Beauty Is Skin Deep!!!!

As the world turns, things are beginning to repeat
Light-skinned vs dark-skinned is back on the block
I thought growing up in the 70's was the end
But unfortunately the devil has shown his head again
Words are being tossed all in the media
Our younger generation can't finish one mission without negative
Interruptions overshadowing their dreams
Light-skinned vs dark-skinned shouldn't be, blame it on the men
Blame it on us women for falling into the model media scheme
And wishing to be like the air-brushed faces, bodies and images
I quite frankly am loving Me in my dark-skinned temple
Whatever color I put on this fully grown temple compliments Me
My skin-coca chocolate full figure hips brings the colors alive
Why should I question my BEAUTY when I make the SUNSHINE smile
It's not my fault that my so-called brothers can't appreciate this coca chocolate bar
I walk with confidence because GOD has named me a Star
So the next time you see a colored woman in your path
Don't be quick to turn your lips
Because it just maybe that same colored woman
That saves you before you make a painful slip
Beauty Is Skin Deep!!
