Verse:
-I'm talking 'bout the culture
The one they sculptured
-Always manipulating-
Your curls fading
Looking for more ways to straighten
Be patient
-Ain't got time for no degrading
You need elevating
Soon as you speaking on my name
I get to meditating
I got that eclipse, I'm swift
I got you gravitating
Soon as you pick that comb up
You get to levitating
Guess that explains why
I got no time to stoop down
Cause when they look up
Tout ce qu'ils ont à voir est ma couronne
-I'm laced with these locks
I'm dipped in melanin
They say I'm pretty cause I'm mixed
And then ask why I'm offended
-We tired of comparison
Can we just end that
If I set you Western standards
Would you be mad?
-I thought so
And don't you come at us
For knowing what's up
We might just throw you some olive oil
And some Shea butter
-C'est basique
N'a pas le temps pour le plastique
Put that on your damn script since you got time for acting
-So act quick
Don't you get caught with your wack tricks
Cause Imma give you facts
With a serving of my blackness
-It's settled, I'm a King
My struggles won't dare define me
Cause I know my skin tone got that glow
And yes it's blinding
-Yes, it's blinding
It’s enlightening
