Beautiful Skin

Mmm

This particular song right here is

Dedicated to the Black woman

And it doesn't pertain to all Black women

Some of y'all disrespect y'all selves '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 offering the common respect I feel I owe you

Also some conversation, companionship, common ground, and common sense

There's no such thing as coincidence

In me finding you here

And I really hate screaming in your ear

So some other time, okay?

I waited a day, hello?

This is Carlito from a couple of days ago, you sound tired

Forgive me if I've called you too late

But what better time to relate mind-state?

Where could I begin?

Has 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, living and learning are our only obligations

Equality, honesty, independence, intelligence, emotion, and devotion

Humbly seeking to hear God when he's speaking

At one time, my mind just 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 believed, young lady, you wouldn't dress that way

And I was attracted to your class, I couldn't see all your ass

And I was very content and you deserved every complement

Now, remember our indifferences make us the same, you gotta have some game

Or you ain't even gon' be able to take care of yourself, uh

And, love, when I look at you, I see my reflection

So I offer my love, affection, and protection

Shorty, you dead fine, but the bottom line is

You still my sister

Well, I say, you're my beginning, my end

You're my sister, lover, and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through 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

Yeah, I met you and y'all knew, saw you again on Marietta

Downtown Atlanta, checking your long legs, got me smirking

Fixed me dinner one night, candles lit

Kind of 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 our parents grandfolks

Household with no pork

Took care of ye, you, me

When shit 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, yeah

Well, I say, you're my beginning, my end

You're my sister, lover, and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through 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

No need to compete

With the music loud

Or stares cold

But on a scale of one to ten, you a twelve

I chose her over jail and hell

Originally from ATL

Compatible souls come together under bad weather

To discuss distrust amongst the so-called good in every woman

How I wish this was true, I deal with facts only

Already done cloned me, why I sang the blues

With there's only one God that watches over our every step

I need his 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 with the game

He caught the naïve of a girl fallin' for the okay

Let the pistol smoke the one who live by, die by

Example of how relationships can be

I rolls the dice, takin' a chance at crappin' out

Like today, boy, I lost one of my best hips

Natural thick lips, no animal fat implants

Wide load, just started workin' at the airport

Nineteen years old, worth more her weight in gold

But it was all my fault, so don't cry, I will stand

If down the line I want you back and the feelin' ain't mutual,

just promise me you'll find a human

That's 'bout some business

Hope she find what her was lookin' for, like a dream to my end

I wanted to be more than friends, beautiful Black skin

Well, I say, you're my beginning, my end

You're my sister, lover, and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through 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

Well, I say, you're my beginning, my end

You're my sister, lover, and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through 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

Yo, this a public announcement

Man, I'm so sick of seein' trash on the damn street, man

I'm sick of y'all folk comin' up out of the store, takin' your lil' candy out, throwin' the

lil' paper on the ground, man, it's ****in' up the hood

Also, man, I'm sick of y'all folks standin' around

You know, when you're talkin' to your folk or somethin', y'all drinkin' on a lil' somethin'-somethin'

You take it, you pour it out to your dead homies, but then you throw the bitch right at 'em

Man, don't shut me up, home, I'm doing what I do

I'm just sick of seeing that

All around the nation, man

We ****in' up our own hood
