Pretty Brown Skin

Pretty brown skin
 Pretty light skin
 Pretty dark skin
 I see African written in you DNA
 Hello choco melanin
 From the motherland
 With your black skin
 Never should you want it any other way
 First things first
 I'm blackity black black
 I'm blackity black black
 I'm blackity black black
 If you don't like that
 You're wackity wack wack
 You're wackity wack I say what I say
 And that's that
 This is for 'em queen
 That's rocking 'em kinky twist
 From box braids to bantu knots and full lips
 'Em dreadlocks, Crochets, afros and real hips
 'Em pom poms and some edges that's real slick
 Now catch this
 Your black presence is necessary
 From big mama to Aunty Obama as First Lady are validated
 I still remember my mother's gumbo
 Saturday mornings waking to soulful sounds of Gospel
 The richness of ancestral lagacies and culture
 Our history extends beyond our American borders
 So please believe the hype
 You're not too much
 You are enough
 Never shrink back
 Always speak up
 Head tilted high
 One fist to the sky
 Don't doubt your worth
 Always add tax
 Know yourself first
 One thing's for sure
 You're made in the image of God
 Shape of the melanin bob
 Black woman, you'll never be stopped
 Pretty brown skin
 Pretty light skin
 Pretty dark skin
 I see African written in you DNA
 Hello choco melanin
 From the motherland
 With your black skin
 Never should you want it any other way
 Second thing first
 Still blackity black black
 Still blackity black black
 Still blackity black
 It's a blessing not a curse
 Don't ever forget that
 Don't ever forget
 If you need reminders then run this back
 You so pretty for a black girl is not a compliment
 Don't white wash who you are to be an option
 You don't sound white
 You just finished up your doctorate
 Black Benz, new house
 Pocket's real lucrative
 That's right
 Ballsy CEO
 Boss chick
 Killing stereotype
 Switching up the narrative
 Ain't no explanation needed
 That's all here it is
 Raising black kids with some black skins
 Liberation
 Educate them
 Let them dream big
 Adding flavour
 keeping seasoned
 Give 'em reasons
 To believe in what our ancestors dreamed of
 You are beautiful, invaluable
 Distinguishable royal
 Next time you look in the mirror
 Pause and say "black girl I love you" (I love, I love)
 Then repeat
 One thing's for sure
 You're made in the image of God
 Shape of the melanin bob
 Black woman, you'll never be stopped

 Hello choco melanin
 From the motherland

 Remember who you are
 Remember who you are and whose you are (shooting star)
 Don't forget that part (that part)
 Know that you belong
 Just as you are
 With your pretty brown skin
