Here is a sample from Color:

My chestnut colored skin

Doesn't show the love my heart has within

My long black dreads, the brilliance and thoughts in my head

I am a queen, that's exactly what that means

There's nothing you can say

God made me this way

Because I'm quiet doesn't mean

This little voice is not powerful enough to start a riot

My walk, my eyes, the thickness in my thighs

Don't underestimate me because you'll be surprised...
