Black Like Me

CATEGORY

Brothers do you hate me

Because you’re black like me

And when you look in the mirror

It is me you see

 

You appear to forget

And instead reject

Your uncle’s cousin’s brother

Could be related to my mother

 

But still you insist

Those other girls are prettiest

With their long flowing hair

And skin so fair

 

What does it really mean

The fact that you want to be seen

With her on your arm

Do you think it gives you charm

 

Look at my chick, I’m flossin’

I bet all the guys say I’m awesome

Men put her on a pedestal

But I won, she’s my gold medal

 

No, it’s not my business

Who you decide to be with

You loving another race

Some say it’s a slap in my face

 

But believe me, that’s not my issue

I’m not crying at night, pulling up tissue

I too can get down with the swirl

Unlike you though, they think I’m a pearl

 

The difference between you and me

Hatin’ on you is not my duty

When I choose to go to the other side

I won’t throw shade and show you my backside

Because when I look in the mirror I love what I see

I never allowed society to dictate to me

That beauty doesn’t look like me
