La chanteuse jamaïcaine Spice a frappé un gros coup avec son dernier single "Black Hypocrisy". Spice nous a habitué à des textes féministes, comme ses consoeurs Lady Saw et dans un autre style Judith Mowatt, Sista Nancy, Queen Omega ou encore Tanya Stephens. "Black Hypocrisy" est un morceau 100% engagé, ou Spice nous délivre un véritable cri du coeur "I was told I would reach further, If the colour of my skin was lighter, And I was made to feel inferior, Cah society say brown girls prettier..."

Lyrics Spice - Black Hypocrisy
It's not what you expect me to say
But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway
'Cause...
I was told I would reach further
If the colour of my skin was lighter
And I was made to feel inferior
Cah society say brown girls prettier
Me love the way me look, me love me pretty black skin
Respect due to me strong melanin
Proud a me colour, love the skin that I'm in
Bun racism, demolish colourism
But the things weh me a go say
You might not even have me back
I get hate from my own race, yes, that's a fact
'Cause the same black people dem say I'm too black
And if you bleach out your skin dem same one come a chat
Well, since you say that I'm too black for you
I'll please you, do I look how you want me to?
Now I'm gonna see if you gonna say I'm too brown for you
Or do I look pretty to you?
Black people hypocrisy
Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem
Unno gwaan like say you haffi brown fi pretty
Fuck the whole a dem dirty iniquity
This a black people hypocrisy
Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem
I'm black and beautiful, I know I'm pretty
Fuck the whole a dem dirty iniquity
Dem say me black till me shine, till me look dirty
And it's the only line in life that weh ever hurt me
Because it never come from a Caucasian, trust me
This a black colourism, big hypocrisy
So if I wake up tomorrow look like a browning, oh!
Automatically me would a carry the swing?
Nuff a unno nah go like da song yah me sing
Because a nuff a unno guilty fi the same damn thing
What's your perception of a pretty woman?
Is it straight nose with her hair well long?
Black girls lose self confident
'Cause they attach the word "ugly" to our complexion
Well, since you say that I'm too black for you
I'll please you, do I look how you want me to?
Now I'm gonna see if you gonna say I'm too brown for you
Or do I look pretty to you?
Black people hypocrisy
Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem
Unno gwaan like say you haffi brown fi pretty
Fuck the whole a dem dirty iniquity
This a black people hypocrisy
Leave the girls dem with low self-esteem
I'm black and beautiful, I know I'm pretty
Fuck the whole a dem dirty iniquity
It's not what you expect me to say
But I'mma go ahead and say it anyway
