diamonds - phrimpong lyrics

intro
this is ama k abebrese
black is beautiful
all shades of black (wanya lie no)
my skin is natural
i love my natural skin tone
say no to skin bleaching

verse
my granny was dark so i guess i know the reason why
mum is dark and it confirms the reason why
i am dark and am proud of my cobra stripes
true african i got love for ma ashanti tribe
but it hurts to see my sisters trying to look foreign
beautiful diamond spending money just to look orange
in their quest to look nice, stay fly, make guys choose them over dark girls i get so worried
to see them spend a lot to erode their pride of roots
to look good in the eyes of men and guys like you
i mean you who chose abena cos she’s the light skinned type and left akua cos she is dark what a mean excuse
black society who choose to call the light as nice
if the whites got no respect for the blacks they right
cos we show the imperfection in us and make them feel superior wo a wode nku sesa w’ahosuo tie hae
nnɛ deɛ wo honam no bɛtɔ so
wo ho mmarima bɛ dɔɔso, w’adwen ne sɛ wanya ahotɔ
but si abotrɛ ma mfie nsia bi mɛka ho, deɛ onim wo nkaae wo mpo mesu wokyena sɛ poultry akokɔ
but hey lets face it, are the bleaching for the bleaching sake?
who are their targets who do they wish to please today?
the continent as a whole has got a role to play
in maintaining our complexion
cos even our black movies give lead roles to the lights skinned girls
tv shows prefer to choose them as host as well
parents buy white dolls for their girl child and
sellers of the black ones are are left starving
movie directors pɛ whites like abrɔnomaa (dove)
local rapper twa video a ɔpɛ abroad mmaa
yebu yɛn ho animtia asosɔ abrɔfo yi so saa
nti obi pɔ ne hoa to me ɛnyɛ ne fault koraa
don’t get me wrong i ain’t talking bout them born light skinned
am talking diamonds relocating to the all light skinned
are we gonna sit down and act like we alright and
the importation of these creams got no laws biding them?
where are the laws let the parliament speak
before our queens and some kings die of skin bleaching
the blood remains and african and so there’s no reason
to change colour obibini ntumi nkɔfa obi din
don’t change your colour but the mindset
bleaching not a right step
the blacker the berry and so ma complexion is high tech
am bold black beautiful, am proud to be me
and though they choose to disrespect am happy being me so i say
these few words to the skin toners
it starts nice but it ends with your skin folded
shouts to queens like ama k. abebrese
diamonds get their colours from the african and diamonds ain’t white
diamonds ain’t white
(mongyae oo mongyae oo mongyae ooo)
diamonds get their colours from the african and diamonds ain’t white

hook
mongyae oo mongyae oo mongyae ooo
you should be proud of your own skin
mongyae oo mongyae oo mongyae ooo
you should be proud of your own skin
allow me black, i love me black
cos black is the way to go [ooo ooo ooo]
black is the way to go [ooo ooo]
black is the way to go

black power
black power
(mongyae oo mongyae oo mongyae ooo mongyae ooo)
i make black beautiful
black power
black power
