Black Buttered Skin

Tangled in the art,

I draw fire to a picture

that hydrated from my color

Black I am, Proud I stay

Reserved for another chance

My portrait portrays strength at its weakest moment

Proud I stay, black I am

The Tough thoughts sings to the inner strength inside of me, So

My weakness is just a story broken

Black I am, Proud I stay

I inhereited a generation so wealthly

but instead I focus on how rich I am

Proud I stay, Black I am

To be a beautiful portrayl

of the black women clothed in

darked buttered skin

Black I am, Proud I stay

I am Black and I am Proud
