The Beauty of a Dark Skinned Girl

Not everyone see it
Not everyone wants it

Dark skinned
Born with it
Bleach it

Looking in the mirror and sees no beauty
Look at her friend
And see her end

Won't be seen as pretty
What a pity
She cries cause she's dark
Her skin so african
So brown
So fair

She is a dark skinned girl
Her beauty conquers that of a pearl

Society claims she doesn't do it
So all they do is spit
Spit right in her face

Society says she's dark "how can she be beautiful"
And I say she is a dark skinned princess
Her beauty is priceless
Cause she has the beauty of a dark skinned girl
