## Lyrics

**SAINt JHN and Blue Ivy Carter:**

*Brown skin girl*

*Your skin just like pearls*

*The best thing in the world*

*Never trade you for anybody else*

*Singin' brown skin girl*

*Your skin just like pearls*

*The best thing in the world*

*I never trade you for anybody else, singin'...*

**Wizkid:**

*She said she really grew up poor like me*

*Don't believe in nothin' but the almighty*

*Just a likkle jeans and a pure white tee*

*She never did forever be nobody wifey, yeah*

*So while I may not pretty boy, your heart is amiss*

*Play it like a villain 'cause she caught in a wave*

*Tonight I am walkin' away*

*Lined up my mind, on the grind, yeah, yeah*

*Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me*

*I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me*

*Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly*

*If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me*

*Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls*

*Your back against the world*

*I never trade you for anybody else, say*

*Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls*

*The best thing in all the world*

*I never trade you for anybody else, say*

**Beyoncé:**

*Pose like a trophy when Naomis walk in*

*She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin*

*Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in*

*Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in*

*I think tonight she might braid her braids*

*Melanin too dark to throw her shade*

*She minds her business and wines her waist*

*Gold like 24k, okay*

**Wizkid and Beyoncé:**

*Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me*

*I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me*

*Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly*

*If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me*

*Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls*

*Your back against the world*

*I never trade you for anybody else, say*

*Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls*

*The best thing in all the world*

*I never trade you for anybody else, say*

**Beyoncé:**

*Oh, have you looked in the mirror lately?*

*(Lately)*

*Wish you could trade eyes with me*

*(Because)*

*There's complexities in complexion*

*But your skin, it glow like diamonds*

*Dig me like the earth, you be giving birth*

*Took everything in life, baby, know your worth*

*I love everything about you, from your nappy curls*

*To every single curve, your body natural*

*Same skin that was broken be the same skin takin' over*

*Most things out of focus, view*

*But when you're in the room, they notice you*

*(Notice you)*

'*Cause you're beautiful*

*Yeah, you're beautiful*

*Them men, them gon' fall in love with you and all of your glory*

*Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story*

*Keep dancin', they can't control you*

*They watchin', they all adore you*

*If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told you*
