Sorry, Mama Africa

Mama,you gave us brownskin that radiates the sunrise We gave you bleached , scared and blemished skin You gave us thick beautiful hips and thighs We expose them and hide the beauty within Mama, you gave us strong kinky hair on fleek We gave you no hairlines, split ends and hair that's weak You gave us morals ,values ,marriage and respect We gave you blessers, side chicks and self neglect Mama, you taught us to nourish our children with our breast We gave you platic bottles , dummies and silicon chests You gave us custom made noses on our faces to wear We gave you surgeries, and nose rings blocking the fresh air We've turned into plastic ,Mama Our make up faces melt in the heat of summer Weve killed the art of handswash,oh no our nails will break Sorry mama, we've turned the meaning of beauty into being .........FAKE.....
