My dark skin will always be in style

When you see me on the street

You can't help but stare

And then you dare

To ask: "Is that your real hair?"

Hell yeah

Now run along

And gather your thoughts

Cause this beauty can't be bought

"Pretty to be dark skinned..."

What the fuck does that mean?

I'll always be in style

And men love to see me smile

Natural beauty

With natural hair

With natural curves

It's superb

How dare you fix your lips

To try to criticize?

I'm a diva in dark skin

And I'd have it no other way

You beg for me to be your girl

In my life is where you want to stay?

Oh no! Please keep it moving

Are your lips still moving?

I'm the baddest bitch

Not your average bitch

You can't help but agree

Other bitches wanna be like me

So they try to spite me

But they'll never be me

Or even close to me

Nor are they worthy of me

Or my time

My chocolate silhouette

Stay blowing your mind

Contemplating

About how to get just one date and

In my mind I can't help but laugh

You gotta be kidding me

My pretty brown round

Got you fiendin' for a chance

To maybe even slow dance

Then maybe a lil' romance

But it's only fair

I must warn you my dear

Don't get too close if chocolate ain't your thing

Cause it only melts in your mouth

Not in your hands
