Mmm this particular song right here is Dedicated to the black woman And it doesn't pertain to all black women Some of y'all disrespect y'all self 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 I'm quite single and occasionally I mingle But aside from all the rest, she sparks my interest No, ma'am, I don't know you Just offerin' 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 screamin' in your ear, so some other time, okay? 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, livin' and learnin' are our only obligations Equality, honesty, independence, intelligence, emotion and devotion Humbly seekin' to hear God when he's speakin' 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 thought you was slick in the beginnin' But it turned 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 gone by Brought a baby girl into this world, made our parents grand folks Household with no hope, took care of ye, you me When **** 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, 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 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 A.T.L. 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 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 okay Let the pistol smoke the one who 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 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 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
