Complexion (A Zulu Love) Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 Complexion (Two-step)

2 Complexion don't mean a thing (It's a Zulu love)

3 Ooh, complexion (Two-step)

4 It all feels the same (It's a Zulu love)

5 Dark as the midnight hour or bright as the mornin' sun

6 Give a fuck about your complexion, I know what the Germans done

7 Sneak (dissin'), sneak me through the back window, I'm a good field nigga

8 I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you

9 You know I'd go the distance, you know I'm ten toes down

10 Even if master listenin', cover your ears, he 'bout to mention

11 Complexion (Two-step)

12 Complexion don't mean a thing (It's a Zulu love)

13 Ooh, complexion (Two-step)

14 It all feels the same (It's a Zulu love)

15 Dark as the midnight hour, I'm bright as the mornin' sun

16 Brown skinned, but your blue eyes tell me your mama can't run

17 Sneak (dissin'), sneak me through the back window, I'm a good field nigga

18 I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you

19 You know I'd go the distance, you know I'm ten toes down

20 Even if master's listenin', I got the world's attention

21 So I'mma say somethin' that's vital and critical for survival

22 Of mankind, if he lyin', color should never rival

23 Beauty is what you make it, I used to be so mistaken

24 By different shades of faces then Whit told me, "A woman is woman, love the creation"

25 It all came from God then you was my confirmation, I came to where you reside

26 And looked around to see more sights for sore eyes

27 Let the Willie Lynch theory reverse a million times with

28 Complexion (Two-step)

29 Complexion don't mean a thing (It's a Zulu love)

30 Ooh, complexion (Two-step)

31 It all feels the same (It's a Zulu love)

32 You like it, I love it, you like it, I love it

33 You like it, I love it, you like it, I love it

34 You like it, I love it, you like it, I love it

35 You like it, I love it, you like it, I love it

36 Where the homegirl Rapsody at?

37 I need you to speak your mind real quick loved one

38 Let me talk my Stu Scott, 'scuse me on my 2Pac

39 Keep your head up, when did you stop loving thy

40 Color of your skin, color of your eyes?

41 That's the real blues, baby, like you met Jay's baby

42 You blew me away, you think more beauty in blue, green and grey

43 All my solemn men up north, twelve years a slave

44 Twelve years of age, thinkin' my shade too dark

45 I love myself, I no longer need Cupid

46 Enforcin' my dark side like a young George Lucas

47 Light don't mean you smart, bein' dark don't make you stupid

48 And frame of mind for them bustas, ain't talkin', “Woohah”

49 Need a paradox for the pair of doc's they tutored

50 Like two Todd's, L-L, you lose two times

51 If you don't see you beautiful in your complexion

52 It ain't complex to put it in context

53 Find the air beneath the kite, that's the context

54 Yeah, baby, I'm conscious, ain't no contest

55 If you like it, I love it, all your earth tones been blessed

56 Ain't no stress, jigga boos wanna be

57 I ain't talkin' Jay, I ain't talkin' Bey

58 I'm talkin' days we got school watchin' movie screens and spike your self esteem

59 The new James Bond gon' be black as me

60 Black as brown, hazelnut, cinnamon, black tea and it's all beautiful to me

61 Call your brothers magnificent, call all the sisters queens

62 We all on the same team, blues and pirus, no colors ain't a thing

63 Barefoot babies with no cares

64 Teenage gun toters that don't play fair, should I get out the car?

65 I don't see Compton, I see something much worse

66 The land of the landmines, the hell that's on earth
