Pretty Brown Skin (feat. EUGENE KIING & Mav City Gospel Choir)
de Maverick City Music
Pretty brown skin
Pretty light skin
Pretty dark skin
I see African written in you DNA
Hello choco melanin
From the motherland
With your black skin
Never should you want it any other way
First things first
I'm blackity black black
I'm blackity black black
I'm blackity black black
If you don't like that
You're wackity wack wack
You're wackity wack I say what I say
And that's that
This is for 'em queen
That's rocking 'em kinky twist
From box braids to bantu knots and full lips
'Em dreadlocks, Crochets, afros and real hips
'Em pom poms and some edges that's real slick
Now catch this
Your black presence is necessary
From big mama to Aunty Obama as First Lady are validated
I still remember my mother's gumbo
Saturday mornings waking to soulful sounds of Gospel
The richness of ancestral lagacies and culture
Our history extends beyond our American borders
So please believe the hype
You're not too much
You are enough
Never shrink back
Always speak up
Head tilted high
One fist to the sky
Don't doubt your worth
Always add tax
Know yourself first
One thing's for sure
You're made in the image of God
Shape of the melanin bob
Black woman, you'll never be stopped
Pretty brown skin
Pretty light skin
Pretty dark skin
I see African written in you DNA
Hello choco melanin
From the motherland
With your black skin
Never should you want it any other way
Second thing first
Still blackity black black
Still blackity black black
Still blackity black
It's a blessing not a curse
Don't ever forget that
Don't ever forget
If you need reminders then run this back
You so pretty for a black girl is not a compliment
Don't white wash who you are to be an option
You don't sound white
You just finished up your doctorate
Black Benz, new house
Pocket's real lucrative
That's right
Ballsy CEO
Boss chick
Killing stereotype
Switching up the narrative
Ain't no explanation needed
That's all here it is
Raising black kids with some black skins
Liberation
Educate them
Let them dream big
Adding flavour
Keeping seasoned
Give 'em reasons
To believe in what our ancestors dreamed of
You are beautiful, invaluable
Distinguishable royal
Next time you look in the mirror
Pause and say: Black girl, I love you (I love, I love)
Then repeat
One thing's for sure
You're made in the image of God
Shape of the melanin bob
Black woman, you'll never be stopped
Pretty brown skin
Pretty light skin
Pretty dark skin
I see African written in your DNA
Hello choco melanin
From the motherland
With your black skin
Never should you want it any other way
Pretty brown skin
Pretty light skin
Pretty dark skin
I see African written in your DNA
Hello choco melanin
From the motherland
With your black skin
Never should you want it any other way
Remember who you are
Remember who you are and whose you are (shooting star)
Don't forget that part (that part)
Know that you belong
Just as you are
With your pretty brown skin
