Pretty Packages

It's been a long time comin',

and a whole lotta strugglin',

this sun-soaked soul finally lovin',

this wrapping paper

I'm in.

It's been a long time comin',

through hatred's lies tunnelin',

this earthy hue finally lovin',

this wrapping paper

I'm in.

It's been a long time comin',

and generations of strugglin',

this melanin finally lovin',

this wrapping paper

I'm in.

It's been a long time comin',

memories of fertile soil hauntin',

this Nile blossom finally lovin',

this wrapping paper

I'm in.

It's been a long time comin',

her reflection, she's studyin',

a bronzed goddess, finally lovin',

this pretty paper

she's in.
