Bright skin

Light skin

Why are you lightening?

Your nice skin



Why are sisters so concerned with their appearance?

Do they think they’re so dark that the darkness wont come near them



Why are they lightening more than their teeth

Is it for TV or for curing disease



Sister are you whitening down for the black men

Or do you just want more high-class white friends



Must you defile your temple for show now

For all your chemicals, like a perm thelight hypemaygrow out



For you are a beacon of hope for the future

But your unnatural huedoes nothing for you



So bathe in the beauty of your hazelnut splendour

They say the juice is sweeter the darker the berry



Bright skin

Light skin

Why are you lightening?

Your nice skin



Nothing wrong with your Nubian queens brothers

Rejecting your own is like a blasphemy of culture

That’s why nuff sisters are in uproar



Unno pick up dem gyal like yu name a summer breeze

Unno to fool yu might get lef with a STD

Or maintenance payments for a baby



Or even deported back a yard

I wouldn’t want a failed marriage and a visa on my score card



Oh lord oh lord how can we stop this

Probably by making real black women available in higher quantities



Afro or shaven craniums make the billboard

That image is so played out even the Ku Klux Klan want it outlawed



We have a lot to be thankful for from talents to the strength within

So while you abide in the image of God there is no reason

To lighten your skin



Bright skin

Light skin

Why are you lightening?

Your nice skin








Reality is limited but the Imagination is limitless - Jean Baudrillard
