They looked at her like she was a mistake,
Like the night sky came too early to stay,
Whispers followed wherever she walked,
Judging her skin before hearing her talk…
Pre-Chorus
She tried to hide, she tried to fade,
Wishing she could wash her shade away…
Chorus
But she’s got skin like midnight, deep and divine,
A shade they fear but secretly admire,
They tried to break her, called her less,
But she rose stronger from every mess…
She’s not your “fairytale” light,
She’s the beauty of a stormy night,
And one day they’ll see what she’s always been—
A queen living in her own dark skin…
Verse 2
They chose the fair, they chose the bright,
Left her standing outside the light,
But scars don’t lie, they turn to gold,
In a heart that learned to stand alone…
Pre-Chorus
Now she don’t cry, she don’t bend,
She became her own best friend…
Chorus
She’s got skin like midnight, bold and rare,
A kind of beauty they can’t compare,
Every insult made her rise,
Now fire lives behind her eyes…
She’s not what the world defined,
She’s the strength they left behind,
And now she shines without asking them—
A queen proud of her melanin…
Bridge
No more hiding in the shade,
No more begging to be praised,
She’s the night, she’s the flame,
She’s rewriting all the shame…
