[Bb]homegirl [Gm]Rapsody at?)
(I need you to speak your mind
[Em]real quick loved one!)
Let me talk [Gm]my Stu Scott,

[Verse 8]
[Gm]
'scuse me [Em]on my 2Pac
Keep your head up, when did you stop
[Gm]Loving thy color of your skin,
[Em]color of your eyes
[Bm]That's the real [D]blues, baby,
[Dm]like you met [Gm]Jay's baby, uh
[Em]You blew me away, [Bm]you think more beauty in b[Gm]lue,
green and grey
All my solemn men up north,
[Em]12 years a slave
12 years of age,
thinkin' my shade [Dm]too dark

[Verse 9]
I love [Gm]myself, I no longer need [Em]Cupid
Enforcin' my dark side like a
young George [Dm]Lucas
[Gm]Light don't mean you smart,
bein' dark don't make [Em]you stupid
And frame of mind for them
bustas, ain't talk[Dm]in' "Woo- hah!"
[Gm]Need a paradox for the [G]pair
of daughters [Em]they tutored
Like two Todds, L- L, you [Gm]lose two times

[Verse 10]
If [Gm]you don't see your beautiful
in your [Am]complexion
It ain't com[Em]plex to put
it in con[Gm]text
Find the air beneath the kite,
uh, that's the con[Em]text
Yeah, [C]baby, I'm con[Bm]scious,
ain't no con[Dm]test
[Em]If you like it, I love it, all your earth
tones been blessed
Ain't no stress, jiggaboos wan[Dm]na be
[Gm]I ain't talkin' Jay, mm- mm,
I ain't [Em]talkin' Bey

[Verse 11]
I'm talkin' [Em]days we got school
watchin' movie [Dm]screens
[Gm]And spike your self esteem the new
[Am]James Bond gon' be black as me
[Bm]Black as brown, hazelnut,
[Dm]cinnamon, black [Gm]tea
And it's all beau[C]tiful to me
[Em]Call your brothers magnificent,
call [G]all the sisters [Gm]queens
We all on the same team,
blues and [C]pirus, no colors [Bm]ain't a thing[Em]

[Verse 12]
Barefoot babies with no care
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
