Why are you bleachin your skin?
Why are you bleachin your skin?
Why?
You’re beautiful….your melanin poppin
Who told you you’re ugly?
Cos I don’t see anythin wrong…
Black is beautiful…
White supremacy is envy of dark skin…
They will always be deeply envy of
Ebony….it’s why they buy too many
Supplies and surgeries to look like
You….it’s an uncomfortable compliment
Cos they wore your soul like a Halloween
Costume…they put their credit upon your culture..
You see, white supremacy has programmed
you to be white….they want you to switch places….
So they encourage you to hate black….to hate
Yourself, to hate your own race….
Racism has created a cream to get rid of
Your melanin, to cause your magic to diminish….
They sell it at stores, some places banned it…
Yet it’s not just the product,
It’s the whole psychological bleachin
That came to life
Ever since the day when colonizers told
Indigenous black people what to do…
That day when the abuse and neglect became
Trauma creepin through their bones…
I can name it mental bleachin…
Cos they brainwashed that minds and hearts…
The African well beings has been this whiteness
For too long, it’s still sick…..
You have seen melaninated people defendin a
White man constantly
They’ve fallen in love with his people over and over
Knowin their brains still think racism doesn’t exist
Or racism is dead….
Black minds
Black skins
Keep drownin in the grains of falsehoods
That are so white….
and most are wakin up to the fact
That white ain’t superior….
It’s a construct….
It’s a created system to oppress black people
While white people have their entitlement
Which is dumb by the way…
When I see you
No bleachin
Your radiant skin captures the sun…
Somehow you decide that you wanna bleach your
Skin, your gorgeous dark skin..
I would disagree…
I would disagree with your colorism…
Cos dominant society told you to
Disgrace yourself…
To stereotype your own people
You know black community has been
Brainwashed, too….
They never created rules of beauty standards…
It’s the white massas who created construction
And ideologies of white is the best
So light skin gets the privilege
While dark skin gets nothin…
It’s passed down to families after families…
I mean look at history,
Look at the mentality,
And you wonder why
There are so much bullyin…
This is why lovin and honorin
Your blackness
Your melanin
Is so important…
Lovin yourself is important…
You don’t need to bleach your skin
To be light
To be whiter…
and why would you wanna be like
Europeans?
They don’t know what soap is…
Plus they plagiarize
Still you wanna be like them….
Hey it’s not my business
To tell you what to do with your body
With your life
I’m just sayin
You truly are beautiful
Without the bull shit…
If you believe in god
He would be disappointed
If you’re not grateful for what he’s given you…
I mean hello
You’re the original…
Everybody is just another copy of you
I don’t think you realize that…
This serene beauty in you…
Why are you bleachin your skin?
Cos you got so much self hatred
That carries within your bones…
