I am a dreamer
That’s who I’m meant to be
And yet its hard, I’ll go ahead
and introduce you to the woman In the mirror
The one I love to see
She’s got long red locks
Eyes shifty grey
She’s got that glowing brown skin,
The type for which the pale girls pay
Her second home aside from home
I’m talking spotlights and the stage
There’s nowhere else she’d rather be
She’s got no reason to be afraid.
I am a dreamer
There’s some other folks for you to meet
She’s the summation of the trenches
A hood chick, rapper prodigy
Think Lil’ Kim in her prime
Everybody’s fantasy
She’s dripped out, glowing
With that Roxbury vibrancy
There’s one last girl for y’all to meet
Her name is Peaches
But she ain’t sweet
Her boyfriend’s name be June
And everyday he’s in the streets
She got a side dude named Clyde
He plays basketball on the side
In him, her darkest secrets
She confides
And ooh that boy be fine!
At least once a week I’ll wonder
Stare in the bathroom mirror
Ponder
I see a pretty girl with long braids
Skinny frame
Lash extensions
Makeup caked face
Jewelry, good taste
She’s fly
But I can’t help but wonder.
I wonder when will my reflection be
Exactly who I am
Inside
