Melanin 02:54
I like the way my brown skin looks in the sun There's plenty more vitamin d for everyone You can even let your pale friends out for a run They love it You love it when I'm walking on the beach and you can see I'm not a red lobster hiding underneath a tree You see the way my lineage has been so good to me You love it Them blue eyed boys need brown skin girls to rock their world Just look at her, all dressed in pearls, they’re lovin it So take a hit, say this is it I need the melanin I like to see my Nubian queens in the winter Still so sharp that you might catch a splinter Walking too close cuz you really wanna linger Nah linga You love to see my Sudanese girl on the catwalk Everything she do make the crowd want to talk Camera loves you boo cuz you know where you came from They love it Them blue eyed boys need brown skin girls to rock their world Just look at her, all dressed in pearls They lovin it So take a hit, say this is it I need the melanin Everybody stay talkin Brown skin baby keep on walkin They need the melanin They want the melanin I give em melanin So let the fellas in They want the melanin They need the melanin So let the fellas in It ain’t a sin, it ain’t a sin, it ain’t a sin to want some skin It ain’t a sin, it ain’t a sin, it ain’t a sin to love the skin I’m in It ain’t a sin, it ain’t a sin, it ain’t a sin to want the skin I’m in You need the melanin

That Afro 02:29
That afro is oh so natural Tell me how you make it grow Tell me cuz I need to know That afro is putting on quite a show and maybe I need to know you better Walking down the street I keep on looking at my feet Cuz everybody that I meet They always want to talk to me Now I can’t fathom why I guess I am a friendly guy But then I look into their eyes And that’s when I realize they think That afro is oh so natural Tell me how you make it grow Tell me cuz I need to know That afro is putting on quite a show and maybe I need to know you better I was minding my business When someone came to me in distress They keep asking me questions And I’m just wondering what is this They keep telling me their problems And I don’t know how I can solve them But they just keep on saying Harlem And now I know just what they’re wanting That afro is oh so natural Tell me how you make it grow Tell me cuz I need to know That afro is putting on quite a show and maybe I need to know you better Please don’t touch it I know you love it But I’m tryna walk in This supermarket And I love it too But I think you knew You wouldn’t put hands in my food So why you put hands in my 'do That afro is oh so natural Tell me how you make it grow Tell me cuz I need to know That afro is putting on quite a show and maybe I need to know you better
