Black and Beautiful

Black is my state of mind So I thank you Lord for making me black Even in this world who don't see me The way that you see me And they try so hard to hold me back Lord I still thank you I thank you for My thick lips, broad nose, and kinky hair I thank you for the swag that you have giving me And how it shows in the clothes that I wear I think it's kind of cool when the haters stop and stare I thank you Lord for creating black woman Mainly sister big bones Who've made plus size so sexy With her thick hips, brown eyes, and cheeks so high The her smile will light up the sky Thank you heavenly father For allowing me to be labeled by some but loved by many Because we come in some many different shade So I guess that make us good and plenty Dear Lord from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you For making me the way that I am So Black, and Beautiful!
