Yul's Baby Anthem

I once rocked my daughter to sleep on my chest with this song
 I repeat the words so she will know she always belong
                                     ***

 Daddy, I am your little black queen
 Say it loud
 I am gonna walk in state serene
 I am black and black is proud
 
 Daddy, when you see under God's blue sky
 Say it loud
 Watch me walk with my head held high
 I am black and black is proud
 
 Daddy, I am your little black queen
 Joy of your love and love of your heart
 I walk unflinching in state serene
 O let me sleep, and dream my part
  
 Daddy, believe your little baby girl
 Tell the crowd
 I am gonna make mine a better world
 No doubts allowed

  Daddy, I am your little black queen
  O so black and black is proud
  Now let me sleep and dream serene
  No noise or fear allowed
