about

WHEN I CHOSE THIS DILLA INSTRUMENTAL...I KNEW IT WOULD BE SENSUAL. THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE MELANATED. I WANTED TO IDENTIFY WITH BLACK WOMEN . I FEEL THERE IS A VOID IN MESSAGE MUSIC. THIS RECORD IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS IT REPRESENTSA VOICE THAT HAS BEDN SILENCED. MY AIM WAS TO BE AS SMOOTH AS THE AIRY PRODUCTION AND UPLIFT BLACK WOMEN. THIS SONG WAS A PLEASURE TO RECORD. THE TITLE IS SELF EXPLANATORY. MELANIN BABY

lyrics

THE SMELL OF YA FEMININE FRAGRANCE, ITS HELLA CONTAGIOUS
& IF READ RIGHT,U AINT GAVE ME THE RED LIGHT YET,IM SAYIN...
YOU DRIVE A GENTLEMEN KRAZY
YA NATURAL LIP GLOSS, SUMMERTIME JOHNSON & JOHNSON
GOT MY JOHNSON RESPONSIVE...
HONESTLY IM SUCKER FOR CORNROWS, AND MANICURED TOES
WHETHER ITS WEAVE, AFRO, OR NATURAL
CUT SHORT, GIRL AS LONG YOU YOU BLACK, THAT'S GOLD (YEAH)
BLACK WOMAN THAT'S GOLD
~YOU REMIND ME OF NEFERTITI, AFRICAN, SENT TO FREE ME
WHAT CAN GET BETWEEN US, YOUR CALL...REFEREE ME
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE U AINT GOT UT 2 WASTE, I UNDERSTAND...
STARTIN FROM THE BOTTOM IS NEVER EASY
I AINT GOT THE WORLD IN MY PALM OR A POCKET FULL OF DOLLA DOLLA BILLS YA'LL BUT I GOT A WALLET FULL OF CHARM
GIRL I NEED YA...

I NEED YA....MELANIN BABY, I WANT YA...MELANIN BABY (4×)

IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYTHING IS A TREND
IM WORRIED BOUT DRIVE,YOU WORRIED ABOUT A BENZ
IM TRYNA FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE, WHILE YA'LL PRETEND
MY MEANS JUSTIFY MY ENDS
NOWADAYS I FIND BEAUTY IN THE SIMPLE THINGS
YA OUTWARD EXPRESSION, THE PRINT FROM YA NIPPLE RING
SEX IS A WEAPON, IF CHIVALRY IS DEAD
THEN ITS PROBABLY A DOUBLE HOMICIDE CUZ YOU KILLIN ME
I NEED YA...
