Akua Naru, Georgia Anne Muldrow - Mr. Brownskin lyrics
[Akua Naru, Georgia Anne Muldrow - Mr. Brownskin lyrics]
Close your eyes for me for a second
Sh, just for a second yeah, like that
Uh
Mr brownskin Brooklyn, brother, lover
Best friend
Centuries hated for that ebony complexion
They answer no questions, I want some
Heart beatin' awful like that bass drum
Prayin’ the day come
Uncover where you came from, ancient as Abram
Holy water sacred as Jacob
Your eyes shine like the stars
That parlay over beds, stop
Because outlier sisters sew the
Wounds of the day, right?
Brother to the night and when the lights on
You transcend the rhyme form
Uh, protagonist of this song
The world wrote you wrong
Let me love you enough
To sing for you, dream of you
Bang that Jodeci and fiend for you
Roam your inner globe until you
Moan along the blues scale
Promise I won't tell
As bad as I wanna brag about you
Yell tones and chords unknown, unclothed
I transpose only when we alone, when we alone
Baby, your brown skin's gold
You know I love to watch you shine
Baby, your brown skin’s gold
See your truth reflect inside my eyes
Uh, Southern is your walk like
A down South drawl like a deep funk bassline
Brewin' between your thighs
Sinkin' Johnny Gill, oh my
Sunken the key of life
Stevie see me and wonder why I get terrified
Teary-eyed, don't know whether to
Run or rhyme, i see you
Black as the king in his prime, Chicago '65
The world claim color blind
Play like you Busta Rhyme
I let you touch it until
We manifest a ancient tribe
Even when you cross the line
My love is rough, take you to war
Go to war for you at the same time
'Cause you are mine, divine falsetto
Heavy your heart like mine when you walk by
Wish I could press rewind
And freeze frame you
Like how I pause and play you with my mind
I'm
Your sanctuary from the pain outside, huh
The most comfortable, lovable
Michelangelo's David couldn’t fuck with you
Uh
Baby, your brown skin’s gold
You know I love to watch you shine
Baby, your brown skin's gold
See your truth reflect inside my eyes
Uh, for you
Feels so good to know that you’re
Loved by somebody so wonderful
Ooh, no more searching
No more searching the world
It's all right, it's all right, ooh
Let the record play Donny Hathaway
This is a song for you
I know the world wrote you wrong
Let me write you the right way
Let me phrase you the right way
Let me paint you mr brownskin
Let me write you the right way, yes
Let me phrase you, uh
Let me paint you, Mr brownskin
Uh, let the record play Donny Hathaway
'Cause this is a song for you, ah
For you, for you, for you
Mr brownskin, uh, uh uh
For you, uh, yes
Sh, just for a second yeah, like that
