Give Me Braids With Brains

That lady without make up I want her who is beautiful when she wakes up She is natural when she shake up Her smile is none plastic her no fake up Her beauty sum up A total woman cobbled up Her without make up SHe who is beautiful when she wakes up. The one who concentrates on her books Not her looks, boots or boobs She is above average and can wash and cook She never has a private degree from a private university With private marks from High-school She is a wise lady One without make up She who is beautiful when she wakes up. Do not give me leftovers from the Hyenas Not again I am done doing vultures I am neither a lion I want not to fall for lies Give me peace One who sees beyond the powder on the face One who invests in her brains One who can forgo braids for books Give me looks and content one without make up she who is beautiful when she wakes up! Do not give me the YOLOs and WCWs Do not give me those obsessed with likes Give me like my mother a wife A woman A mother A lioness Give me braids with brains. I ask with Humility Time to seek Purity. Go for dignity.
