Lyrics
, mmmm. this particular song right here is. dedicated to the black woman, and it doesn't pertain to all black women, because some of y'all disrespect y'allself, because you don't know who you are in the first place, this is out of common respect, for all women period, word up, like this song, yo, yo, i'm quite single, and occaisionally 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' ass, and, i was very content, and you deserved every complement, now, remember our indifferences make us the same, you gotta have some game, or, many of you, won't even 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, beginnin 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, checkin your long legs, got me smirkin, fixed me dinner one night, candles lit, kinda ahought you was slick in the beginnin, 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 shit 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, 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 walkin, lookin for the right female, i can't tell sometimes, they tell me the devil's comin humble in his approach, spontaneous with the game, he caught the naive of a girl fallin 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 crappin out, like today boy, i lost one of my best hips, natural thick lips, no animal fat implants, wide load, just started workin 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 feelin ain't mutual, just promise me you'll find a new man - that's bout some business, hope she find what her was lookin for, like a dreamto my end, i wanted to be more than friends, beautiful black skin,
