[Dirt Gritie]
As a young buck I grew up tell me if you relate 
In a school system where there was hardly another race 
But still I shine I recognized 
Nine times out of ten it was me they recognized 
Even if they never saw me commit a crime 
The color of my skin stands out in the mind 
So now it is time to decide 
How I will be perceived and recognized 
As a thuggy, hustler from the gutty 
When I can be more then what the world expects of me 
A leader, a scholar like Frederick D 
Or inspire generations like Booker T 
About my heroes nobody told me 
Used to think being Jamaican is what black means 
Slang, prison and baggy jeans 
This is the black media painted me

[Oozeela – Chorus – 1X]
From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change 
From the time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face 
You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay 
But them say 
Gwan with your chocolate face 
Oozee gwan with your chocolate face

[Arlo Maverick]
Black babies that grew in the 80s 
Weren't privy to the treatment my color see lately 
Take the bitter with the sweet, and look for balance 
The innocence of my childhood, corrupt by challenge 
It should of been about going and playing 
What should a 5-year-old kid know about racism? 
Visible minority they made that clear 
I had a chocolate face and carpet hair 
Instead of making it seem like were all one race 
They let you know that you're different from a very young age 
From the looks you get to the names that you're called 
Kids could be cruel but is their fault? 
Where does this come, tell me cousin? 
Why they making jokes about me being burnt in the oven? 
Eventually it takes a toll on the minds of children 
Who hate themselves for being different 

[Oozeela – Chorus – 1X]
From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change 
From the time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face 
You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay 
But them say 
Gwan with your chocolate face 
Oozee gwan with your chocolate face

Il a traversé l atlantique des antilles 
Abords d'un nuages magique fantastique 
Vers un pays du nord de l'amerique 
Venant d un petit coin de mère afrique 
Il avait des rêves magnifique et des contes 
Historique,mais dois vivre des études académiques 
Sur sa passion qui est la musique, la musique, (Face de sexy chocolat)
 Sur sa passion qui est la musique 
Fréquanter des écoles, 1, 2, 3, 4, lave toi la face 
1,2,3,4 lave toi la face 
Fréquanter des écoles, 1, 2, 3, 4, lave toi la face 
1, 2, 3, 4 lave toi la face, choco,c hoco, choco 
Choco, choco, éuh, éuh, choco, choco, éuh, éuh, éuh 
Chocolat MAMA ÉÉÉ

From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change 
From the time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face 
You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay 
But them say 
Gwan with your chocolate face 
Oozee gwan with your chocolate face

[Oozeela]
Out of all the men on earth she said she wanted to date me 
But this loving that she gave me was so humiliating 
She gave me everything that Jah Jah could have created 
But the forces all around us did it all to prevent it 
She really, really loved me when she said it she meant it 
I really, really loved her and the time that we spent 
But I could never buy the ring for me to take she away 
'Cause daddy nah want grandchild with a chocolate face 
So I said... "Yes I am a Natty Dread but the gals them love me still 
All sizes and colours "but this is what he said... 
"Although you might find me weird you're the coolest man I've met 
But I just cannot say yes go find someone else instead!" 
But what does it matter if we all bleed red? 
What does it matter if we all sleep dead? 
What does it matter if we all are created? 
What does it matter? 

[Oozeela – Chorus – 1X]
From the time wi gwan a foreign you know say that my life's about to change 
The time we reach the town them all a call me chocolate face 
You know a so me born and you know say a so me stay 
But them say 
Gwan with your chocolate face 
Oozee gwan with your chocolate face
