Occupation
doin' me- full time.
what's beautiful? i've heard it said it's more than skin deep
but that can't be true; cause when you look at me
my personality ain't what you tryin to see; its my thighs my lips
my waist my hips;my body it curves it rises and dips
what's beautiful? i had a man tell me it was my mind
but do you think that turned me on when it was might time
when i wanted him to make love to me
and he turned off all the lights to avoid what he would see?
when i heard that beautiful was deep in my eyes so blue
it wasn't afrocentric beauty that appealed to you.
it was my european hand me down; my hair silky straight
and you was ready to go when i put my hair in braids
what's beautiful to me? i could say it's your body so tight
i could say it's that thing that lays it down so right
but in truth it's your voice;your touch; your hands
your beauty isn't beauty; it's just you being a man
what's beautiful? nine little letters that can affect a whole lifetime
makes you cut open your body;**** near lose your mind
turn this way and that to impress somebody else
layers of makeup so deep you havent even seen yourself
it's like a plateau that some of us don't know we've reached
it's the essence of science; in order to believe we must see
what is beautiful? it depends on who you ask
looks or attitude; money or class
and in 24 years you know what i just realized?
the only beautiful that exists is in being alive.
there is no beauty;there's no ugly; there is only what GOD made
so love every inch, every blemish- HE doesn't make mistakes.
--peace. Ms.Dy
