about

I grew up in a small town where people with lighter skin always seemed the most loved. I learned to hate my skin as a kid, so much that I would cry to myself and ask God "why did you make me this ugly color everyone hates?"

My family always told me I was beautiful but it wasn't until I started to do my own research about my ancestry that I started to realize the greatness within me. Long story short, I love who I am now and who I'm becoming. I hope you love yourself too. There is greatness within all of us.

lyrics

I’m sexy with my cellulite
Even though I’m tryna get it tight
Waist beads the curb my appetite
Got em’ lookin lookin looking
like they wanna bite

I got I got
what they want
even if they act like
They don’t wanna fuck
With my type

That's alright that's alright yeah
That's alright that's alright yeah
I'm vibin' higher with the sun yeah
That's alright that's alright yeah
I got that melanin Pride

That's alright that's alright yeah
I'm vibin' higher with the sun yeah
That's alright that's alright yeah
I got that melanin Pride

Didn’t happen overnight
Fell under mainstream standard beauty types
Wanted my skin to be be like
The white page that my ink pen writes

Bright eyes straight body type
Even though that wasn’t my natural tribe
Bright eyes straight body type
I love my curves now
gotta love yourself

I got I got
what they want
even if they act like
They don’t wanna fuck
With my type

That's alright that's alright yeah
That's alright that's alright yeah
I'm vibin' higher with the sun yeah
That's alright that's alright yeah
I got that melanin Pride

That's alright that's alright yeah
I'm vibin' higher with the sun yeah
That's alright that's alright yeah
I got that melanin Pride
