Alejandro "Sosa" Tello - Perfect, Dark lyrics

[Verse 1] While Dora exploring They was importing from Gorée And now four hunded years later They cut us all out the story And when they couldn't ignore us They gave us Bishop and Barret But where the women with origins From a black colored parent? We got Ororo Monroe She kinda fly like a fairy But really storm ain't enough I ain't look like Halle Berry They got they characters tailored To Farrah Fawcett's appearance Even when they brunettes They favor Tifa or Aeris I ain't a n***a in Paris I'm just a brown girl in upstate Where blacks is a rare thing From Monday til Sunday Cheetara I loved her But she ain't look like my mother So when I had to see color I went to view "Gullah Gullah" We got Sailor Moon, Mercury, Saturn, and Mars And not one of them burgundy colored at all It's that kinda thing hurting me when I was small I thought I had got third degree burns all along [Hook] Black girls wanna have a hero too All kids tryna get a mirror view Cartoons gotta represent my hue It got our daughters sick they want that theraflu x2 [Verse 2] Do any other black kid think it's all wrong? That Super Saiyan status make ‘em all blond Blue-eyed it odd yeah something like an oblong sh** got me lost like I'm gone w/out my Tomtom - ha! You prolly think I'm reaching But when I started sketching The first thing I could think of Was drawing yellow tresses Over pink-skinned faces Red cheeks, and painting Big tits in lace, and I'm envious of her race You got a black girl sketchin' out Aryans Based on her experience With various variants Of comic books and animes The sh** was getting serious Took a step back like professors that's Emeritus - yeah I finally get a smile all the bad thoughts abandoned me Momma taught me how to be proud like the family Had to wait until I saw that I'm a work of art I love the game but I'm the realest kind of "perfect dark" Black girls wanna have a hero too
