Spice - Black Hypocrisy Lyrics

Black hypocrisy


Intro : it's not what you expect me to say
But imma go ahead and say it any way
Cause


I was told I would reach further
If the color of my skin was lighter
And I was made to feel inferior
Cause society say brown girls prettier

Mi Love the way mi look
Mi Love mi pretty Black skin
Respect due to mi strong melanin
Proud of my color love the skin that I'm in
Bun Racism Demolish Colourism

But the things weh mi ago say you might not even have mi back
I get hate from my own race yes that's a fact
Cause the same black people dem say I'm too black
And if you bleach the skin Dem same same one come chat


Well Since you say that I'm too Black for you (I please yah)
Do I look how You want me too
Now I'm gonna see if your gonna say I'm too brown for
Or do I look pretty to you




Chorus
Black people hypocrisy
Leave the girls dem with low self esteem
Unu Gwan like say yu haffie brown fi pretty
F*ck the wolla dem dirty iniquity (Rept)


VERSE 2
Then say mi black till mi shine till mi look dirty
And it's the only line in life that weh eva hurt me
Because it never come from a Caucasian trust mi
This a Black colourism big Hypocrisy




So if I wake up tmro and look like a browning
Ohh Automatically me would carry the swing
Nuff nah like dah kinda song yah mi sing
Cause nuff a unu guilty fi the same dam thing



What's your perception of a pretty woman
Is it straight nose with hair well long
Black girls lose self confident and it's wrong
Cause they attach the word ugly to our complexion


Well Since you say that I'm too Black for you (I please yah)
Do I look how You want me too
Now I'm gonna see if your gonna say I'm too brown for
Or do I look pretty to you


Chorus
Black people hypocrisy
Leave the girls dem with low self esteem
Unu Gwan like say yu haffie brown fi pretty
F*ck the wolla dem dirty iniquity
