Brown is the colour of my skin,
Crimp is what I wear on my head,
Dead is the theory of colours,
And those that judge by skin are not brothers,
Others that do need to take heed,
Seed is what I'm planting, to succeed,
Success will come with steady progress,
And progress can't come if you are godless,
Next will come the pretext of shade,
Fade means to be done with racism,
Egoism is definitely related to racism, but leaning more towards the use for paganism,
Vandalism is what you do to a brother,
Lover is not what you are, but the covers will get pulled from right over yourself,
'Cause being skin deep is bad for your health.

Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep.

All around the globe, people are flipping,
I can't understand it, I can't comprehend,
Somebody lend me a dime, 'cause I'm-a find someone to talk to about this topic,
Stop it - all the racial acts,
Stop it - talking behind the backs,
Get going like a fast break by the Lakers,
Yo, Sup, bust a rhyme from Jamaica.

Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep.

Verse one: I brought the message across,
Verso three: I'm-a make sure you don't get lost,
Style is sort of different, but kind of cool,
But this is how you use poetry as a tool,
Truth - the topic of speech,
Whack are the brothers who are skin deep,
And I hope you learn this message I'm teaching,
Instead of fighting, why don't you start preaching'
Out my hand to the other man,
And, in the end, we'll all be brothers, man,
This is a message I sure hope you keep,
'Cause beauty only is skin deep.

Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep.

Yeah.

Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep,
Beauty only is skin deep.
