To love a black woman
You must love her makeup off
Pores and fears exposed
Belly soft / Ugly belly cry
Hair bonnet / Wig floored
Back bowed tired of
Strength and courage
Drunk with so much wisdom
Decisions are hard
Woman is hard to love
Even as a woman
If you just love
Attitude and soul food
Breasts and booty cheeks
You dollar store cheapen everything it means
To love a black woman
