The roommate
Skin that absorbs the rays of a thousand suns
We fight for appreciation but really we’ve already won
With hair that defies the forces pulled down from within the earth
We have always been royalty even before birth
And she has the nerve to look at me as if I am the one who doesn’t have enough brain the think
True be told it’s only a few years before she and all her friends are extinct
Not to mention the pale faces and dull straight hair
If we were discussing, she could never compare
She would try to down me on every chance she got
But I had to remind her who I was cause I think she forgot
See, she’d gotten way too comfortable with her words written in text
And it slipped her mind that I was being kind but I had to put her in check
But not once did I step off of my throne to deal with her aggressions
I carried myself so swiftly wearing every inch of my complexion
See, she was truly jealous of this curly haired, natural black queen
And she knew that I was more beautiful than anything her white eyes had ever seen
