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
(It's not what you expect me to say
But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway)
Ni nini unatarajia mimi kusema
Lakini I'mma kwenda mbele na kusema anyway
( 'Kusababisha) Niliambiwa napenda kufikia zaidi
Kama rangi ya mi ngozi ilikuwa nyepesi
Na mimi ilitolewa kujisikia duni
CAH jamii seh kahawia wasichana prettier
Mi upendo njia mi kuangalia
Mi upendo mi mzuri nyeusi ngozi
Respect kutokana na mi nguvu melanin
Kujivunia mi rangi, upendo ngozi kwamba mimi nina katika
Bun ubaguzi wa rangi, kubomoa colorism
Lakini mambo Weh mi go seh
Yuh wanaweza hata kuwa na mi nyuma
Ninaweza kupata chuki kutoka mbio yangu
Ndiyo, hiyo ni kweli
Kusababisha huo watu weusi dem seh mimi nina pia nyeusi
Na kama yuh bleach nje ngozi yuh dem sawia kuja kuzungumza
[Daraja]
Naam, tangu seh yuh kwamba mimi nina nyeusi pia kwa ajili yako
Nitakuwa tafadhali yuh, mimi kuangalia jinsi gani unataka mimi?
Sasa mimi nina gonna kuona kama gonna kusema mimi nina rangi pia kwa ajili yako
Au mimi kuangalia pretty na wewe?
[Chorus]

Moja kwa moja mi ingekuwa kubeba di swing

Sasa mimi nina gonna kuona kama gonna kusema mimi nina rangi pia kwa ajili yako
