Say Less

Keep caramel hope in your sweet heart Let it guide you despite days so dark The Statue of Liberty may shed a tear But we shall not be moved from here Salty smiles vile white wicked words Try to knock down what you heard Content of chocolate character on display Never mind the hate be you you’re great If you weren’t why would they try So hard to discourage with lemon lie There is no point in beating dead horse The ancestors anointed you of course Your skin is a blend of all who were denied Say less licorice lips and more ebony eyes
