Ms. Melani is a spoken word and R&B Soul fusion song. The music is mid tempo with flirtatious but inspirational lyrics to women who have been teased or put down because of their complexion and disappointed due to guys not knowing how to treat them. Poet Kamal Imani tells them to keep their heads up and put their fist up! This is a anthem for the ladies!

Ms. Melanin!
Black like Alec Wek
Exotic like Grace Jones
Ethereal like African Ancestral Slave Bones
Like Maat on her throne
When you was little they used to laugh at your skin tone
But I begged their pardons and scooped you up like chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins
So Imp fortunate to have you girl
And I love to come into your black world
Your black hole of soul
To ascend with you to heaven is my ultimate goal
I love the way we unfold through life
The way in the midst of hell
You create a paradise
They all said you was mean, but I knew Id fine the nice
Brown sugar and jerk spice
You my dumplings on my beans and rice
For you Ill make that sacrifice
Lets chill
Lets settle down
We don’t have to go mainstream we can keep it underground
Its up to you
You’re my heaven
I love you
Ms. Melanin!
You’re my buga bu
My champion without competition
Victorious without an opponent
You’re the top muse on the catwalk that I come out for my standing ovation too
You’re the president of my corporation the queen of my projects
The sister soldier of sex
You’re my wifey like next
You’re my ideal
For you Ill keep it real
Ill be your baby face cause you got that whip appeal
You’re my sugarpuss
My honeysuckle
My gingerspice
My hot sauce on those beans and rice
You’re my first love cause I forgot all the rest
You’re my lady and my babysister you’re the best
You’re my staunch defender, you always got my back
And baby you got back!
You taste like beef ribs
You taste like beef ribs with hot sauce
And you paid the cost to be the boss
But well share this throne
I love the way you make my shower sing and my bed moan
And you don’t have to worry
Ill never leave you alone
You’re my best friend to the end
I love you!
Ms.Melanin
