    My brown lady, creates environments, for
    Happy brown babies, i know it sounds crazy
    But your skin's the inspiration for cocoa butter

    [talib]
    You know what some people put themselves through
    To look just like you?
    Dark stocking, high heels, lipstick, alla that
    You know what?
    Without makeup you're beautiful
    Whatcha you need to paint the next face for
    We're not dealin with the european standard of beauty tonight
    Turn off the tv and put the magazine away
    In the mirror tell me what you see
    See the evidence of divine presence
    Women of the, carribean, they got the, golden sun
    I know women on the continent got it
    Nigeria, and ghana, you know they got it
    Tanzania, namibia and mozambique
    And bothswana, to let it speak
    About latinas, columbianas
    ...
    Tallenas, of course the brooklyn women walk that walk
    And the bronx women walk that walk
    Honies from queens walk that walk, nyc, atl, la
    Cincinatti, the bay area...
