Brown, The Color Of Beauty

Brown, The Color Of Beauty

1 min
60

Oh, world...can't you see?

Brown is surely the color of beauty

Although some like to think of us as the color of dirt

I like to think of us as the color of the earth

Brown is surely the color of beauty


Oh, what beauty brown woman holds

Despite what they are told

Brown women open your eyes,

Realize its not just your hips and your thighs,

And it’s not just your round behind

But it’s your brown eyes,

The love and intelligence that shine through them

And your brown skin


It must be a sin!

For us to have been

Bathed in the color of sweet chocolate,

Brown the color of beauty

Don't get me started on dark skinned men!

Where do I even begin?


The strength you hold within

Or the places you have been

The things you have overcome

Your full lips sweeter than honeycomb

Don't believe them when they tell you your dumb


Because you’re wise

Just like your father in heaven who made you

And your brown skin

Your beautiful brown skin
