[cee-lo]
Mmmm.. this particular song right here is..
Dedicated to the black woman
And it doesnt pertain to all black women
Because some of yall disrespect yallself
Because you dont know who you are in the first place
This is out of common respect, for all women period
Word up, like this song, yo

Yo, Im quite single, and occaisionally I mingle
But aside from all the rest, she sparks my interest
No, maam, I dont know you
Just offering the common respect I feel I owe you
Also, some conversation, companionship, common-ground and common-sense
Theres no such thing as coincidence in, me finding you here
And I really hate screaming in your ear, so some other time, ok?
I waited a day *phone rings* hello?
This is carlito from a couple of days ago, you sound tired
Forgive me if Ive called you too late
But what better time to relate mind-state?  where could I begin?
Hasnt anyone ever told you you got beautiful skin?
Youre more than welcome, what do you desire within?
I just, wanna be, theres no need to put titles on you and me
Those are limitations, living and learning are our only obligations
Equality, honesty, independence, intelligence, emotion and devotion
Humbly seeking to hear God when hes speaking
At one time, my mind, just, couldnt conceive
A woman had to dress a certain way to believe
But, in the same breath, a-llow me to say
That, if you believed young lady, you wouldnt dress that way
And i, was attracted to your class, I couldnt see all yo ass
And, I was very content, and you deserved every complement
Now, remember our indifferences make us the same
You gotta have some game, or, many of you
Wont even be able to take care of yourself, uh
And love, when I look at you, I see my reflection
So I offer my love, affection and protection
Shawty, you dead fine, but the bottom-line is
Youre still my sister

Chorus: cee-lo *singing*

Well, I say youre my, beginnin my end
Youre my sista lover and friend
God is, your light from within
It shines through your beautiful skin
What they, say bout you aint true
Theres no me if there is no you
I hope, that you understand
You got to respect yourself before I can

[gipp]
Yeah, I met you and yall knew, saw you again on marietta
Downtown atlanta, checkin your long legs, got me smirkin
Fixed me dinner one night, candles lit
Kinda ahought you was slick in the beginnin
But it teurned out you wouldnt lie
Looked me in my eye, I listened
Sucked it up, pushed on, we made amends, both sides clicked
True friends, since then, years done gon by
Brought a baby girl into this world, made our parents grandfolks
Household with no hope, took care of ye, you me
When shit got put out on the curb
Closer than the skin on the back of my hand
Through the thick and thin, we can win
Beautiful black skin

Chorus

[khujo]
No need to compete, with the music loud
Or stairs cold, put on a scale, of one to ten, you a twelve
I chose, her over jail and hell
Originally from atl

[t-mo]
Compatible souls come together, under bad weather
To discuss distrust amongst the so-called
Good in every wo-man, how I wish this was true
I deal with facts only, already done cloned me
Why I sang the blues, when theres only one god
That watches over our every step, I need his help
When Im walkin, lookin for the right female
I cant tell sometimes
They tell me the devils comin humble in his approach
Spontaneous with the game
He caught the naive of a girl fallin for the ok
Let the pistol smoke the one you live by
Die by, examples of how relationships can be

[khujo]
I rolls the dice, takin a chance at crappin out
Like today boy, I lost one of my best hips
Natural thick lips, no animal fat implants
Wide load, just started workin at the airport
19 years old, worth more than her weight in gold
But it was all my fault, so dont cry, understand
If down the line I want you back and the feelin aint mutual
Just promise me youll find a new man -- thats bout some business
Hope she find what her was lookin for, like a dreamto my end
I wanted to be more than friends
Beautiful black skin (black skin)

Chorus: repeat to end
