MAHOGANY PUBLIC - Chocolate Face lyrics

rate me

As a young buck I grew up tell me if you relate

In a school system where there was hardly another race

But still I shine I recognized

Nine times out of ten it was me they recognized

Even if they never saw me commit a crime

The color of my skin stands out in the mind

So now it is time to decide

How I will be perceived and recognized

As a thuggy, hustler from the gutty

When I can be more then what the world expects of me

A leader, a scholar like Frederick D

Or inspire generations like Booker T

About my heroes nobody told me

Used to think being Jamaican is what black means

Slang, prison and baggy jeans

This is the black media painted me

From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change

From the time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face

You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay

But them say

Gwan with your chocolate face

Oozee gwan with your chocolate face

Black babies that grew in the 80s

Weren't privy to the treatment my color see lately

Take the bitter with the sweet, and look for balance

The innocence of my childhood, corrupt by challenge

It should of been about going and playing

What should a 5-year-old kid know about racism?

Visible minority they made that clear

I had a chocolate face and carpet hair

Instead of making it seem like were all one race

They let you know that you're different from a very young age

From the looks you get to the names that you're called

Kids could be cruel but is their fault?

Where does this come, tell me cousin?

Why they making jokes about me being burnt in the oven?

Eventually it takes a toll on the minds of children

Who hate themselves for being different

From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change

From the time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face

You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay

But them say

Gwan with your chocolate face

Oozee gwan with your chocolate face

Il a traversé l atlantique des antilles

Abords d'un nuages magique fantastique

Vers un pays du nord de l'amerique

Venant d un petit coin de mère afrique

Il avait des rêves magnifique et des contes

Historique, mais dois vivre des études académiques

Sur sa passion qui est la musique, la musique, (Face de sexy chocolat)

Sur sa passion qui est la musique

Fréquanter des écoles, 1, 2, 3, 4, lave toi la face

1, 2, 3, 4 lave toi la face

Fréquanter des écoles, 1, 2, 3, 4, lave toi la face

1, 2, 3, 4 lave toi la face, choco, c hoco, choco

Choco, choco, éuh, éuh, choco, choco, éuh, éuh, éuh

Chocolat MAMA ÉÉÉ

Chocolat MAMA ÉÉÉ

Bomba club this is S.T.U.G.A.

From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change

From the time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face

You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay

But them say

Gwan with your chocolate face

Oozee gwan with your chocolate face

Out of all the men on earth she said she wanted to date me

But this loving that she gave me was so humiliating

She gave me everything that Jah Jah could have created

But the forces all around us did it all to prevent it

She really, really loved me when she said it she meant it

I really, really loved her and the time that we spent

But I could never buy the ring for me to take she away

'Cause daddy nah want grandchild with a chocolate face

So I said... "Yes I am a Natty Dread but the gals them love me still

All sizes and colours "but this is what he said...

"Although you might find me weird you're the coolest man I've met

But I just cannot say yes go find someone else instead! "

But what does it matter if we all bleed red?

What does it matter if we all sleep dead?

What does it matter if we all are created?

What does it matter?

From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change

The time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face

You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay

But them say

Gwan with your chocolate face

Oozee gwan with your chocolate face
