There are a lot of imitations, impersonations in the world
Girls apply skin lightening creams
In the hope that there will find the man of their dreams
One with a 6 pack who always gyms
Many of the women go to a lot of extremes
Under the knife she goes to have a breast enlargement
Hoping that it will surge her odds of engagement
Society has a pre conceived mentality that dark toned girls are not glamorous
Nowadays somatic augmentations have become famous
They say beauty is skin deep
But many of these girls would change their looks in a beep
Even if it costs them as much as a Jeep
Beauty is defined as per Hollywood standards
Many want to look like Hollywood actresses
They believe it will release their stresses
Many resort to theft to buy those fancy dresses
They bemoan their own local seam-stresses
Many spend their last penny
In their defence they say they do not want to look like a Jenny
Nowadays its natural beauty versus artificial beauty
The latter part is winning
I am no genie
But my wish is to see the former winning
She shies away from her complexion
Peer pressure tells her lighten your complexion
Overnight she has turned into a yellow-bone
It signals a start of a new dawn
She always wanted to be a supermodel like clone
The skin lightening craze has taken over like a Caribbean cyclone
She has so much face powder she looks like a clown
Tip toeing like she is going to break a leg, in high heels strolling into town
Unbeknown to her are consequences of lightening all she craves is the beauty crown
Fast forward years from now her skin, some shades greyish, some brown
Her skin resembles that of a person with camouflage
Her former self now seems like a distant mirage
Society shapes us to be who we are
Never be overtaken by the far-fetched fake notions of society
Dark skinned as you are do not be tempted to be yellow
Do not be fooled your skin is mellow
