Yo I'm quite single and occassionally I mingle

But aside from all the rest she sparks my interest

No ma'am I don't know you

Just offering the common respect I feel I owe you

Also some conversation companionship common ground and common sense

There's no such thing as coincidence in me finding you here

And I really hate screaming in your ear so some other time OK

I waited a day hello

This is Carlito from a couple of days ago you sound tired

Forgive me if I've called you too late

But what better time to relate mind state where could I begin

Hasn't anyone ever told you you got beautiful skin

You're more than welcome what do you desire within

I just wanna be there's no need to put titles on you and me

Those are limitations living and learning are our only obligations

Equality honesty independence intelligence emotion and devotion

Humbly seeking to hear god when he's speaking

At one time my mind just couldn't conceive

A woman had to dress a certain way to believe

But in the same breath a llow me to say

That if you believed young lady you wouldn't dress that way

And i was attracted to your class I couldn't see all yo' ass

And I was very content and you deserved every complement

Now remember our indifferences make us the same

You gotta have some game or

You ain't even gonna be able to take care of yourself uh

And love when I look at you I see my reflection

So I offer my love affection and protection

Shawty you dead fine but the bottom line is

You're still my sister

Well I say you're my beginning my end

You're my sista lover and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through your beautiful skin

What they say bout you ain't true

There's no me if there is no you

I hope that you understand

You got to respect yourself before I can

Yeah I met you and y'all knew saw you again on Marietta

Downtown Atlanta checking your long legs got me smirking

Fixed me dinner one night candles lit

Kinda a thought you was slick in the beginning

But it teurned out you wouldn't lie

Looked me in my eye I listened

Sucked it up pushed on we made amends both sides clicked

True friends since then years done gon by

Brought a baby girl into this world made our parents grandfolks

Household with no hope took care of ye you me

When shit got put out on the curb

Closer than the skin on the back of my hand

Through the thick and thin we can win

Beautiful black skin

Well I say you're my beginning my end

You're my sista lover and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through your beautiful skin

What they say bout you ain't true

There's no me if there is no you

I hope that you understand

You got to respect yourself before I can

No need to compete with the music loud

Or stairs cold put on a scale of one to ten you a twelve

I chose her over jail and hell

Originally from ATL

Compatible souls come together under bad weather

To discuss distrust amongst the so called

Good in every wo man how I wish this was true

I deal with facts only already done cloned me

Why I sang the blues when there's only one god

That watches over our every step I need his help

When I'm walking looking for the right female

I can't tell sometimes

They tell me the devil's coming humble in his approach

Spontaneous with the game

He caught the naive of a girl Atlantag for the OK

Let the pistol smoke the one you live by

Die by examples of how relationships can be

I rolls the dice takin a chance at crapping out

Like today boy I lost one of my best hips

Natural thick lips no animal fat implants

Wide load just started working at the airport

19 years old worth more than her weight in gold

But it was all my fault so don't cry understand

If down the line I want you back and the feeling ain't mutual

Just promise me you'll find a new man that's bout some business

Hope she find what her was looking for like a dreamto my end

I wanted to be more than friends

Beautiful black skin black skin

Well I say you're my beginning my end

You're my sista lover and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through your beautiful skin

What they say bout you ain't true

There's no me if there is no you

I hope that you understand

You got to respect yourself before I can

Well I say you're my beginning my end

You're my sista lover and friend

God is your light from within

It shines through your beautiful skin

What they say bout you ain't true

There's no me if there is no you

I hope that you understand

You got to respect yourself before I can
