(It's the Don, with Marsean)
(It's the Don, with Marsean, sing it)
Skin like mahogany, it ain't never bother me
Never in the spotlight but girl that's where you ought to be
Dark skin girl keep doing your thing, you keep doing your thing love
Cause it's in the skin tone that they wanna bring home
I don't mind the redbone but that just ain't me
See the scars from the past I just cover with the sass
And I laugh it off as they try to get like me
I was born of a darker tone, the infant never noticed
But the more the infant grew the more the world became important
And I stayed out of the sun because they always told me
Don't nobody want nobody that is darker you see
But I fell in love with my melanin the chocolate it enriches
And it leaves the other colors to discover our indifference
See that dark and lovely, coca buttered girl with the braids
Is the same little girl that you gone raise one day, so tell her
Skin like mahogany, it ain't never bother me
Never in the spotlight but girl that's where you ought to be
Dark skin girl keep doing your thing, you keep doing your thing love
They say you pretty for a dark girl, well that's rude
I mean your prettier than most girls, well that's true
Cause my complexion ain't connected to your beauty just perception
So I stopped giving my time to all this little boy attention
And the older I got, the more I learned what I'm working with
Yeah, they may ignore but everybody loves a Hershey kiss
Something bout a, hazelnut honey, give up his money
Or a blackberry shorty, that make him support me
Naomi's, to the Kelly's, Ryan Destiny's and all
All my dark skin girls stand dark and tall because you got it
Never lose it, I don't think you ever could
From the North Carolina's all the way to Hollywood you got
Skin like mahogany, it ain't never bother me
Never in the spotlight but girl that's where you ought to be
Dark skin girl keep doing your thing, you keep doing your thing love
And they loving every hue give your boyfriend the blues
Ain't the first one they choose but that's alright
See this moonlight skin it gone make him come again
I don't have to pretend, yeah he loves me alright
(Cause I got)
Skin like mahogany, it ain't never bother me
Never in the spotlight but girl that's where you ought to be
Dark skin girl keep doing your thing, you keep doing your thing love
