Ebony pearls set in chocolate skin
Third eye open
Lauryn Hill lips
Afro-centric
Black woman
Your stride holds pride
Hips thin or wide
I dig your Powerful presence
Black woman
Embracing the motivation of your image
Not intimidated but situated just living
Day to day
I watch how you progress
Black woman
Your smile offsets what
They say is darkness
But
what I see are deep roots
Ain't no doubt you a blessing
Black woman
The most educated
Dedicated
The least respected
I don't know how we accept this
Black woman
I want to keep you safe
Your heart warm and your mind sane
Don't pay hate no mind
At Your own expense
Black woman
if ever I falter
you leave me at a loss of love
I never said I know best
Black woman
You take away my ego
See me for me
So
I'm in love with that soul in your chest
Black woman
Your hair reaches like branches
Your feet stay grounded
Your the past and the future
The blueprint
You have no contest
Black woman
