Mmm 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'all self |
|
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 |
|
I'm quite single and occasionally I mingle |
|
But aside from all the rest, she sparks my interest |
|
No, ma'am, I don't know you |
|
Just offerin' 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 screamin' in your ear, so some other time, okay? |
|
I waited a day, "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, livin' and learnin' are our only obligations |
|
Equality, honesty, independence, intelligence, emotion and devotion |
|
Humbly seekin' to hear God when he's speakin' |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 gone by |
|
Brought a baby girl into this world, made our parents grand folks |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 A.T.L. |
|
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 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 okay |
|
Let the pistol smoke the one who live by |
|
Die by, examples of how relationships can be |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
