Baby Girl

[Intro]
Do you know your wealth
More than diamonds hiding on a shelf
Do you know who you are
God has made you a shining star

[Verse 1]
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 dont feel i am nothing of value or worth"

[Chorus 1]
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 dont you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, baby girl"

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
She says "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 dont you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, baby girl"

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
"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 dont you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, baby girl"

[Outro]
Baby girl, baby girl
Baby, baby, baby
