Let Your Light Shine
Why do you waist your time saying that she's beautiful?
You shower her with kind words, she don't acknowledge you.
Her self destructive offspring don't care what you say,
She's black and ignorant and don't give you the time of day.
Where's her creator won't someone please let her know?
Now she's been told she's ugly and despicable.
The sun is beautiful she bathes in it's warm rays,
Been told she looks gold when it shines on her face.
WISDOM.
Let your light shine and all shades become the same.
Let your light shine and all shades become the same.
