Black Hypocrisy Lyrics - Spice

[Intro] 

It's not what you expect me to say 

But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway 

[Verse] 

('Cause) I was told I would reach further 

If the colour of mi skin was lighter 

And I was made to feel inferior 

Cah society seh brown girls prettier 

Mi love the way mi look 

Mi love mi pretty black skin 

Respect due to mi strong melanin 

Proud of mi colour, love the skin that I'm in 

Bun racism, demolish colourism 

But the things weh mi a go seh 

Yuh might not even have mi back 

I get hate from my own race 

Yes, that's a fact 

'Cause the same black people dem seh I'm too black 

And if yuh bleach out yuh skin dem same one come a chat

[Bridge] 

Well, since yuh seh that I'm too black for you 

I'll please yuh, do I look how you want me to? 

Now I'm gonna see if you gonna say I'm too black for you 

Or do I look pretty to you? 

[Chorus] 

Black people hypocrisy 

Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem 

Unu gwaan like seh yuh haffi brown fi pretty 

Fuck di whole of dem dirty inequity 

Dis a black people hypocrisy 

Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem 

I'm black and beautiful, I know I'm pretty 

Fuck the whole of dem dirty inequity

[Verse] 

Dem seh mi black til mi shine, til mi look dirty 

And it's the only line in life that will ever hurt me 

Because it never come from a Caucasian, trust mi 

Dis a black colorism big hypocrisy 

So if I wake up tomorrow look like a browning, oh! 

Automatically mi would a carry di swing 

Nuff a unnuh nah go like di song yah mi sing 

Because nuff a unnuh guilty fi di same damn thing 

What's your perception of a pretty woman 

Is it straight nose with her hair well long? 

Black girls lose self-confident 

Cause they attach the word "ugly" to our complexion 

[Bridge] 

Well, since yuh seh that I'm too black for you 

I'll please yuh, do I look how you want me to? 

Now I'm gonna see if you gonna say I'm too black for you 

Or do I look pretty to you? 

[Chorus] 

Black people hypocrisy 

Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem 

Unu gwaan like seh yuh haffi brown fi pretty 

Fuck di whole of dem dirty inequity 

Dis a black people hypocrisy 

Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem 

I'm black and beautiful, I know I'm pretty 

Fuck the whole of dem dirty inequity 

[Outro] 

(It's not what you expect me to say 

But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway)
