[Verso 1]
Cmaj7 D
When I was no taller than four ol' feet
Em Dsus2
Wise ol' Daddy said to me
Cmaj7 D
"Don't be too much, but don't be too little
Em Dsus2
If you wanna get out, live right in the middle"
[Pré-Refrão]
Cmaj7 Dsus2
I can't always save you, little girl
Cmaj7 Dsus2
I can only pray this filthy world
Cmaj7
Doesn't break you down piece by piece
Dsus2
Like all those people did to me
Cmaj7
They'll comment, prod, and poke your skin
Dsus2
'Cause they just can't stand the sight of it
Cmaj7
And I hope that's not your future
Dsus2
But just in case it is...
[Refrão]
Cmaj7
Don't be too loud, our loud isn't their loud
Em
Don't be too proud, girls like you can't be proud
G D
Humble, smart, and patient, live those words like they're sacred
Cmaj7
You're Black, baby girl
Em G
Oh-oh, don't waste it

When the dresses got smaller, smaller than me
Em D6(2)
Dear ol' Daddy cleared up some things

Em
Don't give 'em one reason to hate you
D6(2)
Don't give 'em one reason to start"
[Pré-Refrão]
Cmaj7 Dsus2
I can't always save you, little girl
Cmaj7 Dsus2
I can only pray this filthy world
Cmaj7
Will lift you up and keep you safe
Dsus2
And you come home every day
Cmaj7
They don't assume the worst in you
Dsus2
Just 'cause they don't match your hue
Cmaj7 Dsus2
I hope that's not your future, but just in case it is...
[Refrão]
Cmaj7
Don't be too loud, our loud isn't their loud
Em
Don't be too proud, girls like you can't be proud

You're Black, baby girl

Uh-huh, don't waste it, don't waste it
Outro
Cmaj7 D
And in fifteen years, I hope I don't give the same speech
Em Dsus2
To my little boy, Tommy, he likes race cars and Nikes
Cmaj7 D
I hope I can save that little boy
Em Dsus2
He is just a kid, and so am I
Cmaj7 D
Like all the ones before him who hurt and begged to just fit in
Em
I pray this world can find its penance
Dsus2
I hope one day those kids can forgive it
