brazen beauty


if i ain't rocking my curls and waves well i ain't bein' me and if "ain't" ain't used in every sentence well it oughta be oh best believe i'm proud of this wide nose and my full lips they fit perfectly with my full chest and voluptuous hips they tried to keep me down, you see but ain't no secret why this caged bird sings i know i'm beautiful and it keeps me strong oh they wonder how i keep it up so long i do as i please and ain't stoppin' no time soon for my brown resembles the black that outlines the endless moon i ain't wanted nothing but to be black and happy and thats all i need my skin and me wrapped tightly underneath a palm tree
