Murs - Dark Skinned White Girls lyrics

She got that mocha chino baby on the back of the bus If you close your eyes and listen she would be one of us Never did trust, her family at home So she kicked it in the hood Raised herself on her own She talked with that tone but she white to the bone You would swear she was black if you spoke on the phone Some say it's overblown but she don't give a damn All the black girls think that she want they man But it's not your fault they attracted to you That you blessed and you got as much back as you do Most white boys say that you way too thick And some brothas might say you the number one pick You say "Girl!", roll ya eyes, twist ya neck But it comes from the soul You don't mean no disrespect And even when they check you, you just keep it movin' Cause in your heart you feel you ain't got nothin' to be provin' Whether Chocolate or Vanilla Or ya somewhere in between Like cappuccino, mocha, or a caramel queen Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world And this is dedicated to the dark skin white girls Whether Chocolate or Vanilla Or ya somewhere in between Like cappuccino, mocha, or a caramel queen Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world And this is dedicated to the dark skin white girls Now she like The Smiths, The Cure, really into Morrissey Heavy into rock, never fooled with the Jodeci Notice she was never really welcomed by the others Hard to find a date when it was only 10 brothers In the whole damn school And they thought she was weird Cause she wore her hair different and she never joined cheer Carmelancholy dolly with the polywanna syndrome White stepfather, black daddy never been home Went on the choir, she could hear her mom say "Look at how she walks, why she talk that way?" But girl it's okay Ya black is beautiful No matter how you dress Or no matter what music you like Forget what they say, you doin' it right No more grabbin' on ya pillow as you cry through the night Stand strong, hold ya ground at any cost And know that everyone who tries to put you down is lost Whether Chocolate or Vanilla Or ya somewhere in between Like cappuccino, mocha, or a caramel queen Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world And this is dedicated to the dark skin white girls Whether Chocolate or Vanilla Or ya somewhere in between Like cappuccino, mocha, or a caramel queen Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world And this is dedicated to the dark skin white girls Now half and half of mixed girls I know what the battle be Every time you go out it's "whats your nationality?" Everybody always wanna dig up in ya background You don't look, now how does that sound? I couldn't tell you were, oh is that right? Do you take it as a compliment or start up a fight? Venezuelan and Indian, Rican and Dominican Japanese or Portuguese, Quarter of Brazilian White and Korean, Black and Pinay We'll find out later It don't matter, ya fly It don't really matter to most of us guys We just need an excuse to get close or say "hi" I know they call you stuck up, Ya think you're too pretty Spread rumors about you all throughout the city So much attention, so many hatas But don't be bitter, you'll be better for it later Whether Chocolate or Vanilla Or ya somewhere in between Like cappuccino, mocha, or a caramel queen Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world And this is dedicated to the dark skin white girls Whether Chocolate or Vanilla Or ya somewhere in between Like cappuccino, mocha, or a caramel queen Rejected by the black, not accepted by the white world And this is dedicated to the dark skin white girls
