"Beauty Within" - Dead Prez

For all the natural ladies - there is love out there for us

Lyrics:

?Dedicated not to America�s top model but to the natural girls right next door. Like they say in Avatar, "I see you"

This Hollywood world so pretentious/every other girl got a perm or extensions/But you don�t even really wear lipstick/Still your beauty is a natural mystic indigenous strong cheekbone from your lineage not what the mainstream image is/Natural hair is your heritage but to see it without chemicals is rare as the pyramids/I was coming from the gym again/bumping 2Pac never call you B**** again/she �cross the street melanin glistening/felt the energy/something bout ya so interesting/the prototype Eve from Genesis/Ghetto empress Nefertiti resemblance/so sweet, so street, and genuine/real black girl I salute your existence/I can see us just kickin it/Building an intimate friendship more than just hittin it/down to earth like greens and cornbread/she don�t need no weaves or contacts/not judging other girls that got that/I�m jus sayin you the truth, never doubt that/cause you got that

Beauty�s a thing

Not just on the surface

The skin that you�re in, you're already perfect

They got nothing on you baby, nothing on you baby

Beautiful girls come in all types of flavors

When you love yourself it�s always gon be haters

They got nothing on you baby, Just keep doing you baby

This is going out to my African Queens/Dark skin, light skin, everything between/looking so good when you step up on the scene/smelling so sweet so fresh and so clean/even though we don�t see you on the flat screen/ain�t no doubt about what you got in dem jeans/I don�t mean denim, it�s your family tree/Yea it�s all about that red black and that green/For Gianesa and Falina and for all the pretty little girls/going out to my momma my favorite woman/and for all the women in the world/no they don�t love you on the radio/ and they try to play you in the video/but you so beautiful and natural/oh, oh?
