Mr. Brownskin |
Close your eyes for me |
For a second |
Sh, just for a second |
Yeah, like that |
Uh |
Mr. Brownskin Brooklyn, brother, lover, best friend |
Centuries hated for that ebony complexion |
They answer no questions, I want some |
Heart beatin' awful like that bass drum, prayin' the day come |
where you came from, ancient as Abram |
Holy water sacred as Jacob |
Your eyes shine like the stars that over bed |
sisters to the wounds |
Brother to the night and when the lights on |
You transcend the rhyme form |
Uh, protagonist of this song |
The world wrote you wrong, let me love you enough |
To sing for you, dream of you, bang that Jodeci and fiend for you |
Roam your inner globe until you moan along the blues scale |
Promise I won’t tell, as bad as I wanna brag about you |
Yell tones and chords unknown, unclothed |
I transpose only when we alone, when we alone |
Baby, your brown skin’s gold |
You know I love to watch you shine |
Baby, your brown skin’s gold |
See your truth reflect inside my eyes |
Uh, Southern is your walk like a down South drawl |
Like a deep funk bassline brewin' between your thighs |
Sinkin' Johnny Gill, oh my, sunken the key of life |
Stevie see me and wonder why I get terrified |
Teary-eyed, don’t know whether to run or rhyme, I see you |
Black as the king in his prime, Chicago '65 |
The world claim color blind, play like you Busta Rhyme |
I let you touch it until we manifest a ancient tribe |
Even when you cross the line |
My love is rough, take you to war, go to war for you at the same time |
'Cause you are mine, divine,, heavy your heart like mine |
When you walk by, wish I could press rewind and freeze frame you |
pause and play you with my mind, I’m |
Your sanctuary from the pain outside, huh |
The most comfortable, lovable |
Michelangelo’s David couldn’t fuck with you, uh |
Baby, your brown skin’s gold |
You know I love to watch you shine |
Baby, your brown skin’s gold |
See your truth reflect inside my eyes |
Uh, for you |
Feels so good to know that you’re loved by somebody so wonderful |
Ooh, no more searching, no more searching the world |
It’s all right, it’s all right, ooh |
Let the record play Donny Hathaway |
This is a song for you |
I know the world wrote you wrong |
Let me write you the right way |
Let me phrase you the right way |
Let me paint you |
Mr. Brownskin |
Let me write you the right way, yes |
Let me phrase you, uh |
Let me paint you, Mr. Brownskin |
Uh, let the record play Donny Hathaway |
'Cause this is a song for you, ah |
For you, for you, for you |
Mr. Brownskin, uh, uh |
Uh |
For you, uh, yes |
