Lyrics

[Sample from “She’s My Woman” by Archie Bell & The Drells, performed by Beau Williams]
Now I’m gonna do anything to please you baby
Cause I don’t want you to never, never, never leave me

Oh, man
Wait ‘til y’all hear this
Bruh, look

[Dee-1]
This girl said I’m too light skin
She said she don’t date light skin dudes
If I get mad, she say I’m in a light skin mood
She don’t eat cheesecake she said that’s light skin food
She say ain’t tough enough, I say “Why? Cause I’m right?”
She say “Duh, you know light skinny dudes can’t fight”
“Y’all some city boys, pretty boys [?] and
Y’all spend more time gettin’ dressed than your girlfriend”
(What?)
Okay, enough with all the light skin jokes
She callin’ me a Splash Brother in a house knit robe
I’m like “Hold up, I just had to stop you madam”
Somebody better tell this girl who the f*** I am
(Look)
Girl, what’s your problem, are you hearin’ yourself?
See, you exactly what’s wrong with our folk, allow me to help
(Look)
Racism’s bad, bad like drugs
But colorism ain’t better, queen, come give me a hug!
(It’s love)

I’m 2 dark skin, I’m 2 light skin
Forget that, let’s just party till the night end
Forget the fussin’ and the fightin’
This for the women out there looking for the right man
I’m 2 dark skin, I’m 2 light skin
Forget that, let’s just party till the night end
Forget the fussin’ and the fightin’
This for the women out there looking for the right man

Uhuh
No, no, no
I know that my black is beautiful
E..even 2Pac said
You know, man, c’mon
Look

[Murs]
The shade of my skin had her tryna throw shade
She like “You’re dark skin, dirty and you proly don’t bathe”
“Dark skins can’t dress, you ain’t got no style”
“The only way I see you in the dark is if you smile”
Call me rusty, dusty, I felt so rejected
Said “You probably unemployed with a criminal record”
“You blacker than the back of Forest Whitaker’s neck”
“You Tyrese with a tan, you gets no respect”
“My friends say you cool, but I just don’t believe ‘em”
“Why you got them tattoos when can’t nobody see ‘em?”
(Look)
I can already tell you ain’t the marrying type
Scare the right man away with all them stereotypes
My portfolio is worth a million and two
But I don’t like to flex ‘cause of women like you
And when you find out, you wish you got with me sooner
Dark skin Will Smith, the Fresh Prince of Zamunda
