As simple as it sounds

it's as simple as it ought to be

light skin girls lack the dark skin quality

ya don't understand?

You want an explanation?

Well let D e L release the frustration

as I see it

every single day

light skin girls ain't satisfied unless they get their way

always

plus they act stuck up

they all add up to one great big phuck up

they try to play suck up

when they want somethin'

then always leave a brother with nothin'

ya think ya look better cause ya skin's a little bit lighter?

You're thinkin' you're my type

like I was a typewriter?

No, ya think ya all-uh-that and all-uh-this

but you ain't really shit

without a makeup kit

see, ya might be light

but ya ugly to me

black is beautiful

to me, that's beauty.

[CHROUS:]

"Dark skin girls are better than light skin, light skin girls ain't

better than dark skin,...

CUBE: I disagree homeboy!"

Now

lets get to the problems

and see if there's a way to solve them

problem #1, has got to be the attitude

which is usually vain, selfish & rude

personality, wit 'er nose stuck up

so don't try talkin' to her

or walkin' with her

to class cause it's out of the question

cause you bein' dark is the wrong complexion

for her,

she wish she was light, though

I mean lighter than light

or as close to white as possible

but I fight to stay a brother

you see,

green and dark skin sisters are the color

this don't apply to all the girls with light skin

just the ones with their heads up their rear end

cause if ya did, static would occur

dark skin cuties is what I prefer

now, look at her

her vision is a blur

cause contact lenses only let ya see Benzes

plus she would fuss & cuss if I tried to talk to her

cause I'm a man who rides the bus

I get frustrated

well, lets say I used to

now a dark & lovely

is who I give juice to

so come on

step to Del if ya with this

this is the facts

so brothers don't forget this.

[CHORUS:]

[INTERLUDE:]

I can't understand

you light skin wenches

ya think ya all that cause ya have long extensions?

Your hair was natural

now ya got played out braids

you woulda looked better with a fade

dark skin girls are so fly, so honest, so sweet

that's the type of girl I wanna meet

complete,

not phony or a fake like you are

see, Del is bolder

I tap you on the shoulder

and say, 'Hey lighty

could you tap that sister for me?'

But you love Mr. Loveable

so you'll just ignore me

so find another tip that you can hop upon

to get with me ya need some sun and some Coppertone

you'll take a white boyfriend before a black one

that's why Del has to stand and attack one

next time you see a girl darker than you

no disrespct when you met her, cause the girl looked better than you.
