Goodenough Mashego Dark Child (to all my Chocolate
Sistas) Lyrics:
dark child
(for my chocolate sistas)

they say them light skin chick's kinda good looking
bury in rubble of self-hate biko's point of viewing
dark-child born black blessed with diamond eyes
coffee coloured ghetto angel stays elusive like evil
through the eyes of the beholder I tend to see what I want
in the dark I feel cleavage smell the scent of a woman

"they say 'the blacker the berry/ the sweeter the juice'"
he says "the darker the skin means the deeper the wound"
cynicism to chrome caramel never seen it lacerated
love everything unspoiled so I do an espresso
convince myself I'm biting choc when I sink my tongue
said I adore dark spots often mirror my demeanor

dark-child in a catalogue world of mtv base
where silicone politics of tone determine the taste
never your rap video type or your pull out poster
your brown sugar never fails product of a honeycomb
dark-child in a world unkind to virgin syrup
where barbie doll sees her death cuz she affirms your depth

they say beauty lies in the eyes of beholder
he says "beholder's perception of beauty is tainted"
since oluchi & alek wek are tokens of afro-optimism
when the lights are dim that's when the truth surfaces
if I cut you with a razor will we bleed the same?
if they made me cry now will I see your tears too?

in loving memory of all my soldieresses
dark sistas who never made it + those still living
in a world full of judgment & concealed attitudes
might call you candy, chocolate skin, brown sugar like nefertifi
maybe wake up one morning adore like vanilla ice cream
or I can chill in the dark & simply call you by your name
in the beginning he created - & she looked like you
-ends-
