Dark skin Quote by Chamillionaire
“Yeah, racist people look at me like I'm a martian, Check the card, yeah my money lookin dark skinned, Tell the bank teller the black President just walked in, Pac-Man with the grands, I'm, I'm starvin, Fresh to death feelin like I'm in a coffin, Take it with me, I'll get buried in my vault then.”
