Brown Skin Lyrics

Kelly Rowland Beyonce and Lucy Liu
So many flavors how can I lose
You underused and under appreciated
Ya already tan but if you need a vacation call me

I know you be stressed out
They keep stealing your style
They keep leavin’ you out
Of TV screens and magazines

Ya know ya belong on
Hollywood to Hong Kong
I see your influence baby
You do it and they cop that

Ain't they some copy cats
They copy this they copy that
And you dont never get your props
Ima need to this to go pop
Ima need this shit to stop

Til you get where you belong
I hope that this your favorite song
And you play it on the daily
Cuz I made it for you baby
You and only you I want you to be comfortable
Inside that pretty skin ya in
Ya truly genuine my sister and my friend
You my favorite alien and

A lot of people may not want you around them
But me baby girl I’m in love with ya brown skin
So unique with ya hair on fleek
Every time I see you out in the street

You got the niggas like oh my god
Oh my god
You got the niggas like oh my god
Me baby girl I’m in love with ya brown skin

[2x]

How could I not be when them girls up town yelling papi
I’m down south at the auc shout them girls in the h.B.C’s
Murda murda
All bodies drop to the floor when you walk through the door like
Murda murda
All bodies drop to the floor when you walk through the door

Girl you fresh as can be
Yea thats all I can see
I ain’t gassin you up
I'm just keeping it g
Regretted calling you bitches
Regretted calling you hoes
But I grew up how I grew up and I want you to know

I got my game from a woman
Got my name from a woman
She was black she was strong
Ain't no changing this woman

And I hope that she happy
With the man I’m becoming
She taught me to be loyal
And be royal when I love em…though

A lot of people may not want you around them
But me baby girl I’m in love with ya brown skin
So unique with ya hair on fleek
Every time I see you out in the street
You got the niggas like oh my god
Oh my god
You got the niggas like oh my god
Me baby girl I’m in love with ya brown skin
[2x]
