Beautiful Black Queen

My Beautiful Black Queen
Every black mans recited scene
Yet he loves the color of the fence in the American dream

What will they say
What will they think
If I bring home a girl with a little kink
With a little sass
With a little twist
Full lips and wide hips?


A younger version of my mama is my public platform plea
While my manly hunt for the opposite is my hidden reality
TV and History spells out what beauty should be, so like a slave my actions are loud and my convictions a whisper as I declare the innocence of illiteracy when I really can read.

Choosy brothers choose Jiff
Oh wait its brown....
so I declare Im not hungry while eating bread with no edges tryna force it down

Im not appalled that its me you dont see in the mirrors reflection of beauty
Its when your words call me beautiful but your heart doesnt really desire me
Dont get on stage with your "Beautiful Black Queens"
But Im not invited backstage because of my dark skin


You see my worth
Understand my strength
But to raise a family with me is not your delighted picketed fence


Imagine an abuser declaring his love
A liar resounding boldly the truth be told
A cheater publishing books about faithfulness
A thief driving a Brinks truck
A soldier with no inner fight or battle gear
An activist declaring equal rights for everyone but queers
A heterosexual kissing their own kind
A police with delinquent drunk driving fines


Take your vows, make your pleas
Just let them be the words you live by and not a rehearsed elegy

No longer will I be your 'cute for a black girl' exception
When I know that I am an honest mans preference
