Complexion (A Zulu Love) (Explicit)

Complexion (A Zulu Love) (Explicit) - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉馬爾)/Rapsody

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

Dark as the midnight hour or bright as the mornin' sun

Give a f**k about your complexion I know what the Germans done

Sneak dissin'

Sneak me through the back window I'm a good field n***a

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

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

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 n***a

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 wit told me "You're womanless 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

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

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

Let me talk my Stu Scott 'scuse me on my 2pac

Keep your head up when did you stop Love and die

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 Solomon up north 12 years a slave

12 years of age thinkin' my shade too dark

I love myself I no longer need Cupid

And forcin' 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 dots they tutored

Like two ties 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 yourself 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

Barefoot babies with no cares

Teenage g*n 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
