[verse 1: wizkid]
F#
She said she really grew up poor like me
G#m                                A#m
 Don't believe in nothin' but the almighty
B
Just a likkle jeans and a pure white tee
          G#m
She never did forever be nobody wifey, yeah
   F#                                            G#m
So while I may not pretty boy, your heart is amiss
                                  A#m
Play it like a villain 'cause she caught in a wave
  B
Tonight I am walkin' away
     G#m
9 to 5 mind, on the grind, yeah, yeah

[pre-chorus: wizkid]
F#                           G#m              A#m
 Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me
B                               G#m
 I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me
F#                             G#m                 A#m
 Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly
B                         G#m
 If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me

F#
Pose like a trophy when Naomis walk in
G#m                          A#m
 She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin
B
Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in
   G#m
Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in
F#
I think tonight she might braid her braids
G#m                   A#m
 Melanin too dark to throw her shade
    B
She minds her business and wines her waist
   G#m
Gold like 24k, okay

  F#                                        G#m
Oh, have you looked in the mirror lately? (Lately)
                     A#m

There's complexities in complexion
   G#m
But your skin, it glow like diamonds

Most things out of focus, view

But when you're in the room, they notice you (Notice you)

 'Cause you're beautiful
