Black Hypocrisy |
| It’s not what you expect me to say |
| But I’mma go ahead and say it anyway |
| ('Cause) I was told I would reach further |
| If the colour of mi skin was lighter |
| And I was made to feel inferior |
| Cah society seh brown girls prettier |
| Mi love the way mi look |
| Mi love mi pretty black skin |
| Respect due to mi strong melanin |
| Proud of mi colour, love the skin that I’m in |
| Bun racism, demolish colourism |
| But the things weh mi a go seh |
| Yuh might not even have mi back |
| I get hate from my own race |
| Yes, that’s a fact |
| 'Cause the same black people dem seh I’m too black |
| And if yuh bleach out yuh skin dem same one come a chat |
| Well, since yuh seh that I’m too black for you |
| I’ll please yuh, do I look how you want me to? |
| Now I’m gonna see if you gonna say I’m too black for you |
| Or do I look pretty to you? |
| Black people hypocrisy |
| Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem |
| Unu gwaan like seh yuh haffi brown fi pretty |
| Fuck di whole of dem dirty inequity |
| Dis a black people hypocrisy |
| Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem |
| I’m black and beautiful, I know I’m pretty |
| Fuck the whole of dem dirty inequity |
| Dem seh mi black til mi shine, til mi look dirty |
| And it’s the only line in life that will ever hurt me |
| Because it never come from a Caucasian, trust mi |
| Dis a black colorism big hypocrisy |
| So if I wake up tomorrow look like a browning, oh! |
| Automatically mi would a carry di swing |
| Nuff a unnuh nah go like di song yah mi sing |
| Because nuff a unnuh guilty fi di same damn thing |
| What’s your perception of a pretty woman (tell me) |
| Is it straight nose with her hair well long? |
| (Tell me) |
| Black girls lose self-confident |
| Cause they attach the word «ugly» to our complexion |
| Well, since yuh seh that I’m too black for you |
| I’ll please yuh, do I look how you want me to? |
| Now I’m gonna see if you gonna say I’m too black for you |
| Or do I look pretty to you? |
| Black people hypocrisy |
| Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem |
| Unu gwaan like seh yuh haffi brown fi pretty |
| Fuck di whole of dem dirty inequity |
| Dis a black people hypocrisy |
| Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem |
| I’m black and beautiful, I know I’m pretty |
| Fuck the whole of dem dirty inequity |
| (It's not what you expect me to say |
| But I’mma go ahead and say it anyway) |
