And everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing

Everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing, there she is

Fresher than Tony Rebel's vestibules at African street festivals

My incredible women is, plentiful

Over the years I met a few, none of them compare to you

Preparing you to make food bearable, something terrible, let's see:

You fruitful, beautiful, smart, lovable, huggable

Doable like art, suitable to be part

Of my life, Coppertone, oh you copyright infringement

Pay you bidness ten cents, way back in the day

It's like I'm standing there you know appreciating God's design

And then you showed up, it's like you read my mind

Damn she's fine, I think I add the are-E, in front of that

And see if she D, to get, with a cat like me

Oh! Daring me girl, look at you!

Coming on the block looking fresh and brand new

Oh! Head wrap cover your hairdo

Pretty feet peeking through open-toed shoe

Oh! No limit to what I would do

Make love to you like long interview

Whoa! Is she for real, me like you

Good look champion, win the title

True, many man try invite you

Shot down lyric each time they cyph you

Jewel, what man you get all insides you

Feet they walk way and just that sheik posture

Oh! Can't be a next one like you

Famous like tapes made by DJ Clue

I tighten up my game as I approach you

Yo check her she the nectar the bee get close to

I don't get many compliments, but I am confident

Used to have a complex about, getting too complex

You got me, willing to try, looked me in the eye

My head is still in the sky, since you walked on by

I'm feeling high, got my imagination flickering like hot flames

It's how it seems, you make me want to ride the Coltrane to A Love Supreme

My brown lady, creates environments, for

Happy brown babies, I know it sounds crazy

But your skin's the inspiration for cocoa butter

You provoke a brother we should get to know one another

I discover when I bring you through my people say TRUE, all I can say

Is all praise due I thank you God for a beauty like you

Brown skin lady

What you doing?

Brown skin lady

How do you feel?

There she is, she's a brown skinned lady

Such a brown skinned lady

She's a brown skinned lady [Repeat: x4]

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

What ya you need to paint the next face for

We're not dealing 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, Caribbean, 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 Boths want to, to let it speak

About Latina's, 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

Cincinnati, the Bay Area
