Taste the sweetness of the skin I am in
    Overly intimidating to all That sees me
    The nappiest hair that I am oh so proud to wear
    The softest lips that the average man can bear
    Piercing eyes with a deathly stare
    Love me for who I am
    Instead of the skin that I am currently in
    The heart is the home yes it’s that
    No matter what is said the truth is where it’s at
    Soak me so I am tender
    Lioness of this land Untamed I am
    Undress me with your eyes
    Dress me with your words
    The state of being is much more than a verb
    I’ve seen many things and I’ve walked many miles
    The place that I am at only makes me smile
    Age I am a baby but I’ve lived so long
    I’ve seen it all mind so strong
    To love is to fall in love with yourself
    Love it, Learn it, Embrace it
    You’ll soon find out it’s much more valuable than wealth
