Goodie Mob F Sleepy Brown - Beatiful Skin Lyrics
[cee-lo]Mmmm.. this particular song right here is..Dedicated to the black womanAnd it doesn't pertain to all black womenBecause some of y'all disrespect y'allselfBecause you don't know who you are in the first placeThis is out of common respect, for all women periodWord up, like this song, yoYo, i'm quite single, and occaisionally i mingleBut aside from all the rest, she sparks my interestNo, ma'am, i don't know youJust offering the common respect i feel i owe youAlso, some conversation, companionship, common-ground and common-senseThere's no such thing as coincidence in, me finding you hereAnd i really hate screaming in your ear, so some other time, ok?I waited a day *phone rings* hello?This is carlito from a couple of days ago, you sound tiredForgive me if i've called you too lateBut what better time to relate mind-state? where could i begin?Hasn't anyone ever told you you got beautiful skin?You're more than welcome, what do you desire within?I just, wanna be, there's no need to put titles on you and meThose are limitations, living and learning are our only obligationsEquality, honesty, independence, intelligence, emotion and devotionHumbly seeking to hear god when he's speakingAt one time, my mind, just, couldn't conceiveA woman had to dress a certain way to believeBut, in the same breath, a-llow me to sayThat, if you believed young lady, you wouldn't dress that wayAnd i, was attracted to your class, i couldn't see all yo' assAnd, i was very content, and you deserved every complementNow, remember our indifferences make us the sameYou gotta have some game, or, many of youWon't even be able to take care of yourself, uhAnd love, when i look at you, i see my reflectionSo i offer my love, affection and protectionShawty, you dead fine, but the bottom-line isYou're still my sisterChorus: cee-lo *singing*Well, i say you're my, beginnin my endYou're my sista lover and friendGod is, your light from withinIt shines through your beautiful skinWhat they, say bout you ain't trueThere's no me if there is no youI hope, that you understandYou got to respect yourself before i can[gipp]Yeah, i met you and y'all knew, saw you again on mariettaDowntown atlanta, checkin your long legs, got me smirkinFixed me dinner one night, candles litKinda ahought you was slick in the beginninBut it teurned out you wouldn't lieLooked me in my eye, i listenedSucked it up, pushed on, we made amends, both sides clickedTrue friends, since then, years done gon byBrought a baby girl into this world, made our parents grandfolksHousehold with no hope, took care of ye, you meWhen shit got put out on the curbCloser than the skin on the back of my handThrough the thick and thin, we can winBeautiful black skinChorus[khujo]No need to compete, with the music loudOr stairs cold, put on a scale, of one to ten, you a twelveI chose, her over jail and hellOriginally from atl[t-mo]Compatible souls come together, under bad weatherTo discuss distrust amongst the so-calledGood in every wo-man, how i wish this was trueI deal with facts only, already done cloned meWhy i sang the blues, when there's only one godThat watches over our every step, i need his helpWhen i'm walkin, lookin for the right femaleI can't tell sometimesThey tell me the devil's comin humble in his approachSpontaneous with the gameHe caught the naive of a girl fallin for the okLet the pistol smoke the one you live byDie by, examples of how relationships can be[khujo]I rolls the dice, takin a chance at crappin outLike today boy, i lost one of my best hipsNatural thick lips, no animal fat implantsWide load, just started workin at the airport19 years old, worth more than her weight in goldBut it was all my fault, so don't cry, understandIf down the line i want you back and the feelin ain't mutualJust promise me you'll find a new man -- that's bout some businessHope she find what her was lookin for, like a dreamto my endI wanted to be more than friendsBeautiful black skin (black skin)Chorus: repeat to end
