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 colorism 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 brown for you Or do I look pretty to you?

Black girls lose self confidence Cause dey attatch 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 brown for you Or do I look pretty to you?
