Black, Blind, & Beautiful
For Lachi
I heard her voice
And saw her beauty
It was my choice
To keep digging
What I found was pleasing
Black, Blind, & Beautiful
And what came out of her mouth
Is awwwwww so soothing
Lachi, is her name
She took me on a Jazzy trip
Back to Lady Day, Ella, Eta, Nina
As a journalist I needed to create media
Let her talk
Capture the story
She speaks lyrically
Interview & getting to know her deeply
Three B’s buzzing around in my brain
Black, Blind, & Beautiful
Washing away ugliness like rain
Lachi, got me bug out
Saw her in Emeryville
Standing on top of a hill
Her songs flying on bird wings
What a thrill
She plays the piano
And I got to let the day’s tension go
Thinking about Black, Blind, & Beautiful
My goal here is nothing but respectful
Oh yeah Lachi, do some scatting
Can I mix my poetry
Dreams coming true
Poem songs all day long with you
Lachi, had to type it
You are the shit
More than Black, Blind, & Beautiful
Standing ovations leaving us satisfied & full
