Hey yeah, yellow dress mama
Yellow, yellow dress mama that's me huh
Yellow dress mama, ooh, yellow dress mama you see me
Growing up as a little girl they used to tell me my skin was too black
Tryna make it seem like that's a real fact
But how can it be if that's meant to be for me yeah
Huh but I got my yellow dress on
'Cuz they told me if I had it on, it would be too strong yeah
So here I am, stepping out the box, stepping in the box
Stepping in the style, stepping in my style, stepping on the street
Doing what I gotta do, getting to the meat
Because I had to do something that made me feel different and beautiful
Testing what they said about me
I had to forgive them 'cuz they was acting on straight ignorance
Someone told them that and they really thought it was true
But why you tryna get dark too
Hey, I got my yellow dress on
I got my, I-I I got my, I-I I got my yellow dress on
He said i'm fine
Babe I know I'm fine
(I am pure gold)
You like this, I know it, you show it...hey
I got my yellow dress on,
I'm a black girl and I know I'm poppin'
Yellow, yellow dress mama, yellow yellow dress mama
Hello, hey... yellow, yellow dress mama
Yellow dress mama, yellow dress mama, yellow dress mama
