Skin
D$ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know your style, You like
Them light skin niggas with the parts in the middle
And their eyebrows did but
Kick it with me for awhile baby
I can show you, just how we do it

As it turns out, I'm an alright looking dude
But every time I look at you
I see the world, and I don't even see no other girls
It's just you. and I can say you doing your thing babe
Got your eyes lined up and your teeth white
Trying to squat a little something trying to eat right
Good lord baby, you, got a hold on my soul
I want to give you my coat cause I know that it's cold
But when you get close, its like I know no control
I'mma go straight up to you, with a note that I wrote
Then I, froze second guessing if
The rollie that I'm flexing really something you impressed with
I'm a true homie if you do know me for the record
We can do something, I can prove something if you let me but

I know your style, You like
Them light skin niggas with the parts in the middle
And their eyebrows did but
Kick it with me for awhile baby
I can show you, just how we do it

Baby girl, you, is my quest
I'm taking steps, I know I haven't made it yet
But you should check out my progression
Girl you is the best I ever seen and I confess it
Say I can only have you in my dreams? Imma test it
Cause I'm who you sleeping on
Imma wife you baby, you ain't got to sleep alone
I talk that good, you can put me on the speaker phone
Cause the boy proud, so you ain't got to keep it low
Not with me no, cause I'm single and I don't mingle
I just see girls that I wanna Love, and I'm talking about you
So baby what do you want to do?
You say "we got take it slow", well that's cool
Cause this will only take a second
Talking love at first sight, you the curse I'm blessed with
Yes its for sure, you ain't got to write no girls I mess with
Trust me, I'm invested, baby girl

I know your style, You like
Them light skin niggas with the parts in the middle
And their eyebrows did but
Kick it with me for awhile baby
I can show you, just how we do it

I can show you somebody else
I kind of wish I was I was light skin
Maybe I'll be what you like then
I know for sure you'll like it
Baby do you like this?
Or do you want somebody else cause
I can't take it, I can take it

Let me guess, you like them niggas anorexic
With them skinny jeans on? I can bet it
Yea, I said it. I'm a thick nigga don't forget it




I'm going in, So lets just keep it going then
I know your style babe, I just want to say hello
