Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Your fire burning bright
Your light that's deep inside
Is coming out to lift the heaviness
Lurking around
Your heart shining despite
The bitterness of
Throwing out your night sky
With your canopy of stars
Black sweetness
Can you hold me tight be my witness
And see you Beauty in the water
Reflection of your grace
Black sweetness
The earth is brown
Full of richness
You have the beauty of the mother
Ever giving, ever wise
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
My mama used to bleach me
Put creams on my skin that used to itch me
And I let her cos' kids used to diss me
She grew up in an era
Where fairer was better
Thought my future be brighter
If my skin was lighter
Sifted the powder crystals
Mix it in with the cream
The ordinary with the dream
Trading melanin for new sheen
New skin wrapped in plastic celophane
They got the spell on
The same toxic routine
But I never blamed my mama
Cos how could you
She didn't know any better
Just wanted more for her daughter
Didn't put two and two together
Fairer and lovely
She wanted me to be
So she buckled under the pressure
A chemical reaction
To the mental colonization
How could skin so beautiful
Become an aberration
Invest in your confusion
Give you mixed messages
Then you hand them your self-worth
That's what the damage is
Our sense of identity
Becomes the property of entities
Their business is to make us feel
We are afterthought, parentheses
They make us feel
Like we need to be
Something more than we are
Like we are less than we are
So we keep buying their stuff
Just to feel good enough
But life puts you right in it
To help you see right through it
So keep loving and pursue it
Then let that love be reflected in the
Eyes of those looking at you
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
Let love be the mirror
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
You see your beauty shining through
Let love be the mirror
Let love be the mirror
Hitam, hitam, hitam manins
Black sweetness
Hitam, hitam, hitam manins
Hitam, hitam, hitam manins
Black sweetness
Hitam, hitam, hitam manins
Black sweetness
The earth is brown
Full of richness
You have the beauty of the mother
Ever giving, ever wise
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
Your skin is oh so beautiful
Black sweetness
It's oh so beautiful
