This Don't Make No Sense
Location
Hi my ame is Ari, but to you I'm just a statistic
To you my qualifications don't matter
I'm just a black face walking into your white building
I already know that this white lady will get paid more than me
Even it her qualifications are lower than me
To you I can't,
To you i shouldn't is what you tell me
To me I can,
To me i will is what i tell me
You say she's fine,
But I'm not
Because her skin is light it makes her hot
This don't make no sense
I'm just as beautiful as any other girl
"Your skins too dark"
I'm just as BEAUTIFUL as any other girl
Light skins are seen as Gods and Goddesses,
But some of our greatest king and queens were the same tone as me
I'm tired of this light skin, dark skin battle
We need to come together as one black community and battle,
But thanks to the white man we still keep difference
This don't make no sense
Now let me move on to the men
We got this notion that light skins are simps,
And dark skins are hard and don't let down there guard
Does it really even matter?
We got parents bleaching their kids,
And kids wishing their color didn't give
Making them forget get to admire the pigment in their skin
This don't make no sense
We are all equally beautiful
Let's come together as one
We are all equally beautiful
Let's lift each other up
We are all equally beautiful
Remember where we came from?
We are all equally beautiful
I'm done
