I don't like the brown paper bag comparison, which conveys That if you are lighter then the brown paper bag you're light skin And if you're darker, vice versa when it's all black Loving yourself is not about racism, but race pride I can love me, without hating you, that's truth Skin Black That's the oil in me Worth a lot it's royalty Seeing me is owing me Having this joy in me Can't toy with me I'm a black oiler see Skin Black That's the oil in me Worth a lot it's royalty Seeing me is owing me Having this joy in me Can't toy with me Word To all my black kin This skin, designed to win So swallow ya pride and get in On what we making This greatness Staged before the good And the heinous And man, they gonna hate you For being something that they ain't dude And this the straight truth Don't mean to impede Cause I believe In a system meant to fail Need a will to succeed Revealing something old It will be new to you Staying true to what I spew Can't stop me chewing glue And if they hate ya skin And it was made to win Why they goin' tan To fake it then How they goin' stand me If they don't over-stand me? How do I speak my heart If I wanna hold a grammy? Gotta plan ahead Gotta analyze Gotta look ahead Then I can fantasize Skin Black That's the oil in me Worth a lot its royalty Seeing me is owing me Having this joy in me Can't toy with me I'm a Black Oiler b Skin Black That's the oil in me Worth a lot its royalty Seeing me is owing me Having this joy in me Can't toy with me I'm a Black Oiler b My article ain't get pu-bli-ca-ted But its okay man Flows stay Ac-ti-va-ted And if they judge by the company You keep Company doing no good Then what's to really go reap They say the blacker the berry Then the sweeter the juice I said they wanna be us So why you leaving the truth Colorism is a problem Within my own race Got my sisters looking for love All in the wrong place I won't excuse self-pride In my race For everything There's a time and place And the time is here Not the time for waste In this song I share That we must make haste Man, forreal I'mma enstill The Emmett Till Story In ya ears, till I feel You ain't floor to ignore me Say I'm Black and Proud Real loud Only with this phrase I'll be well endowed Skin Black That's the oil in me Worth a lot its royalty Seeing me is owing me Having this joy in me Can't toy with me I'm a Black Oiler b Skin Black That's the oil in me Worth a lot its royalty Seeing me is owing me Having this joy in me Can't toy with me I'm a Black Oiler b My momma's not my sister Did you catch that gist cause I ain't tryna be like that guy On Aljazeera Came in the world unaware Of her troubles and struggles My mama made me hear And always wear double I couldn't sit in chairs When I met the buckle Hustled, when I was called With no smirk or chuckle I was taught better Finished talk, then leaving Walk like a leader Get stalked by heathens Pleading, give the kids Something to believe in Let them know a young Black male can succeed in Today's society Live in sobriety Remember you ain't perfect But always stay tryin b And Kirk mi have One more ting fi tell him Hold on to no weapon And don't become a felon When you're in trouble Just count on the Lord Oh yeah?
