Dark Skin, Light Skin
A SOCIAL COMMENTARY
BLACK IS MY SKIN
TAR BABY... SAMBO
NEGRO
SKIN DARK AS NIGHT
SO DARK WHERE THERE’S NO LIGHT
BECAUSE BLACK IS MY SKIN.
THEY CALLED ME UGLY
BECAUSE OF THE SHADE OF MY SKIN, YOU SEE
YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT DON’T BOTHER ME
BECAUSE BLACK IS MY SKIN.
CHARCOAL BLACK SKIN
DARK AS THE NIGHT SOME SAY DARK AS SIN
LOOKING BURNT BEYOND SEEN
YES, EVEN BLACK A COFFEE BEAN
THAT’S WHY BLACK IS MY SKIN.
MONKEY DARK SMUT
SO BLACK FROM YOUR HEAD TO TOES AND ALL OVER THE BUTT
TOO DARK FOR ME
MUCH TOO DARK WOULD YOU AGREE?
AND THAT’S WHY BLACK IS MY SKIN.
LET THERE BE LIGHT....
MIXED BREED, WHOP, WANNA BE WHITE
TANNED AND KISSED BY THE SUN
EVERY GUY WANTS YOU AND THE TALE OF THE TAPE BEGUN
LIGHT IS WHAT MY SKIN IS.
HALF AND HALF LIKE PUTTING IN COFFEE AS CREAM
GIVE ME A LIGHT SISTER ANYTIME A BEAUTY THAT SEEMS
FLAWLESS, FEARLESS AND JUST SO FINE
I HOPE I’M NOT OUT OF LINE
BECAUSE LIGHT IS MY SKIN.
SILKY SMOOTH BEAUTY
LONG HAIR OF BEAUTY I SEE
WITH BROWN EYES SO DIVINE
BEDROOM EYES TO SAY YOU’RE MINE,
AND LIGHT IS MY SKIN.
SHE’S BLACK WITH KINKY HAIR,
SHE’S LIGHT AND HER SKIN SO FAIR,
SHE’S BLACK AND LOUD
SHE’S LIGHT LIKE THOSE CLOUDS
AND IT’S THE SKIN I’M IN.
BLACK SKIN, DARK SKIN
LIGHT SKIN THE SKIN
I’M IN. 25 JUNE 2020
