I must admit, that I am

really a mess in the

morning, not just the breath

but hair all over the place maybe

a hair roller or two might have left

a trace

 

I don’t always look my

best and I really don’t go

through a lot of changes

to beautify myself like the rest

So do I still past the test

 

will you love me the best?

 

sometimes I don’t put make up

on and depending on how I feel

I just keep it real, I ain’t out

to woo you trick you into this

imaginary place where

maybeline and Cover Girl

is my secret escape a powder puff

with a cape. So do I pass the test?

 

will you love me the best?

 

You see sometimes I feel like heels

and a cute little dress, sometimes

I go out looking like I am feeling

stressed.  But when I want to be

cute “you better no I can” but you

see I don’t do any of this to get

or keep a man.  I am me and that

realness is deep within, not the

length of my hair or the cooper

cream color of my skin, so do I

past the test?

 
Will you love me the best?

 

I want you to see what I am really

made of, and it ain’t make up weave

or heels “ let me break it down”

this is the real deal.  I was told by

the old folks years ago, beauty is within

skin deep and that’s fo sho

and how you wear your heart is the secret

and tells you and others apart.

What’s in you will surely come out

like sap from an old oak tree, just

look, listen and watch you will see

. So do I pass the test?

 
Will you love me the best?

 

So if you stepping this way and

you plan on staying, you better just

know I am not pretty all the time

for the exterior that you visually see

so let me just ask you this, so do

I pass the test?

 
Will you still love me the best?
