Beautiful Skin - Goodie Mob[00:00:00]
This particular song right here is[00:00:02]
Dedicated to the black woman[00:00:06]
And it doesn't pertain to all black women[00:00:10]
Some of y'all disrespect y'allself[00:00:13]
Because you don't know who you are in the first place[00:00:15]
This is out of common respect for all women period[00:00:17]
Word up like this song[00:00:21]
Yo I'm quite single and occaisionally I mingle[00:00:23]
But aside from all the rest she sparks my interest[00:00:27]
No ma'am I don't know you[00:00:30]
Just offering the common respect I feel I owe you[00:00:32]
Also some conversation companionship[00:00:35]
Common-ground and common-sense[00:00:37]
There's no such thing as coincidence in me finding you here[00:00:39]
And I really hate screaming in your ear so some other time ok [00:00:42]
I waited a day hello this the caller you told from a couple of days ago[00:00:46]
You sound tired forgive me if I call you too late[00:00:51]
But what better time to relate mind-state Where could I begin [00:00:53]
Hasn't anyone ever told you you got beautiful skin [00:00:56]
You're more than welcome what do you desire within [00:00:58]
I just wanna be there's no need to put titles on you and me[00:01:00]
Those are limitations living and learning are our only obligations[00:01:03]
Equality honesty independence intelligence emotion and devotion[00:01:06]
Humbly seeking to hear God when he's speaking[00:01:11]
At one time my mind just couldn't conceive[00:01:13]
A woman had to dress a certain way to believe[00:01:15]
But in the same breath allow me to say[00:01:18]
That if you believed young lady you wouldn't dress that way[00:01:21]
And I was attracted to your class I couldn't see all yo' ass[00:01:25]
And I was very content you deserved every complement[00:01:28]
Now remember our indifferences make us the same[00:01:30]
You gotta have some game or many of you[00:01:33]
Won't even be able to take care of yourself uh[00:01:35]
And love when I look at you I see my reflection[00:01:37]
So I offer my love affection and protection[00:01:39]
Shawty you dead fine but the bottom-line is you're still my sister[00:01:43]
Well I say you're my beginnin' my end[00:01:49]
You're my sista lover and friend[00:01:52]
God is your light from within[00:01:55]
It shines through your beautiful skin[00:01:58]
What they say 'bout you ain't true[00:02:01]
There's no me if there is no you[00:02:04]
I hope that you understand[00:02:07]
You got to respect yourself before I can[00:02:11]
Yeah I met you and y'all knew saw you again on Marietta[00:02:14]
Downtown Atlanta checkin' your long legs got me smirkin'[00:02:17]
Fixed me dinner one night candles lit[00:02:20]
Kinda thought you was slick in the beginnin'[00:02:22]
But it turned out you wouldn't lie[00:02:24]
Looked me in my eye I listened[00:02:26]
Sucked it up pushed on we made amends both sides clicked[00:02:28]
True friends since then years done gone by[00:02:32]
Brought a baby girl into this world made our parents grandfolks[00:02:35]
Household with no hope took care of ye you me[00:02:38]
When shit got put out on the curb[00:02:43]
Closer than the skin on the back of my hand[00:02:45]
Through the thick and thin we can win[00:02:47]
Beautiful black skin[00:02:49]
Well I say you're my beginnin' my end[00:02:50]
You're my sista lover and friend[00:02:53]
God is your light from within[00:02:56]
It shines through your beautiful skin[00:02:58]
What they say 'bout you ain't true[00:03:02]
There's no me if there is no you[00:03:05]
I hope that you understand[00:03:08]
You got to respect yourself before I can[00:03:10]
No need to compete with the music loud[00:03:15]
Or stairs cold put on a scale of one to ten you a twelve[00:03:18]
I chose her over jail and hell[00:03:22]
Originally from ATL[00:03:25]
Compatible souls come together under bad weather[00:03:27]
To discuss distrust amongst the so-called[00:03:30]
Good in every woman how I wish this was true[00:03:33]
I deal with facts only already done cloned me[00:03:36]
Why I sang the blues when there's only one God[00:03:39]
That watches over our every step I need his help[00:03:42]
When I'm walkin' lookin' for the right female I can't tell sometimes[00:03:46]
They tell me the devil's comin' humble in his approach[00:03:49]
Spontaneous with the game[00:03:53]
He caught the naive of a girl fallin' for the ok[00:03:55]
Let the pistol smoke the one you live by[00:03:58]
Die by examples of how relationships can be[00:04:00]
I rolls the dice takin' a chance at crappin' out[00:04:03]
Like today boy I lost one of my best hips[00:04:07]
Natural thick lips no animal fat implants[00:04:10]
Wide load just started workin' at the airport[00:04:12]
19 years old worth more than her weight in gold[00:04:15]
But it was all my fault so don't cry understand[00:04:19]
If down the line I want you back and the feelin' ain't mutual[00:04:22]
Just promise me you'll find a new man that's 'bout some business[00:04:25]
Hope she find what her was lookin' for like a dream to my end[00:04:30]
I wanted to be more than friends[00:04:34]
Beautiful black skin[00:04:35]
Well I say you're my beginnin' my end[00:04:38]
You're my sista lover and friend[00:04:43]
God is your light from within[00:04:46]
It shines through your beautiful skin[00:04:49]
What they say 'bout you ain't true[00:04:52]
There's no me if there is no you[00:04:55]
I hope that you understand[00:04:58]
You got to respect yourself before I can[00:05:01]
Well I say you're my beginnin' my end[00:05:04]
You're my sista lover and friend[00:05:07]
God is your light from within[00:05:09]
It shines through your beautiful skin[00:05:14]
What they say 'bout you ain't true[00:05:16]
Theres no me if there is no you[00:05:20]
I hope that you understand[00:05:23]
You got to respect yourself before I can[00:05:25]
