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 or bright as the mornin' sun
Give a $#&@ about your complexion, I know what the Germans done
Sneak (dissinâ??)

Sneak me through the back window, Iâ??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

[Hook]


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, Iâ??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...


[Hook]

You like it, I love it

You like it, I love it

[Rapsody:]

Let me talk my Stu Scott, â??scuse me on my 2pac
Keep your head up, when did you stop? Love and die
Color of your skin, color of your eyes

Thatâ??s the real blues, baby, like you met Jayâ??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, thinkinâ?? my shade too dark
I love myself, I no longer need Cupid
And forcinâ?? my dark side like a young George Lucas

Light donâ??t mean you smart, beinâ?? dark donâ??t make you stupid
And frame of mind for them bustas, ainâ??t talkinâ?? â??Woohah!â?
Need a paradox for the pair of dots they tutored

Like two ties, L-L, you lose two times
If you donâ??t see you beautiful in your complexion
It ainâ??t complex to put it in context

Find the air beneath the kite, thatâ??s the context
Yeah, baby, Iâ??m conscious, ainâ??t no contest
If you like it, I love it, all your earth tones been blessed

Ainâ??t no stress, jigga boos wanna be
I ainâ??t talkinâ?? Jay, I ainâ??t talkinâ?? Bey
Iâ??m talkinâ?? days we got school watchinâ?? movie screens

And spike yourself esteem
The new James Bond gonâ?? be black as me
Black as brown, hazelnut, cinnamon, black tea

And itâ??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 ainâ??t a thing


Barefoot babies with no cares
Teenage gun toters that donâ??t play fair, should I get out the car?

I donâ??t see Compton, I see something much worse
The land of the landmines, the hell thatâ??s on earth
