brown skin girl,

refined and divine

and until the day is done

don’t compare your skin to no one 

they might spit and snarl 

but the light of the sun will always reign on you 

they see it too 

brown skin girl 

don’t cry 

your melenated skin

the curves of your hips 

to the brightness of your smile 

don’t let them dull your shine 

you are one in a million 

a comet amongst the stars 

brown skin girls 

all across the globe 

don’t feel discredited because you’re told to 

your kinks your coils your curls 

don’t settle for less 

when you deserve the world 

brown skin girls 

let’s stand together 

regardless of the weather

whether 

they hate or love us 

we will always have each other 

celebrate every day like no other 

brown skin girls 

whatever dream you might have 

push each other up 

be proud 

show them the strength we’ve had to gain 

don’t let them rain down on us again 

brown skin girl 

just like pearls 

beautiful to love 

never forget that you’re more than enough.
