Black & White

And it took me, I'd say, thirteen years to come to terms with my skin
Colour and to appreciate my skin colour. And for anybody out there
Who is fighting this just like me, no matter what, you are a
Beautiful human being. Pimples, skin
Tone, weight, that doesn't define you

I never met a woman so white (So white)
I never knew a nigga so black (So black)
I never met a woman so nice
He had a craft, no, he never sold crack
Who'd have thought they could ever cross paths? (Paths)
Black and white, that was never no match
Just a spark, only give you one chance (One chance)
But you can't plan it when it's heaven's romance (Romance)

Hit the blues, show a soul how to dance

Fuck their views when they see you hold hands
I know a few people didn't know dad
She was confused, don't know how you told nan

Still we moved, heard you got your own gaff
Had a couple youts, two girls, a little man
Put me first even though I came last
Just in my eyes, I don't know if you can
Can't dispute the love you had, was for Joanne
Treat her like your own even though it weren't facts

Royal Mail, first class, you was that
Discipline the house, foot down when you stamp
And if you was around, I would never skip maths
Greggore Boulevard, I'm going way back
Before you had me, I had to dig up these raps
Black and white, I can't believe these old snaps

I never met a woman so white (So white)
I never knew a nigga so black (So black)
I never met a woman so nice (So nice)
He had a craft, no, he never sold crack (Sold crack)
Who'd have thought they could ever cross paths?
Black and white, that was never no match
Just a spark, only give you one chance
But you can't plan it when it's heaven's romance (Romance)

You got married after one or two dates
I call it magic, or you never had stay (I don't know)
It doesn't matter, and I can never complain

You just got to see your grandchild, you see what love made (Wow)
You did anything to keep your son safe
It was only right I gave my daughter one of two names (I'm sorry)
You was my everything, but everything's changed
I seen you separate, but still was best mates
You're never dead to me except for these graves
She just couldn't live without you, and I feel my mum's pain
But I'm okay, feel like I need you some days

To hold me up like baggy jeans or dungarees

She still have fear I might see her Sunday
Yeah, I'm just tryna get my P off
Think I'll leave the country (Country)
My skin'll keep me in between this love-hate (Love-hate)
Black and white, I put you on the front case (Front case)

I never met a woman so white (So white)
I never knew a nigga so black (So black)
I never met a woman so nice (So nice)
He had a craft, no, he never sold crack (Sold crack)
Who'd have thought they could ever cross paths? (Cross paths)
Black and white, that was never no match (Match)
Just a spark, only give you one chance (One chance)
But you can't plan it when it's heaven's romance (Romance)
I never met a woman so white (So white)
I never knew a nigga so black (So black)

I never met a woman so nice (So nice)
