Chip on my shoulda[00:00:22]

Big enough to feed Cambodia[00:00:23]

See I never fit into they quotas[00:00:24]

Sneakers wasn't fittin' and my knees needed lotion[00:00:26]

Long before I knew the significance of a comb[00:00:28]

I roam like foam with no vocal reception[00:00:31]

Immigrant parents had me feeling like a step-kid[00:00:34]

And black Americans never did accept me[00:00:37]

That's why I thrive so much winnin' respect' dig[00:00:39]

I never fit in with them light skins[00:00:42]

I thought the lighter they was' the better that they life is[00:00:45]

So I resented them and they resented me[00:00:48]

Cheated on light skin Dominique' we were 17[00:00:50]

I figure I hurt her she'd evidently hurt me[00:00:53]

And all women who have light features see[00:00:56]

I never let a light broad hurt me[00:00:58]

That's why I strike first and the first cut's deep[00:01:01]

From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha[00:01:04]

Shade doesn't matter' heart makes the lover[00:01:07]

Boy you so beautiful[00:01:09]

Boy you so beautiful[00:01:11]

Shade doesn't matter' heart makes the lover[00:01:12]

Honey brown' caramel' coffee brown' chocolate' toffee' pecan' licorice[00:01:14]

Boy you so beautiful[00:01:24]

Just another knotty head nigga[00:01:26]

Hoping Wes Snipes make my life a bit different[00:01:28]

In middle school I had the right to be timid[00:01:31]

I had beautiful words but girls never listened[00:01:34]

Listen' blacker the berry' sweeter the product[00:01:36]

Well I'm fruit punch concentrate and they water[00:01:39]

Walk into my room thinking how to make moves[00:01:41]

Ain't thinking like a student' but how Ice-T do it[00:01:44]

Light dudes had the girls looking there[00:01:48]

Aw yea it's not fair[00:01:50]

The ones with the good hurr[00:01:52]

Couldn't adapt to naps I wore caps[00:01:53]

They napped and slept on me[00:01:55]

Man I hate black' skin tone[00:01:57]

I wish I could take it back or rearrange my status[00:01:59]

Maybe if I was khaki[00:02:02]

Associating light skin with classy[00:02:04]

The minstrel show' showed a me that was not me[00:02:06]

From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha[00:02:09]

Shade doesn't matter' heart makes the lover[00:02:12]

Boy you so beautiful[00:02:14]

Boy you so beautiful[00:02:16]

Shade doesn't matter' heart makes the lover[00:02:17]

Honey brown' caramel' coffee brown' chocolate' toffee' pecan' licorice[00:02:19]

Boy you so beautiful[00:02:28]

They say black is beautiful[00:02:31]

But ask them beautiful light girls if it's black they attract to usually[00:02:32]

What if Barack's skin was all black [00:02:35]

Truthfully would he be a candidate or just a black in community [00:02:38]

We as black dudes tend to lack unity[00:02:41]

And them blacker girls ain't on the tube usually[00:02:44]

Right now at 23 I ain't mad at them reds no more[00:02:46]

But for long time I had gone cold blind[00:02:50]

Full of my own insecurity[00:02:53]

It was holding me[00:02:54]

Back to reds' I ain't know how to act[00:02:56]

They would get the cold shoulder[00:02:59]

And know it was an act' a defense mechanism[00:03:00]

What I thought that I lacked (confidence)[00:03:02]

From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha[00:03:04]

Shade doesn't matter' heart makes the lover[00:03:06]

Boy you so beautiful[00:03:08]

Boy you so beautiful[00:03:10]

Shade doesn't matter' heart makes the lover[00:03:11]

Honey brown' caramel' coffee brown' chocolate' toffee' pecan' licorice[00:03:13]

Boy you so beautiful[00:03:22]
