It's not what you expect me to say
But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway
('Cause) I was told I would reach further
It's not what you expect me to say
But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway
('Cause) I was told I would reach further
If the colour of mi skin was lighter
And I was made to feel inferior
Cah society seh brown girls prettier
Mi love the way mi look
Mi love mi pretty black skin
Respect due to mi strong melanin
Proud of mi colour, love the skin that I'm in
Bun racism, demolish colorism
But the things weh mi a go seh
Yuh might not even have mi back
I get hate from my own race
Yes, that's a fact
Cause the same black people dem seh I'm too black
And if yuh bleach out yuh skin dem same one come a chat
[Bridge]
Well, since yuh seh that I'm too black for you
I'll please yuh, do I look how you want me to?
Now I'm gonna see if you gonna say I'm too brown for you
Or do I look pretty to you?
[Chorus]
Black people hypocrisy
Leave di girls dem with low self-esteem
Unu gwaan like seh yuh haffi brown fi pretty
Fuck di whole of dem dirty inequity
Dis a black people hypocrisy
Leave di girls dem with low self-esteem
I'm black and beautiful, I know I'm pretty
Fuck the whole of dem dirty inequity
[Verse]
Dem seh mi black til mi shine, til mi look dirty
And it's the only line in life that will ever hurt me
Cause it never come from a Caucasian, trust mi
Dis a black colorism be hypocrisy
So if I wake up tomorrow look like a browning, oh!
Automatically mi would a carry di swing
Nuff a unique nah go like di song yah mi sing
Cause nuff a unique guilty fi di same damn thing
What's your perception of a pretty woman
Is it straight nose with har hair well long?
Black girls lose self confidence
Cause dey attatch the word "ugly" to our complexion
[Bridge]
Well, since yuh seh that I'm too black for you
I'll please yuh, do I look how you want me to?
Now I'm gonna see if you gonna say I'm too brown for you
Or do I look pretty to you?
[Chorus]
Black people hypocrisy
Leave di girls dem with low self-esteem
Unu gwaan like seh yuh haffi brown fi pretty
Fuck di whole of dem dirty inequity
Dis a black people hypocrisy
Leave di girls dem with low self-esteem
I'm black and beautiful, I know I'm pretty
Fuck the whole of dem dirty inequity
