouraging a break from the responsibility of saving the world.
It's ok you can keep your magic to yourself
Reiteration of keeping personal strengths hidden.
Keep it tucked away
Reiterating the importance of safeguarding unique abilities.
They'll have to find another wonder for today
Implying others will find solutions without immediate assistance.
You don't always have to be the
Emphasizing not always needing to be the savior.
One to save the world
Encouraging a break from the responsibility of saving the world.
You’re always the one to save the world
Noting the consistent role of being a savior without appreciation.
And they never say "Thank you girl"
Expressing lack of gratitude for constant saving efforts.
I love you, goodnight i love you, goodnight
Expressing love and bidding goodnight with affection.
Goodnight
Ending with a simple "Goodnight."
