Melanin

The darker the berry the sweeter the seeds

plant them because you sow what you reap.

My skin is magical you see...for I am a special kind of breed.

When I'm in the sun my melanin boils, plus heat is good for my ***** coils.

A shade darker I've just became...

From honey brown to a cocoa shade.

Time to untwist my bantu knots and free my natural fro.

The curly crown of victory as my melanin glows. I strut through the grasslands in tune with my inner goddess. My legs are thick and long, so now its time to flaunt this.

shaking my hair from left to right & pump my fist in the air.

Wish I was alive in the civil rights, but then I wouldn't be hear.

People they envy my complexion, they wish they had my perfection. But honestly you can't hate on something God gave.

Melanin queen, you reign in the lands.

Zion queen, lets do a foreign dance.

Melanin runs within my veins and pores.

Melanin I love to be, I'm wading

in the shores.
