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.....
