Kendrick Lamar - Complexion Lyrics
[Hook]ComplexionComplexion don't mean a thing (it's a Zulu love)ComplexionIt all feels the same (it's a Zulu love)[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]Dark as the midnight hour or bright as the mornin' sunGive a ***** about your complexion, I know what the Germans doneSneak (dissin’), sneak me through the back window I’m a good field niggaI made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with youYou know I'd go the distance, you know I'm ten toes downEven if master listenin', cover your ears, he bout to mention[Hook][Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]Dark as the midnight hour, I'm bright as the mornin' SunBrown skinned but your blue eyes tell me your mama can't runSneak me through the back window I’m a good field niggaI made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with youYou know I'd go the distance, you know I'm ten toes downEven if master's listenin', I got the world's attentionSo I'ma say somethin' that's vital and critical for survivalOf mankind, if he lyin', color should never rivalBeauty is what you make it, I used to be so mistakenBy different shades of facesThen wit told me, "You're womanless, women love the creation"It all came from God, then you were my confirmationI came to where you resideAnd looked around to see more sights for sore eyesLet the Willie Lynch theory reverse a million times with...[Hook][Bridge]You like it, I love itYou like it, I love it[Verse 3: Rapsody]Let me talk my Stu Scott, ‘scuse me on my 2pacKeep your head up, when did you stop? Love and dieColour of your skin, colour of your eyesThat’s the real blues baby, like you met Jay’s babyYou blew me away, you think more beauty in blue green and greyAll my Solomon up north, 12 years a slave12 years of age, thinkin’ my shade too darkI love myself, I no longer need [?]And forcin’ my dark side like a young George LucasLight don’t mean you smart, bein’ dark don’t make you stupidAnd frame of mind for them bustas, ain’t talkin’ “Woohah!”Need a paradox for the pair of dots they tutoredLike two ties, L-L, you lose two timesIf you don't see you beautiful in your complexionIt ain't complex to put it in contextFind the air beneath the kite, that’s the contextYea baby I’m conscious, ain’t no contestIf you like it, I love it, all your earth tones been blessedAin't no stress, jiigga boos wanna beI ain't talkin' Jay, I ain't talkin' BeyI'm talkin' days we got school, watchin' movie screensAnd spike yourself a steam the new James Bond gon’ be black as meBlack as brown, hazelnut cinnamon teaAnd it’s all beautiful to meCall your brothers magnificient, call all the sisters queensWe all on the same team, blues and pirus, no colours ain’t a thing[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]Barefoot babies with no caresTeenage gun toters that don’t play fair, should I get out the car?I don't see Compton, I see something much worseThe land of the landmines, the hell that's on earth
