about

The self-produced song «Coco Butter Skin» is an ode to the black woman. The attributes of black women oftentimes have been commercialized in the past without the originators of the trend being the main beneficiaries.

When MATONDO proudly sings about the shapes, colours and characteristics of her being, it is a testament to the self-acceptance she has gained as well as to the knowledge of the origin of these characteristics. MATONDO recommends: turn on the song and bounce until the critical voices in your own head fade away.

lyrics

Thick thighs
Big eyes
Coco Butter Skin

Big hair
Everywhere
Nothing here a sin

Round butt
Dark spots
I make your head spin

Flat feet
On the street
Still I’m gonna win

Straight waist
Round face
Nothing here too slim

Big nose
Cute toes
Loving my dark skin

(Loving my dark skin, ey)
(Loving my dark skin, ey)

All of them, all of them, wanna be me
All of them wanna be me
All of them, all of them, wanna be me
All of them wanna be me, but
Carefree is a kinda wishful state
A carefree life was never my fate

Good teeth
Lungs to breath
Rich country makes it real

Big head
Strong hands
I know how I make you feel

Lit dreams
Strong genes
I know that you could tell

Strong will
All the skills
I make it possible

But what they don’t see is
I work hard to be that free
But what they don’t see is
I work twice as hard to be that free, free

All of them, all of them, wanna be me
All of them wanna be me
All of them, all of them, wanna be me
All of them wanna be me
All of them, all of them, wanna be me
All of them wanna be me
All of them, all of them, wanna be me
All of them wanna be me, but
Carefree is a kinda wishful state
A carefree life was never my fate

(All of them wanna be me, wanna be me)
(All of them, all of them wanna be, wanna be me)
(All of them, all of them wanna be me)
