clear skin

Said it's all about the time, know the time won't last
Step into the pours as the cold water splash
We be feeling good, what you know about that?
We be lookin' good like an all black cast

Said it's all about the time, know the time won't last
Step into the pours as the cold water splash
Melanated skin, somethin' that my people have
We deserve the half 'cause we're black

Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made of
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made-
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made of
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made- (yo, okay, okay)

I open my eyes, open the blinds, today I'm feeling good
Yesterday I thought I should have done some more
But tomorrow's problems is packed in the hood, not the trunk
Tryna fathom the concept of lifting your inner self up
They used to tell me I should knock on wood
Because the luck I had was hidden in the dirt, surely I didn't have enough
You see me glowin' and shorty lookin', she already knowin'
I'm in a better position, like we went and took the potion
We're not worried 'bout motion, but we're so free
Can't you see?

Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made of
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made-
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made of
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made-

Blacker than the moment
That you chose to turn the lights off in your kitchen
Won't even see a flicker in your sight
A shade of brightness, that one will not catch us slippin'
They knockin' on the door, give me a minute
I be takin' time to put into perspective

That we all be lookin' different
So ain't no need of all the constant wishin'
Of you lookin' like somebody
That didn't even know that you had existed
I'm finally out the way and I feel lifted
Set the tone, so you can step out of this prism, nigga

Said it's all about the time, know the time won't last
Step into the pours as the cold water splash
We be feeling good, what you know about that? (What you know about that?)
We be lookin' good like an all black cast

Said it's all about the time, know the time won't last
Step into the pours as the cold water splash
Melanated skin, somethin' that my people have
We deserve the half 'cause we're black

Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made of
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made-
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made of
Ain't this what dreams made of, made of, made-

I use the Aquaphor (yeah)
No Vaseline no more (yeah)
My lips are never sore, no (yeah, yeah, yo)

Peak into the mirror
Then acknowledge that your skin lookin' the clearest
I'm lookin' at the view as if I'm standin' on a precipice
Steppin' in all while, I'm tryna set the precedent
When appearance straight, you be feelin' like the president

Time for folks to settle in
Must begin the journey of accomplishments
Keep the hatin' shit to a place that we ain't never been
I be doing all the things they know they never did
They be movin' like they do not got the intelligence, damn

Brown skin queen is never worried 'bout the pessimist
Brown skin king, don't pay attention to they messages
We gon' reach the light even if it's takin' us the whole night
I'll be damned if we're goin' without a fight (bitch)
