What was it like growing up as the only chocolate drop on the block?
In your class?
In your school?
Does your brown skin wipe off?
How long does it take to get your curls so tight?
Wish my lips were full like yours.
You can have my black skin!
You can have my nappy curls!
You can have my thick hips!
Onto college...
Will I fit in now?
You're not black, right?
Your skin is to light, lil light skinned girl.
You don't talk black enough!
You dance like a white girl.
Why do you hang with white people?
Black power, aren't you down?
Don't you want to be with your people?
Well tell me then, who are my people?
