Beautiful Skin

歌詞

Verse 1 [Cee-Lo] Ummm. This particular song right here is dedicated to the black woman. And this don't pertain to all black women, some of yall disrespect yallselves cause you don't know who you are in the first place. This is out of common respect for all women period. Word up. Like this song, yo. I'm quite single, and occasionally I mingle, but aside from all the rest, She sparks my interest. No ma'am I don't know you, Just offerin the common respect I feel I owe you Also, some conversation, companionship, common ground and common sense, There's no such thing as coincidence, and, me finding you here And I really hate screamin in yo' ear, so some other time, ok? I wait everyday, Hello this the caller you told from a couple of days ago, You sound tired, forgive me if I call you too late, But what better time to relate mind state? Where can 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 me Those are limitations, livin in under our only obligations Equality, honesty, independence, intelligence. Emotional, and devotional, humbly seekin to hear God when He's speakin. At one time my mind couldn't conceive, a woman had to dress a certain way to believe. But in the same breath, allow me to say, that If you believe young lady, you wouldn't dress that way, and I, Was attracted to yo' class, I couldn't see all yo' ass, and I was very content, You deserve every compliment, now, Remember our indifferences make up the same, you got to have the game, Or you ain't gone be able to take care of yourself. And love, when I look at you, I see my reflection. So I offer my love, affection, and protection. Shawty, you dead fine, but the bottom line is, You still my sister. Hook Well I said you're my beginning my end, You're my sister, lover, and friend God is your light from within It shines, from your beautiful skin. What they say bout you ain't true There's no me if there is no you I hope that you understand You got to respect yourself before I can Verse 2 [Big Gipp] I met you in Yawnew, saw you again on Marietta, downtown Atlanta, Checkin yo' long legs got me smirkin, fixed me dinner one night Candles lit, kinda thought you was slick in the beginning But it turned out you wouldn't lie, looked me in my eye I listened, sucked it up, pushed on, we made amends Both sides clicked, true friends. Since then Years done gone by, brought a baby girl into this world Made her parents grand folks, household with no pork. Took care of ye, you, me, when she got put out on the curb Closer than the skin on the back of my hand, through the thick and thin We can win, beautiful black skin. Hook Verse 3 [Khujo] No need to compete with the music loud, or StaffCo. But on the scale of 1 to 10 you a 12. I chose her over jail and hell, originally from A-T-L. [T-Mo] Compatible souls come together under bad weather To discuss distrust amongst the so-called good in every wo-man How I wish this was true, I deal with facts only, already done cloned me While I sing the blues with there's only one God that's watchin over our every step I need this help when I'm walkin, lookin for the right female, I can't tell sometimes They tell me the devil's comin humble in his approach Spontaneous quick to game, he tried to not eat, of a girl fallin for the O.K. Let the pistol smoke the one who lived by, die by, Is horror of how a relationship can be [Khujo] I rolls the dice, takin a chance, and crappin out, like today, Bun, I lost one over the best hips Natural thick lips, no animal fat implants, wide load. Just started working at the airport, 19 years old, worth more her weight in gold But it was all my fault, so don't cry, I was stained If down the line I want you back and the feelin ain't mutual, Just promise me you'll find a new man that's bout some business Hope she find what her was lookin for, like a Treat or Martin I wanted to be more than friends Beautiful Black Skin. Hook (X2) I'm runnin outta breath in here. He heh.
