Lyrics
Have you ever considered?
The girl in the field
Gathering crops for her siblings
Alone not by choice
Rather by force
She hates her skin
Wondering why she has to suffer?
She gets hurt not by strangers
But by those she knows
She considered
Laying her beauty skin down
For a better life with the stranger
The stranger treated her well
While her own kind use and abuse her
Everything she does is for her siblings
Have you ever considered?
One day she would be in the strange land
Being treated well by the stranger
Who loves and calls her ‘My Beauty Queen’
The hate of her skin was only because
Those she knew treated the other skins
Better than her but today she’s treated
Like a Queen!
She never knew in a million years,
She will be ready for this moment
The moment when she became her dream
That girl on the field is now the Queen,
Oo what a joy,
To watch the other skins applause for her,
As she walks to the stage to deliver the long waited speech
There she was alone physically, yet spoken for,
He fills her mouth every time she opens to speak
When she spoke, the silence sounded so loud
The clicks of the cameras were faintly heard.
She smiled and smiled…
The other skins applaud as she ended the speech,
Left, right, she walks swinging her phenomenal hips side to side
She walks in elegance showing her lovely legs and high heels…
Ooo what a joy to be her,
Ooo what a joy to be a woman,
Ooo what a joy to be……
An black woman in this world…
Have you considered being my skin and walk a mile?
