I switch my hips, and drink in the glances
chance dances with fate, making my heart beat change
i can't manage to control the damage though
my aura enhanced by glow, and i'm aware that it shows
hair bouncing down the hall, guys smile my way
but i die inside under words they dont hide to say
pried at my pride my grip gives way under jeers
my self confidence non existant because of my peers
fear of rejection keeps me from showing a grin
happiness never steadfast, blown away in the wind
trying to find myself in a hall of mirrors, this dark scape
casts in everlast, i bathe and wade in heartbreak
my mother gave me a skin tone dark as the night
and i happen to hate the way my smile and eyes
cast shining contrasts to this midnight mask
this moment this might last..until i return to him
collapse in embrace look at his face and turn within
see the light of my passion for passing the glances
passing the dances with disgrace at my skin tone
this face, its home, holds back tears and fears of rejection
until i return to him, unphased by the hurt inside
his pride shining on me, he smiling at the fact
kissing away the tears and singing an apology
an apology for the world's glances, chances usually lack
the pitch of the song he sings for me, a song of beautiful black
1luv.
