Black Man

Old stuff:

Almost white to caramel
chocolate
Bright and beautiful
Takes the attention of any room
Caramel smooth
Makes my soul ooze
Light Skinned Brotha

Caramel, red to brown
chocolate
Hershey's bar beautiful
Put on a suit fine
Sexy smile
Makes a whole room go wild
Brown Skinned Brotha

Brown to special dark
chocolate
Eyes sparkle as diamonds
Smile with a million, trillion, gazillion pearls
Commands he's known to all of all rooms
Makes our heads zoom
Dark Skinned Brotha

All shades
Beauty to behold
Precious treasures untold
Often image sold
Duplicated
Fabricated
Imitated
Emulated
Simulated
Under-stimulated
Not placed in high deserved esteem
You deserve your great regal queens
As we deserve our powerful
Nubian kings
Rise up young brotha
Accept yourself
Strive to be nothing less
Than what you are
BLACK MAN
