Darker

Man Gucci said ****** are only worried about dark tints

Dark kush

Dark drinks

Man I'm worried about skin color

Or at least I think other ppl are

Shoot when I walk into a room I sometimes get the ***** looks

Walk into an interview...shoot I get the oh she darker look

Even walking around downtown naptown I get the oh she darker frown

But you know I gotta remember that just 50 years ago we were seen as the low of the low

See our darker shows so we gotta watch out

Man Gucci said ****** are only worried about darker tints

Dark kush

Dark drinks

What would our ancestors think cuz that was their struggle of the day

Looking in the mirror saying hey I look darker

It seem to get farther and farther from our minds

So we need to remember we are darker
