Mr. Brownskin (All About Love Version) Lyrics by Akua Naru

All About Love: New Visions

2024

[Intro]
Baby, this is for all our brown skin men
We want to say we love you
And we never see you shine, yeah
Oh, we wanna see, wanna see you flourish
We wanna see your power, yeah
Mr. Brownskin
We love you
Yeah
[Chorus]
Baby, your brown skin's gold
We wanna watch you shine (Shine)
Baby, your brown skin's gold
See your truth reflect inside my eyes
[Verse 1: Akua Naru]
Southern is your walk like a down South drawl
Like a deep funk bassline brewin' between your thighs
Singin' Johnny Gill, "Oh My", sung in the key of life
Stevie see me and wonder why I get terrified
Teary-eyеd, don't know whether to run or rhyme, I see you
Black as thе king in his prime, Chicago '65
The world claim color blind, play like you Busta Rhymes
I let you touch it until we manifest an ancient tribe
Even when you cross the line
My love is rough, take you to war, go to war for you at the same time
'Cause you are mine, divine falsetto, [?] like mine
When you walk by, wish I could press rewind and freeze frame you
Like how I pause and play you with my mind, I'm
Your sanctuary from the pain outside, huh
The most comfortable, lovable
Michelangelo's David couldn't fuck with you, let's go
[Chorus]
Baby, your brown skin's gold (Brown skin's gold)
We wanna watch you shine
Baby, your brown skin's gold (Brown skin's gold)
See your truth reflect inside my eyes
[Verse 2: Akua Naru]
Mr. Brownskin Brooklyn, brother, lover, best friend
Centuries hated for that ebony complexion
They answer no question, I want some
Heart beatin' awful like that bass drum, prayin' the day come
Uncover where you came from, ancient as Abram
Holy water sacred as Jacob, uh
Your eyes shine like the stars that parlay over beds, stop
Meet your biggest ally, sister sew the wounds of the day, right?
Brother to the night and when the lights on, you transcend the rhyme form
Uh, protagonist of this song
The world wrote you wrong, let me love you enough
To dream of you, sing for you, bang that Jodeci and fiend for you
Roam your inner globe until you moan along the blues scale
Promise I won't tell, bad as I wanna brag about you
Yell tones and chords unknown, unclothed
I transpose only when we alone, when we alone
