Brown Skin Girl (Cover by Baby Moyin). Hive Open Mic Week 170 "Cacao".
Hello everyone. This is my entry for Week 170 of Hive Open Mic. The theme of the week is Cacao and I sang Brown Skin Girl by Beyonce, Wizkid, Saint JHN and Blue Ivy.
Cacao is known for its rich brown color which is similar to the shade of black people. I find it funny we are called blacks when we are not black and others are called white when they are not white. It is not easy to ignore how deep colorism is etched in our lives. For black people, we have a sad history with the color of our skin. It is not news that long time ago, black people were taken into slavery and looked down upon in the society for a long time because of the color of their skins. Over time, after slavery was abolished, black people started taking their power back. We started appreciating our heritage that we seemed to have lost. Our culture, our food, our tribes and our skin - things we had forgotten to cherish for a long time. Especially our beautiful brown melanin skin. That is why I chose this song. It speaks about the beauty of our brown skin and encourages us to embrace our natural black features that makes us unique and stand out. Like the Cacao, our skin is rich in color and we should love and appreciate it. That's what makes us black or brown like Cacao(winks)
Here are the lyrics to the song. I hope you enjoy it.
Be the same skin taking 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 (In love)
With you and all of your glory (Glory)
Your skin is not only dark (Only)
It shines and it tells your story (Story)
Keep dancing, they can't control you (Ah)
They watching, they all adore you
If ever you are in doubt
Remember what mama told you
Brown skin girl (Brown skin girl)
Ya skin just like pearls (Brown skin girl)
Your back against the world (Oh)
I'd never trade you for anybody else, say (No, no)
Brown skin girl (Brown skin girl)
Ya skin just like pearls (Brown skin)
The best thing about the world
I'd never trade you for anybody else, say
Brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
I'd never trade you for anybody else, singing
