[00:04.51]This particular song right here is
[00:06.36]Dedicated to the black woman
[00:09.16]And it doesn’t pertain to all black women
[00:16.36]Some of y’all disrespect y’allself
[00:17.21]Because you don’t know who you are in the first place
[00:19.17]This is out of common respect for all women period
[00:23.62]Word up like this song
[00:24.59]Yo, I’m quite single, and occaisionally I mingle
[00:26.33]But aside from all the rest, she sparks my interest
[00:29.92]No, ma’am, I don’t know you
[00:31.77]Just offering the common respect I feel I owe you
[00:34.49]Also some conversation, companionship
[00:37.10]Common-ground and common-sense
[00:38.92]There’s no such thing as coincidence in, me finding you here
[00:41.62]And I really hate screaming in your ear, so some other time, ok?
[00:45.22]I waited a day, hello, this the caller you told from a couple of days ago
[00:50.70]You sound tired, forgive me if I call you too late
[00:52.59]But what better time to relate mind-state? Where could I begin?
[00:56.16]Hasn’t anyone ever told you you got beautiful skin?
[00:57.96]You’re more than welcome, what do you desire within?
[00:59.74]I just wanna be, there’s no need to put titles on you and me
[01:02.51]Those are limitations, living and learning are our only obligations
[01:06.17]Equality, honesty, independence, intelligence, emotion and devotion
[01:11.52]Humbly seeking to hear God when he’s speaking
[01:13.42]At one time my mind just couldn’t conceive
[01:15.24]A woman had to dress a certain way to believe
[01:17.94]But in the same breath, allow me to say
[01:20.72]That, if you believed young lady, you wouldn’t dress that way
[01:24.35]And I was attracted to your class, I couldn’t see all yo’ ass
[01:27.18]And I was very content, you deserved every complement
[01:30.73]Now remember our indifferences make us the same
[01:32.56]You gotta have some game or many of you
[01:35.35]Won’t even be able to take care of yourself, uh
[01:37.19]And love, when I look at you, I see my reflection
[01:38.92]So I offer my love, affection and protection
[01:42.56]Shawty, you dead fine but the bottom-line is you’re still my sister
[01:48.87]Well, I say you’re my beginnin’, my end
[01:52.55]You’re my sista lover and friend
[01:55.26]God is your light from within
[01:58.00]It shines through your beautiful skin
[02:01.67]What they say ’bout you ain’t true
[02:04.33]There’s no me if there is no you
[02:08.00]I hope that you understand
[02:10.68]You got to respect yourself before I can
[02:13.36]Yeah, I met you and y’all knew, saw you again on Marietta
[02:16.12]Downtown Atlanta, checkin’ your long legs, got me smirkin’
[02:19.70]Fixed me dinner one night, candles lit
[02:21.55]Kinda thought you was slick in the beginnin’
[02:24.31]But it turned out you wouldn’t lie
[02:26.17]Looked me in my eye, I listened
[02:27.91]Sucked it up, pushed on, we made amends, both sides clicked
[02:31.56]True friends, since then years done gone by
[02:35.18]Brought a baby girl into this world, made our parents grandfolks
[02:37.89]Household with no hope, took care of ye, you me
[02:42.38]When shit got put out on the curb
[02:45.10]Closer than the skin on the back of my hand
[02:47.83]Through the thick and thin, we can win
[02:49.61]Beautiful black skin
[02:50.51]Well, I say you’re my, beginnin’, my end
[02:53.28]You’re my sista lover and friend
[02:55.90]God is your light from within
[02:59.55]It shines through your beautiful skin
[03:03.15]What they say ’bout you ain’t true
[03:05.85]There’s no me if there is no you
[03:08.55]I hope that you understand
[03:11.28]You got to respect yourself before I can
[03:14.92]No need to compete with the music loud
[03:17.62]Or stairs cold, put on a scale of one to ten, you a twelve
[03:22.13]I chose her over jail and hell
[03:24.88]Originally from ATL
[03:26.63]Compatible souls come together, under bad weather
[03:30.20]To discuss distrust amongst the so-called
[03:32.92]Good in every woman, how I wish this was true
[03:35.63]I deal with facts only, already done cloned me
[03:39.48]Why I sang the blues, when there’s only one God
[03:42.17]That watches over our every step, I need his help
[03:45.75]When I’m walkin’, lookin’ for the right female, I can’t tell sometimes
[03:49.39]They tell me the devil’s comin’ humble in his approach
[03:52.93]Spontaneous with the game
[03:54.77]He caught the naive of a girl fallin’ for the ok
[03:56.56]Let the pistol smoke the one you live by
[04:00.25]Die by, examples of how relationships can be
[04:03.83]I rolls the dice, takin’ a chance at crappin’ out
[04:07.45]Like today boy, I lost one of my best hips
[04:09.24]Natural thick lips, no animal fat implants
[04:12.00]Wide load, just started workin’ at the airport
[04:15.66]19 years old, worth more than her weight in gold
[04:18.37]But it was all my fault, so don’t cry, understand
[04:21.91]If down the line I want you back and the feelin’ ain’t mutual
[04:25.68]Just promise me you’ll find a new man, that’s ’bout some business
[04:30.15]Hope she find what her was lookin’ for, like a dream to my end
[04:33.72]I wanted to be more than friends
[04:35.63]Beautiful black skin
[04:37.41]Well, I say you’re my beginnin’, my end
[04:41.07]You’re my sista lover and friend
[04:45.69]God is your light from within
[04:49.29]It shines through your beautiful skin
[04:51.99]What they say ’bout you ain’t true
[04:55.53]There’s no me if there is no you
[04:58.23]I hope that you understand
[05:00.98]You got to respect yourself before I can
[05:04.55]Well, I say you’re my beginnin’, my end
[05:07.24]You’re my sista lover and friend
[05:09.90]God is your light from within
[05:13.59]It shines through your beautiful skin
[05:16.22]What they say ’bout you ain’t true
