Beautiful Skin - Goodie Mob

Beautiful Skin - Goodie Mob
Written by：Willie Knig
Yo I'm quite single and occassionally I mingle
But aside from all the rest she sparks my interest
No ma'am I don't know you
Just offering the common respect I feel I owe you
Also some conversation companionship common ground and common sense
There's no such thing as coincidence in me finding you here
And I really hate screaming in your ear so some other time OK
I waited a day hello
This is Carlito from a couple of days ago you sound tired
Forgive me if I've called you too late
But what better time to relate mind state where could I begin
Hasn't anyone ever told you you got beautiful skin
You're more than welcome what do you desire within
I just wanna be there's no need to put titles on you and me
Those are limitations living and learning are our only obligations
Equality honesty independence intelligence emotion and devotion
Humbly seeking to hear god when he's speaking
At one time my mind just couldn't conceive
A woman had to dress a certain way to believe
But in the same breath a llow me to say
That if you believed young lady you wouldn't dress that way
And i was attracted to your class I couldn't see all yo' a**
And I was very content and you deserved every complement
Now remember our indifferences make us the same
You gotta have some game or
You ain't even gonna be able to take care of yourself uh
And love when I look at you I see my reflection
So I offer my love affection and protection
Shawty you dead fine but the bottom line is
You're still my sister
Well I say you're my beginning my end
You're my sista lover and friend
God is your light from within
It shines through your beautiful skin
What they say bout you ain't true
There's no me if there is no you
I hope that you understand
You got to respect yourself before I can
Yeah I met you and y'all knew saw you again on Marietta
Downtown Atlanta checking your long legs got me smirking
Fixed me dinner one night candles lit
Kinda a thought you was slick in the beginning
But it teurned out you wouldn't lie
Looked me in my eye I listened
Sucked it up pushed on we made amends both sides clicked
True friends since then years done gon by
Brought a baby girl into this world made our parents grandfolks
Household with no hope took care of ye you me
When sh*t got put out on the curb
Closer than the skin on the back of my hand
Through the thick and thin we can win
Beautiful black skin
Well I say you're my beginning my end
You're my sista lover and friend
God is your light from within
It shines through your beautiful skin
What they say bout you ain't true
There's no me if there is no you
I hope that you understand
You got to respect yourself before I can
No need to compete with the music loud
Or stairs cold put on a scale of one to ten you a twelve
I chose her over jail and hell
Originally from ATL
Compatible souls come together under bad weather
To discuss distrust amongst the so called
Good in every wo man how I wish this was true
I deal with facts only already done cloned me
Why I sang the blues when there's only one god
That watches over our every step I need his help
When I'm walking looking for the right female
I can't tell sometimes
They tell me the devil's coming humble in his approach
Spontaneous with the game
He caught the naive of a girl Atlantag for the OK
Let the pistol smoke the one you live by
Die by examples of how relationships can be
I rolls the dice takin a chance at crapping out
Like today boy I lost one of my best hips
Natural thick lips no animal fat implants
Wide load just started working at the airport
19 years old worth more than her weight in gold
But it was all my fault so don't cry understand
If down the line I want you back and the feeling ain't mutual
Just promise me you'll find a new man that's bout some business
Hope she find what her was looking for like a dreamto my end
I wanted to be more than friends
Beautiful black skin black skin
Well I say you're my beginning my end
You're my sista lover and friend
God is your light from within
It shines through your beautiful skin
What they say bout you ain't true
There's no me if there is no you
I hope that you understand
You got to respect yourself before I can
Well I say you're my beginning my end
You're my sista lover and friend
God is your light from within
It shines through your beautiful skin
What they say bout you ain't true
There's no me if there is no you
I hope that you understand
You got to respect yourself before I can
