Beautiful Skin - Goodie Mob Written by:Willie Knig Yo I'm quite single and occassionally 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 OK 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 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 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 a llow 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 yo' a** 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 gonna 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 Shawty you dead fine but the bottom line is You're still my sister Well I say you're my beginning my end You're my sista 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 Kinda a thought you was slick in the beginning But it teurned 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 gon by Brought a baby girl into this world made our parents grandfolks Household with no hope took care of ye you me When sh*t 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 Well I say you're my beginning my end You're my sista 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 stairs cold put 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 wo man how I wish this was true I deal with facts only already done cloned me Why I sang the blues when there's only one god That watches over our every step I need his help When I'm walking looking for the right female I can't tell sometimes They tell me the devil's coming humble in his approach Spontaneous with the game He caught the naive of a girl Atlantag for the OK Let the pistol smoke the one you live by Die by examples of how relationships can be I rolls the dice takin a chance at crapping out Like today boy I lost one of my best hips Natural thick lips no animal fat implants Wide load just started working at the airport 19 years old worth more than her weight in gold But it was all my fault so don't cry understand If down the line I want you back and the feeling ain't mutual Just promise me you'll find a new man that's bout some business Hope she find what her was looking for like a dreamto my end I wanted to be more than friends Beautiful black skin black skin Well I say you're my beginning my end You're my sista lover and friend God is your light from within It shines through your beautiful skin What they say bout you ain't true
