Goodie Mob - Beatiful Skin lyrics

rate me

[Cee-Lo]

Mmmm.. 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'allself

because 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

Yo, I'm quite single, and occaisionally 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 *phone rings* 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' 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, many of you

won't even 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

Chorus: Cee-Lo *singing*

Well, I say you're my, beginnin 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

[Gipp]

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

Downtown Atlanta, checkin your long legs, got me smirkin

Fixed me dinner one night, candles lit

Kinda thought you was slick in the beginnin

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 gon by

Brought a baby girl into this world, made our parents grandfolks

Household with no hope, 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

Chorus

[Khujo]

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

[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

Why I sang the blues, when 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 naive of a girl fallin for the OK

Let the pistol smoke the one you live by

Die by, examples of how relationships can be

[Khujo]

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

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 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 dreamto my end

I wanted to be more than friends

Beautiful black skin (black skin)

Chorus: repeat to end
