Dark as the midnight hour or bright as the mornin' sun Give a **** about your complexion I know what the Germans done
Sneak dissin'
Sneak me through the back window I'm a good field ***** I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you You know I'd go the distance you know I'm ten toes down Even if master listenin' cover your ears he 'bout to mention Complexion two-step
Complexion don't mean a thing it's a Zulu love
Complexion two-step
It all feels the same it's a Zulu love
Dark as the midnight hour I'm bright as the mornin' Sun Brown skinned but your blue eyes tell me your mama can't run
Sneak dissin'
Sneak me through the back window I'm a good field ***** I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you You know I'd go the distance you know I'm ten toes down Even if master's listenin' I got the world's attention So I'mma say somethin' that's vital and critical for survival Of mankind if he lyin' color should never rival Beauty is what you make it I used to be so mistaken By different shades of faces Then wit told me "You're womanless woman love the creation" It all came from God then you was my confirmation I came to where you reside And looked around to see more sights for sore eyes Let the Willie Lynch theory reverse a million times with Complexion two-step
Complexion don't mean a thing it's a Zulu love
Complexion two-step
It all feels the same it's a Zulu love
You like it I love it
You like it I love it
You like it I love it
You like it I love it
You like it I love it
You like it I love it You like it I love it
You like it I love it
Let me talk my Stu Scott 'scuse me on my 2pac Keep your head up when did you stop Love and die
Color of your skin color of your eyes
That's the real blues baby like you met Jay's baby
You blew me away you think more beauty in blue green and grey All my Solomon up north 12 years a slave 12 years of age thinkin' my shade too dark I love myself I no longer need Cupid And forcin' my dark side like a young George Lucas Light don't mean you smart bein' dark don't make you stupid And frame of mind for them bustas ain't talkin' "Woohah!" Need a paradox for the pair of dots they tutored
Like two ties L-L you lose two times
If you don't see you beautiful in your complexion It ain't complex to put it in context Find the air beneath the kite that's the context Yeah baby I'm conscious ain't no contest If you like it I love it all your earth tones been blessed
Ain't no stress jigga boos wanna be
I ain't talkin' Jay I ain't talkin' Bey I'm talkin' days we got school watchin' movie screens And spike yourself esteem The new James Bond gon' be black as me Black as brown hazelnut cinnamon black tea
And it's all beautiful to me Call your brothers magnificent call all the sisters queens We all on the same team blues and pirus no colors ain't a thing
Barefoot babies with no cares
Teenage gun toters that don't play fair should I get out the car
I don't see Compton I see something much worse The land of the landmines the hell that's on earth
