She has courage so she stands tall
She is a rock, she is a wall
She's got faith that never waivers
She's got skin like an alligator

She's unbreakable, she's impervious
Years of constant struggle made her this
And look at what circumstances gave her
She's got skin like an alligator

How you may ask, could she withstand
What would surely defeat the common man?
But she never let her dark days break her
She's got skin like an alligator

For she has seen all that she has loved
Taken from her even flesh and blood
And yet she smiles she's no complainer
She's got skin like an alligator

To hope, to believe how could she dare
With haters and naysayers everywhere
Well she's got faith, and she says favour
She's got skin like an alligator

To be black and a woman one things for sure
It's the reason for hardships she has endured
She says love prevails cuz love is greater
She's got skin like an alligator

And for all her efforts and tireless labour
They still owe, they never paid her
One day maybe they'll appreciate her
No matter, she's got skin like an alligator.
