Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, yeah
This goes out to the (you know)

Hey, light skinned girl with the curly hair
Don't say you from Delaware
I can't see it
Oh, I can't believe it
OK, where your daddy from
Where your momma from
I need to meet them
And tell your mom to come prove
And I bet she can't do it
But I think I'm in love with all of your features
Can I get a hug, it was so nice to meet ya
You and all of your friends look so exotic
So you go get them and I'm gonna get my partners

And we can make it a night to remember, I won't lie to you baby
You're telling me you're Japanese and I tell you maybe
But you really got sex appeal, so I really gotta keep it real
Shorty, I want my fix, I put you on my list, I want you on my wrist cause

[Chorus]
I'm looking for a mixed girl
Asian, Jamaican
I'm looking for a mixed girl
Puerto Rican, Haitian
I'm looking for a mixed girl
Cuban and White
I'm trying to get mixed up tonight like
Excuse me miss, what's your name, where ya from, can I come
I'm looking for a mixed girl
I'm looking for a mixed girl
Excuse me miss

Skinny black girl with the real straight hair
I know it ain't no weave up there
If it is I can't see it
Oh, I can't believe it
OK, where your boyfriend, 'cause I got dividends
Now are you listening or do you even speak English
Oh, I can't believe it
Mama I think I'm in love with all that slow winding
I'm in the reggae club, she gotta be from an island
Even all of your friends look so exotic
So she's gonna get them and I'm gonna get my partners

And can make it a night to remember, I won't lie to you baby
You tell me you're from Duvall County and I'm gonna tell you maybe
But you really got sex appeal, so I really gotta keep it real
Shorty, I want my fix, I put you on my list, I want you on my wrist cause

[Chorus]

And we can make it a night to remember, I won't lie to you baby
You're telling me you're Japanese and I tell you maybe
But you really got sex appeal, so I really gotta keep it real
Shorty, I want my fix, I put you on my list, I want you on my wrist cause





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in T-Pain’s “Mix’d Girl” express the artist’s admiration for women of mixed racial backgrounds, specifically those with Asian, Jamaican, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Cuban, White, and African American heritage. He describes his attraction to light-skinned girls with curly hair and skinny black girls with straight hair who look exotic to him. However, he questions their mixed heritage and even challenges them to prove it by asking where their parents are from. Despite the fascination with their racial identity, T-Pain appreciates their sex appeal and desires to be with them.


The song's lyrics highlight the complexity of racial identity and the obsession with mixed-race individuals that exists within Black culture. T-Pain's appreciation for mixed-race women reflects a broader societal obsession that values people whose bodies signify a mixture of different races. Furthermore, it perpetuates colorism by praising light-skinned women with curly hair while devaluing dark-skinned women with natural hair.


Overall, T-Pain's "Mix'd Girl" speaks to the idea that race and ethnicity are often viewed as desirable or exotic qualities in a partner. Nonetheless, it's important to recognize that there are negative implications when physical characteristics become the primary focus of romantic relationships.
