Be (Outro)

Dear Stephanie
May your voice ring loud and proud
May even your softest tones move mountains
May your whispers bring down buildings
Cause you deserve all the adoration
You are, gorgeous
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Inside and out you are gorgeous

I smile just thinking about you
Thinking about where you're gonna go
And how you're going to grow
And who you will become
I know
You're beautiful

And don't let anyone tell you
Your black is disrespect
Disappointment
Or disapproval
You're black is perfect
Godsent
It was created on purpose
It's meaningful and valuable

So why do you let doubt linger so long?
Why bother let doubt linger when you know
The definition of cool is "black"
So stay in that cool
Grow in that cool
And mold in it
Be

I can't wait to open my eyes and see you out there shining
Being who you were created to be

So pick up that mic!
Tell your story
Live your story
And be
Just be
I can't wait to see it

All I need is room
For these dreams to echo
