Little Girl
Kira Isabella Lyrics

Hey little girl, braids in your hair
A greeting to a young, innocent girl with braids in her hair.

Big bad world but you ain't scared, no
The world may be intimidating, but the little girl remains fearless.

'Cause nobody's gone and told ya To shut up, play nice, do what you're told Marry into money and don't ever let him go Is what they're gonna tell ya
The girl has yet to learn the narrow-minded expectations placed upon her in society, such as to be obedient, marry for financial stability, and never let her husband go.

'Cause it's two steps back and one step forward The judge and the jury are workin' for each other They ain't gonna tell you how to play the game
The justice system is flawed, inhibiting the girl from receiving proper guidance on how to navigate through life.

Little girl, don't ever let 'em keep you down Little girl, dream bigger than they tell you how Shake it up like a groundbreaker Shatter ceilin's like a skyscraper If they go low you go high
Encouragement to the little girl to never let anyone bring her down, to dream beyond societal limitations, and to be a trailblazer who breaks barriers.

Hey little girl, you're dressed to fit in Look like a star but call it a sin, whoa But they don't even know ya He lied to your face even though you love him You'll take the blame 'cause you had it comin'; whoa But you never had it comin', no
The girl conforms to society's standards to appear like a star, but is criticized and blamed for the deceiving actions of someone else. However, the blame is unjustified.

'Cause it's two steps back and one step forward The judge and the are jury workin' for each other They ain't gonna tell you how to play the game, yeah
Reiteration of the law's inability to guide the girl on the proper way to navigate life.

Little girl, don't ever let 'em keep you down Little girl, dream bigger than they tell you how Shake it up like a groundbreaker Shatter ceilin's like a skyscraper If they go low you go high
Continued encouragement for the girl to not let anyone inhibit her growth and to be a pioneer who surpasses limitations.

Don't ever let 'em make you feel little girl A little girl Don't ever let 'em make you feel little girl
Reminder for the girl to never let anyone belittle her or make her feel insignificant.
