Brown Skin Girl

Damn sis, it’s 2022 and you still struggling to survive in this crazy, confused, closeminded, colorist white man’s world

Hearing words like “jigaboo”, “tar baby”, and “nappy head” to describe you

Damn shame too, cause they got you believing its true…

Got you bleaching your skin to fit in…

Got you going under the knife

Wearing contacts when ya eyes won’t ever be green or blue…

And relaxin your kinks and coils that ain’t even stressed out…

Sis, now tell me what’s that all about?!

Ooh Brown Skin Girl

Brown Skin Girl

You gotta stop doin the most to prove you belong in this white skin light skin is the RIGHT skin world

I know it stings to hear, “Oh she’s pretty for a dark skin, girl”

Hurts to know that the world’s interpretation of anti-blackness haunts and triggers you

Making your mind wander back to those plantations where cotton once grew…

Brown Skin Girl

Do yourself a favor

Pick up a mirror

Accept your beautiful Hershey’s colored skin

Embrace the diverseness of your kinky, coily, wiry hair

Know that when you look at your reflection there’s a true breathtaking black African queen standing there

Brown Skinned Gurl…
