Sanoja: Nicole C. Mullen. Talk About It. Baby Girl.

I?ve got a little friend
Her age is 4 plus ten
She calls me on the phone crying every now and then
She says, ?My mamma just won?t listen
My daddy still is missin?
I don?t feel I am nothing of value or worth?

I say, ?Baby girl get a hold of yourself
Baby girl don?t you know your wealth
You?re a diamond hiding on a shelf
Baby girl, Baby girl
Baby girl don?t you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, Baby girl?

I call my sister friend
I?m crying and whining again
She lets me vent my heart
Before the healing starts
(And I say) my children just won?t listen
My paycheck still is missin?
And every little thing is working my nerve
(She says)
