[ 7. 3. 15 ]
now listen to me, honey, not trying to break any hearts
but you really should reconsider your smarts
if you think this is all for your gaze,
i do this for myself cuz i love all the ways
i can reinvent my physical glory,
let my face reveal a new story
a secret, i can be sweet as sugar, sexy as sin
my face reflects the complex woman within
my face is a temple, my body a bronze empire
forged from years and years of fire
it all started with a good foundation
this pretty face could birth a nation,
my flawless cocoa skin's so smooth
my melanin radiates vitality and everlasting youth.
thick or thin eyebrows, whichever the fuck
i can do it all with either a pencil or a pluck
black wings that soar off the corners of my eyes
only enhance my ability to mesmerize,
wrap you up in a brain-consuming fascination
before we even have deep conversation
this makeup shit ain't an act of hocus pocus
cuz even with a bare face, i'd still have your focus
i know you'd still be thinking of my lips around your - ahem
but a little color on them always does the trick
i love my lipstick, red as the blood i bleed
swipe it on quick and i succeed
in snatching edges, stopping ya heart
(damn, my face is a work of art)
