So You Say

so you say 

we all look alike 

Is that what you really see 

take a closer look at me 

you can distinguish

red , white and blue

the various shades of my complexion

Is difficult for you 

different lengths and textures 

of our hair 

from the thinnest to the fullness 

of our luscious lips 

and the shapes of nostrils we wear 

from the trends of fashion 

our Nubian Queens structured hips 

strolling gallantly with a twist 

Brawny Kings of masculinity 

with eye popping veins 

all way down to the wrist 

wrinkle free skin 

with a variety of natural earth tones 

with the glide in our backbone 

rise and fall of our cheek bones

the substance in our hormones 

that makes us headstrong 

from now with all that you can see 

you've been sadly mistaken 

 all of the time beforehand 

you had it all wrong I believe
