Cee Lo:

This particular song right here is dedicated to the black woman

And it doesn't pertain to all black women because some of y'all

disrespect

y'all selves bcause you don't know who you are in the first place.

This is out of respect to women period

Word up

I'm quite single

And occassionally I mingle

But aside from all the rest

You sparks my interest

No m'aam I don't know you

Just offerin the common respect I feel I owe you

Also, some conversation, companionship

Common ground and common sense

There's no such thing as coincidence

In me findin you here

And I really hate screamin in yo ear

So some other time, OK

I waited a day

Hello, this is Carlito

From a coupla days ago

You sound tired

Forgive me if I call you too late

But what better time to relate mindstate

Where could I begin?

Has anyone ever told you have beautiful skin?

You're more than welcome

What do you desire within?

I just wanna be

There's no need to put titles on you and me

Those are limitations

Livin and learnin are our only obligations

Equality, honesty, independence

Intelligence emotin and devotion

Humbly seekin to hear God when he's speakin to us

A one time my mind just couldn't concieve

A woman had to dress a certain way to believe

But, in the same breath allow me to say

That, if you believe, young lady, you wouldn't dress that way

And I was attracted to your class

I couldn't see all yo ass

And I was very content

You deserved every compliment

Indifferences make us the same

You gotta have some game, or

You ain't even gonna be able t take care of yoself

I love when I look at you, I see my reflection

So I offer my love, affection and protecton

Shorty, you dead fine

But the bottom line is, you still my sista

Chorus:

Well, I say

You're my beginnin, my end

You're my sista lover and friend

God is your light from within

It shines from your beautiful skin

What they say 'bout you ain't true

There's no me if there is no you

I hope that you understand

You got to respect yourself before I can

Gipp:

I met you and y'all knew

Saw you again on Marietta

Downtown Atlanta

Checkin your long legs, got me smirkin

Fixed me dinner one night, candles lit

Thought you was slick in the beginnin

But it teurned out you wouldn't lie

Looked me in my eye

I listened

Sucked it up, pushed on

We made amends

Both sides clicked, true friends

Since then, years done gon by

Brought a baby girl into this world

Made our parents grandfolk

Household with no hope

Took care of ye, you me

When shit got put out on the curb

Closer than the skin on the back of my hand

Through the thick and thin

We can win

Beautiful black skin

Chorus:

Khujo:

No need to compete

With the music loud

Or stairs cold

Put on a scale

Of one to ten, you a twelve

I chose her over jail and hell

Originally from ATL

T-Mo:

Compatible souls come together

Under bad weather

To discuss the mistrust

Amongst the so-called

Good in every woman

How I wish this was true

I deal with facts only

Already done cloned me

Why I sang the blues

When there's only one God that watches over our every step

I need his help

When I'm walkin

Lookin for the right female

I can't tell sometimes

They tell me the devil's comin humble in his approach

Spontaneous with the game

Caught the naive of a girl fallin for the OK

Let the pistol smoke the one you live by

Die by

Examples of how relationships can be

Khujo:

I rolls the dice

Takin a chance at crappin out

Like today boy

I lost one of my best hips

Natural thick lips

No animal fat implants

Wide load

This daughter workin at the airport

19 years old

Worth more her weight in gold

But it was all my fault

So don't cry, understand

And down the line I want you back

But the feelin ain't mutual

Just promise me you'll find a new man

That's bout some business

Hope she find what her was lookin for

Like a ?????

I wanted to be more than friends

Beautiful black skin (black skin)

Chorus

(repeat
