big r3d - summer lightskin lyrics
[intro]
this song goes out to the whiteskins out there. the really really lightskins out there. i’m talking my dad and uh logic?
[chorus: big r3d]
’bout that time for a tan
get outside, know i am
part black, but only got a little bit of melanin
chilling under the sun
won’t stop until i’m done
summer lightskin
staying outside all day
go inside. (ha) no way
right on my lounge chair is the only place that i’ll stay
absorbing all the light
so i get dark by night
summer lightskin
[verse 1: big r3d]
hop in the heat faster than lil naz on a horse
i can’t have no white legs, so you know i’m only wearing shorts
playing ball as much as possible. the best that’s on the court
that’s like the only reason i would ever play sports (swish)
you know how it be in the winter
look like a white kid, with a tan in the summer
looking like turkey skin, thanksgiving dinner
looking like harry’s hair from dumb and dumber
proud of my blackness, but people can’t tell like that
they know i’m not white, but they can’t they tell that i’m black
but they not tweaken
if they say i’m rican
cause it ain’t a lie, they just don’t see the half (half black)
but you know how it be though
i’m a mixed kid. that’s just me though
this boy got a little bit of color in him, but he not dark dark, emo
got questions like a man in a speedo
if it ain’t clear i’m light, what does he know?
i just keep going cause i’m on the roll
not dark but in summer, i can be bro
[chorus: big r3d]
’bout that time for a tan
get outside, know i am
part black, but only got a little bit of melanin
chilling under the sun
won’t stop until i’m done
summer lightskin
staying outside all day
go inside. (ha) no way
right on my lounge chair is the only place that i’ll stay
absorbing all the light
so i get dark by night
summer lightskin
[verse 2: ferreazejr]
got a black parent. only half black father
but i’m a quarter baby, so you know not the mamma
my skin don’t match my honda
but that ain’t no problem
cause me and my boys h-t up toyotathon-a
i look pretty white but my name ain’t conner
you can’t write your bars? better hit up fiverr
she said she need a ride. you know i can drive her
what’s bruce lee’s favorite drink? water
wait. hold up. thought this would be about your skin tone
mister mister with a darker sister as you get grown
don’t you want to explain your life living like this joe?
a way of expressing yourself. (mmm) no
[chorus: big r3d]
’bout that time for a tan
get outside, know i am
part black, but only got a little bit of melanin
chilling under the sun
won’t stop until i’m done
summer lightskin
staying outside all day
go inside. (ha) no way
right on my lounge chair is the only place that i’ll stay
absorbing all the light
so i get dark by night
summer lightskin
