Mahogany Hue

Her skin was a subtle shade of olive
Maintained her posture
Mainframe on goddess smooth as milk chocolate
Make you change octaves when speaking about her
I ain't learn this kinda anatomy in college
I ain't learn this kinda poetry in a classroom
Took a first hand account to actually grasp you
I ask you black queen is your love a house still
Or do you plan on leaving out the back soon
I know you got the weight on the world on your back boo
I know it's a scar under each one of them tattoos
I know it's some heartache lying in your past too
But that's cool cause mama it's time to heal now
Brown Skin Lady my everything is you
I know you feel the pressure in everything you do
It's pressure at the workplace, pressure at the school
They tryna touch your twist out hatin on your shoes
Birthing black men so it's pressure in your womb
Cause any given day could be the one he see his tomb
So you loving brothers twice as hard these days
And the ones that you meetin act like they don't a clue
So you frustrated
The dating pool you swimming in is not filtrated
The oppression you experience is outdated
So you put your faith in your Cardis and your Yonce's
To show you some self help ways to alleviate it
I know that crown is heavy lay it on my chest
I'm just tryna temporarily take all your stress
And give you a strong foundation 'pon which to rest
And if you don't accept I wish you the best

Black woman
May your growth be exponential
Black woman
May you live to your full potential
Black woman
Know you're constantly on my mental
Black woman
Your existence is quintessential...
