Hey there light skinned
Where yo color at?
Did it run out of yo foul mouth
heavy with patois and southern drawl
turn the corner in full swagger and rest
firmly on a 40oz.?
Did it drip off the natural
Curl pattern in yo daddy’s hair
Run down the street
And snatch a purse?
Did your mother’s thin lips cut you on the ass
While you danced in the mirror to a fat ass hip hop beat?
“Yeah nigga yeah”
Did the brightness of everything you are
Bring you to this moment
Of self revolution and comfort
Teaching you about being
Everything that you are
And everything that you will become
All at the same time?
Hey light skinned
Hey
Just be you.
