Perfect, Dark |
While Dora exploring |
They was importing from Gorée |
And now four hunded years later |
They cut us all out the story |
And when they couldn’t ignore us |
They gave us Bishop and Barret |
But where the women with origins |
From a black colored parent? |
We got Ororo Monroe |
She kinda fly like a fairy |
But really storm ain’t enough |
I ain’t look like Halle Berry |
They got they characters tailored |
To Farrah Fawcett’s appearance |
Even when they brunettes |
They favor Tifa or Aeris |
I ain’t a nigga in Paris |
I’m just a brown girl in upstate |
Where blacks is a rare thing |
From Monday til Sunday |
Cheetara I loved her |
But she ain’t look like my mother |
So when I had to see color |
I went to view «Gullah Gullah» |
We got Sailor Moon, Mercury, Saturn, and Mars |
And not one of them burgundy colored at all |
It’s that kinda thing hurting me when I was small |
I thought I had got third degree burns all along |
Black girls wanna have a hero too |
All kids tryna get a mirror view |
Cartoons gotta represent my hue |
It got our daughters sick they want that theraflu x2 |
Do any other black kid think it’s all wrong? |
That Super Saiyan status make ‘em all blond |
Blue-eyed it odd yeah something like an oblong |
Shit got me lost like I’m gone w/out my Tomtom — ha! |
You prolly think I’m reaching |
But when I started sketching |
The first thing I could think of |
Was drawing yellow tresses |
Over pink-skinned faces |
Red cheeks, and painting |
Big tits in lace, and I’m envious of her race |
You got a black girl sketchin' out Aryans |
Based on her experience |
With various variants |
Of comic books and animes |
The shit was getting serious |
Took a step back like professors that’s Emeritus — yeah |
I finally get a smile all the bad thoughts abandoned me |
Momma taught me how to be proud like the family |
Had to wait until I saw that I’m a work of art |
I love the game but I’m the realest kind of «perfect dark» |
Black girls wanna have a hero too |
