No matter how much make-up we wear
Chemicals or weave we put in my hair
There’s still a brown girl underneath
There somewhere
Whether curly hair…corn rolls
dreads or natural heads
I’m proud of my God given crown
Just experiencing all the beauty that abounds
But underneath a brown girl will always be found
Light skin…dark skin
Regardless of my complexion
I’m still a brown girl underneath
And the beauty shop will be the pulpit
From which many of us preach
Sermon after sermon
Cause our new growth needs perming
And oh how I love…firer engine red
The blazing dye job, I have done last week…that turns heads
I remember setting between Mama’s legs
Comb…brush and crown royal was a must
For a little brown girl who always put up a fuss
But now I’m in a rush
To get it done…with a busy life on the run
Getting an appointment with my stylist is tough
she’s always booked up
with all the other brown girls like me
that love to look pretty
Cause a fresh do…makes you feel good about you
Thou society has fried...dyed and laid us to the side
Underneath brown girls still reside
Just glorified!
The outside matching up
with the beauty on the inside
When I look in the mirror…I’m satisfied
I can wash my face
Put my wig in it’s resting place
I know I still look great
Cause there’s still a brown girl underneath
And I rest in peace
Knowing that my true beauty
Is more then skin deep
See Ya at the Beauty Shop,
Mommy Dearest
