brown & beautiful - choosey & exile lyrics
[intro: sample]
[verse 1: choosey]
a one time, one two
look
she off top elegant
elements of way back
caught between benevolent and (n**** i don’t play that)
crop top tailor*fit, tighter where the waist at
right below the navel where them brother’s eyes aim at
they compliment her shape, but her time, they gon’ waste that
‘cause they don’t know her chakras don’t align with they lame ass
blase, blah she say save that
read her nameplate and wanna treat her like a name tag
please, she ain’t n0body four legged organism
knowing that she gorgeous but it never get distorted
skin tone tell the story of the one’s glorious
black or brown can’t pinpoint the origin
kings and queens, martyrs and the warriors
where the pyramids golden resources is
and they gon’ say it’s all allegory when it’s more to the story but your beauty’s where the moral is
[hook: sample]
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
[verse 2: blu]
yo
you got a big*ass ‘fro
and you told me not to ever write you raps no more
but you know how that go
aphrodite original, nefertiti in the flesh
can i put you on the cover of my cd cassette
when we met you were dressed like prince with your ass out
a glance at the goddess, the guy coulda passed out
but back to the black house, barack and mich*lle
a live city story that you know so well
white doves for black skin, the promise everlasting
ancient has*beens the politics of passion
angela davis, pamela greer
afrocentric, my hands on your rear
walking through the shadows of death, got fresh, god bless
i reminisce but the pen won’t forget
how i suited you
all dressed up to the cuticles
the musical had to say it all
you’re beautiful
[hook: sample]
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
you’re brown and you’re beautiful to me
[verse 3: ana tijoux]
dame el mano, quedate mi lado
contigo perfecto cotidiano
yo se, todo es simple
caminar, conversar la vida se vive
se recibe
se mides sin medidas sabrás y se deciden
veo te amor atrapa
mariposas en la panza
como me enamora, como me enamoras, como miras, como hablas
todo me sonroja
todo en la tarde besandonos son los como adolescentes curiosos
cuanto, cuanto me enamoro
ohohohoho
[verse 4: choosey]
she took herself a shower round the golden hour
made that sun bow just to show her power
she something like a lotus flower
out the muddy waters that explain the song about her
she glisten like there’s glitter in her tissue
bet that sun feel lucky just to kiss you
if you wondering when that sun gon’ come
she got the whole summer waiting on her just to pick a swimsuit
mid june when her hips grew
if she missed a menstrual expect kids soon
and we know that thang round, how she throw her weight around it goes more than a physical
she a queen, keep it plain and simple
she keep me in tune like bb king pick do
more than a hue is that melanin in you
that pigment so rich let me dedicate this to you
[interlude]
ana, cariña
quieres aceptó que pienso en tu cariña cada momento
y lo más importante que quiero que ser pasos de que
en dia que te encuentras solo
quiero que sepas que mis brazos siempre se han tocar
te extraño
[beat change]
[outro]
talkin’ like
talkin’ like from time in memorial
you know, memorial
times escaped you may you be reminded by the great
from the faces of veracruz they refuse to face
still sacred mounds erected
reflected in sp*ce
tends to erase
degrade denationalize and rename are lame as f*ck
i am the son of quetzalcoatl and queen califia
[?] cornrows neatly no need a dutch
touch us over the f*ck all what’s up home, homes
drove us over the projects and test homes
sell ‘em the pure stuff what the f*ck wrong
i know what’s going on (i need the kind of love)
it’s that black, that brown, get down, that’s the sound write it…
it’s that black that brown, get down, that’s the sound write it down
that black that, it’s a sound right
it’s that black, that brown, get down ya know the sound write it…
it’s that black, that brown, get down, that’s the sound write it down
it’s that black, that brown, get down, that’s the sound write it down
that black that, it’s a sound right
that black that brown…
