    Melanin too dark to throw her shade

    Dig me like the earth, you be giving birth
    Took everything in life, baby, know your worth
    I love everything about you, from your nappy curls
    To every single curve, your body natural
    Same skin that was broken be the same skin takin' over
    Most things out of focus, view
    But when you're in the room, they notice you (Notice you)
    'Cause you're beautiful
    Yeah, you're beautiful
    Them men, them gon' fall in love with you and all of your glory
    Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story
    Keep dancin', they can't control you
    They watchin', they all adore you

  • @missmelodyjoy
    @missmelodyjoy 4 роки тому +2580

    Every time I listen to this song I tear up. 💔 Growing up, my best friend was a very dark-skinned black girl. When we played outside she would only play with me in the shade. I asked her why and she told me she hated her skin tone and didn’t want to get darker. When we became teens, she would always talk about how she wanted my hair, she wanted my skin tone. But I’m not kidding when I tell you that she was beautiful enough to be a model. I tried to tell her for years that she was beautiful but it never got through to her... the voice of the media, the voice of people who were racist and colorist towards her, even the voice of her own family was louder than mine and she truly never believed that she was beautiful.
    I hate that so many black women are taught to hate themselves from a young age. I hate all of the racism and colorism in the world. Sometimes it all feels overwhelming and impossible to get rid of. I just hope if you are reading this you know that you are BEAUTIFUL, you are WORTHY, you are NOT a mistake. You do not need to change anything about yourself. The things others try to change about you are the special qualities that set you apart and help to “tell your story.” ❤️

      Black women are not taught to hate themselves. I am sure you heard that from social media. I love the shade because the sun is too hot. When it is cold I love to feel the sun on my dark skin. If you really are interest in different cultures, don’t watch the news or be on social media, all lies. Black/Brown people love the skin they are in, at most the ones I know. The media mostly portrayed by someone not black paint a different picture. Much love to you😊

You have no idea how many confused looks, rude comments, questions and queries I had gotten from my peers. My friends said and I quote "Girl, you would look way nicer with straight hair like me." and " Daisy has similar hair to yours just it's not ass messy and big". My mum picked me up from school and this song played. I cried. I cried full tears and I couldn't stop. So thank you for this song as it helped me realise that my hair, my skin, my eyes and my body are something to be proud of and I have no need to change it.

    Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in
    Drip broke the levy when my killas roll in
    I think tonight she might braid her braids
    Melanin too dark to throw her shade
    She minds her business and winds her waist
    Gold like 24k, okay
    Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me
    I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me
    Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly
    If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me
    Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
    Your back against the world
    I never trade you for anybody else, say
    Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
    The best thing about the world
    I never trade you for anybody else, say
    Oh, have you looked in the mirror lately? (Lately)
    Wish you could trade eyes with me (Because)
    There's complexities in complexion
    But your skin, it glow like diamonds
    Dig me like the earth, you be giving birth
    Took everything in life, baby, know your worth
    I love everything about you, from your nappy curls
    To every single curve, your body natural
    Same skin that was broken be the same skin takin' over
    Most things out of focus, view
    But when you're in the room, they notice you (Notice you)
    'Cause you're beautiful
    Yeah, you're beautiful
    Them men, them gon' fall in love with you and all of your glory
    Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story
    Keep dancin', they can't control you
    They watchin', they all adore you
    If ever you are in doubt
    Remember what mama told you
    Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls

      @@franciscastar334 Idky, at least I don't understand THEIR reasons completely.
      There's a video out here on yt with a message from Africa to Beyoncé basically saying thanks but no thanks to Black Is King.
      Their complaints ranged from a belief she like many many others were simply exploiting Africa for her own profit and wondered if and how Africa would benefit?
      Something about (misinformation I think) the fact she doesn't visit or bring her major tours to Africa, but obviously she did visit several places in Africa to complete this project.
      Some disapproved of the images used to represent Africa. Thinking they did not accurately reflect the modern way in which African people live today, just wearing jeans or business suits or other designer clothes, and stylish hair, even weaves and accessories & are active social media users, they seemed to feel-- just based on the trailer,--once again they were portrayed from ages ago as a step above savagery, wearing loin cloths , living in tribes in forests and such or something out of Black Panther.
      IMO Africa doesn't have a good image or reputation around the world , basically known for war, corruption and poverty and disease, the origins of humanity and AIDS, ALWAYS with a hand out for help, getting loans from the WHO and China and not paying back, FGM, stolen girls, etc... and Beyonce was trying to help provide positive I images about our Roots, this generation of Africans didn't seem to see it that way.
      The conversation thread showed a mix of support for Beyonce from African Americans and support from other Africans who agreed with blasting her.
      A disconnect in feelings was revealed with several AA trying to convey their teaching or lack thereof, about their own heritage in Africa and mainly negative stereotypes and bringing it current day to the murder of George Floyd and the resistance to the first black/Indian woman being nominated to vice president of the United States of a major party, to all the cop Murders and growing anti black sentiment in America, even historically from African people.
      This discourse seemed to demonstrate a need for less judgement and More of these understanding conversations.
      That was More detailed than I planned to respond but that's the gist of it.

      @@geminifreestyle3697 This would be true if we was living back in the 1950's. Black women are so far removed from hating black men who date white women. Its not an issue anymore. The racial conflict between black and white goes way deeper than interracial dating, you barely scratched the surface with that comment. If you want to date a black man....go ahead. If a black man prefers you.....congratulations. Just leave black women out of it because we don't care, and we are tired of "hearing" it. You listened to this entire song and the best you could get out of it is, black women and white men hate black men and white women dating, and its affecting the politics, so I believe black women would do better in Africa? Smh.
