Everybody loves coffee It became Miguel's song But everyone needs a whole lotta milk in it They can't handle it strong When I say strong I mean black Black has a very wide range Everyone loves the light end of the spectrum And I find that quite strange Tanned and caramel are popular They are exotic and **** But chocolate is not attractive Apparently dark is ugly Being dark-skinned is looked down upon As if it is a deadly sin Many many beautiful women Feel the need to bleach their skin Many men have a light preference Some women reject melanin in chocolate genes And it is these same people That do not know how to treat kings and queens   Dark people hate how they look Because no one gives them a reason not to They should be taught to love themselves There is undeniable beauty in African roots They have hair like fluffy cotton candy Those with the skin of midnight They do not need makeup For they have a natural highlight Their wide noses are cuter than buttons And they glisten just when they sweat If you are lucky enough to kiss their thick lips You will surely never forget No one is shaming other skin tones The point is that dark skin is gorgeous too Every single person is beautiful So don't make coffee turn blue There should not have been a need For this poem to be written Because at the end of the day Beauty shouldn't correlate with the color of your skin

Everybody loves coffee It became Miguel's song But everyone needs a whole lotta milk in it They can't handle it strong When I say strong I mean black Black has a very wide range Everyone loves the light end of the spectrum And I find that quite strange Tanned and caramel are popular They are exotic and **** But chocolate is not attractive Apparently dark is ugly Being dark-skinned is looked down upon As if it is a deadly sin Many many beautiful women Feel the need to bleach their skin Many men have a light preference Some women reject melanin in chocolate genes And it is these same people That do not know how to treat kings and queens   Dark people hate how they look Because no one gives them a reason not to They should be taught to love themselves There is undeniable beauty in African roots They have hair like fluffy cotton candy Those with the skin of midnight They do not need makeup For they have a natural highlight Their wide noses are cuter than buttons And they glisten just when they sweat If you are lucky enough to kiss their thick lips You will surely never forget No one is shaming other skin tones The point is that dark skin is gorgeous too Every single person is beautiful So don't make coffee turn blue There should not have been a need For this poem to be written Because at the end of the day Beauty shouldn't correlate with the color of your skin
