Our Black Princess Lost
She turned fourteen only today
And
Impressive as she is
On a Whiteman’s catwalk
We have lost our child
Our only child
Somewhere she walks with them fella’s
Them real big fella’s
In New York
Somewhere we have lost a child to the new world
To
Money and power
To drugs
To stardom for fifteen minutes
Whilst her culture dies
