Kendrick Lamar - Complexion (A zulu love) (con Rapsody)

I'm with this


[Estribillo: Pete Rock]
Complexion (two-step).
Complexion don't mean a thing (it's a Zulu love).
Complexion (two-step).
It all feels the same (it's a Zulu love).


[Kendrick Lamar]
Dark as the midnight hour or bright as the mornin' sun.
Give a fuck about your complexion, I know what the Germans done.
Sneak (dissin’).
Sneak me through the back window, I’m a good field nigga.
I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you.
You know I'd go the distance, you know I'm ten toes down.
Even if master listenin', cover your ears, he 'bout to mention.

Dark as the midnight hour, I'm bright as the mornin' sun.
Brown skinned, but your blue eyes tell me your mama can't run.
Sneak (dissin').
Sneak me through the back window, I’m a good field nigga.
I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you.
You know I'd go the distance, you know I'm ten toes down.
Even if master's listenin', I got the world's attention.
So I'mma say somethin' that's vital and critical for survival.
Of mankind, if he lyin', color should never rival.
Beauty is what you make it, I used to be so mistaken.
By different shades of faces.
Then Whit told me, "A woman is woman, love the creation".
It all came from God then you was my confirmation.
I came to where you reside.
And looked around to see more sights for sore eyes.
Let the Willie Lynch theory reverse a million times with...

You like it, I love it. You like it, I love it 
You like it, I love it. You like it, I love it
You like it, I love it. You like it, I love it 
You like it, I love it. You like it, I love it 
 

Where the homegirl Rapsody at?
I need you to speak your mind real quick loved one!


[Rapsody]
Let me talk my Stu Scott, ‘scuse me on my 2Pac.
Keep your head up, when did you stop loving thy.
Color of your skin, color of your eyes.
That’s the real blues, baby, like you met Jay’s baby.
You blew me away, you think more beauty in blue, green and grey.
All my solemn men up north, 12 years a slave.
12 years of age, thinkin’ my shade too dark.
I love myself, I no longer need Cupid.
Enforcin’ my dark side like a young George Lucas.
Light don’t mean you smart, bein’ dark don’t make you stupid
and frame of mind for them bustas, ain’t talkin’ “Woohah!”
Need a paradox for the pair of doc's they tutored.
Like two Todd's, L-L, you lose two times.
If you don’t see you beautiful in your complexion.
It ain’t complex to put it in context.
Find the air beneath the kite, that’s the context.
Yeah, baby, I’m conscious, ain’t no contest.
If you like it, I love it, all your earth tones been blessed.
Ain’t no stress, jigga boos wanna be.
I ain’t talkin’ Jay, I ain’t talkin’ Bey.
I’m talkin’ days we got school watchin’ movie screens
and spike your self esteem.
The new James Bond gon’ be black as me.
Black as brown, hazelnut, cinnamon, black tea
and it’s all beautiful to me.
Call your brothers magnificent, call all the sisters queens.
We all on the same team, blues and pirus, no colors ain’t a thing.


[Kendrick Lamar]
Barefoot babies with no cares.
Teenage gun toters that don’t play fair, should I get out the car?
I don’t see Compton, I see something much worse.
The land of the landmines, the hell that’s on earth.
