M DOC Diego & GNyce - Dark Brown Shade

The discarded left forgotten
Left to rotten
Crawled from hard place under da roc to get it poppin
Propaganda propped up us to be da black face
The face of crime n disease but we more then what y'all forced us to face
Tuskegee guinue pigs for da pig pin to waste
Took our alpha men stole our omega
Told us you was better
Called our hair nappy made beauty in your image
Confused our women
Raped n abused our women us too
Look at da sickness you put us through
Sporting fashions from designers that hate us
But dey copy our swag
That's what's leads em to a bigger bag
Gave Nike it's name
Gave Jordan its fame
Gave u da blueprint da foundation in the frame
Buy black da big pay back
Penny for ya thoughts ya Betta save dat
All ya options better way dat
That chance you better take dat
They started ahead told ya grand parents had to come in back
Strange fruit hung in a three piece suit n a hat
Silk socks n penny loafers
So no matter what you wear theyll still get u over
Cold world bundle up it's getting colder
Hope it fade
Through ruff waters we wade Freed da slaves jus to through us in a cage
What you forsake came back in bigger way
Turned some to animals look at what you made
Look at what u hate
Let da sun shine on my dark brown shade

Madam walker got rich cuz sisters ain't see beauty in blackness
Y'all champion the madness
We at a disadvantage
Game set they just tryna get the match
We gotta get it back
Hope you see the beauty in ya self when it's reflecting back
Gotta love ya self ain't nobody gonna give u dat
They give u scraps
I can't get wit dat
To much talking we need change
A roaring lion kills no game
A coward dies a thousand times da same
Call us ugly but so many tryna resemble the image of our queens
We came from royalty ruled everything u seen
Make dis look good better than you ever dream
Black beautifulist thing in dis world
You better believe young Prince gold chain before the diamonds n pearls
But I will achieve
Everything that was meant for me
Speak power flow wizardry
Greg Nyce wit da symphony
We got soul james brown on my energy
Nat turner to my enemies
Keep ya labels n ya Gucci frames
I'm doing me in my dark brown shade
