[Spoken]
See, you, you in there dancin' and I'm in here needing questions answered

[Chorus]
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down
Can't, can't can't can't (hey)
Can't, can't can't can't keep a good man down

[Spoken]
I'm in here needing questions answered

[Chorus]
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

[Bridge]
It's a skin game (oh, just a skin game)
Just a skin game
Let's play the skin game

[Chorus]
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down
Can't, can't can't can't (hey)
Can't, can't can't can't keep a good man down

The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down

(Skin game)
(Sing it for the people y'all)
(Skin game)
(Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it again)

The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around (skin game)
But you can't keep a good man down
Can't, can't can't can't (hey)
Can't, can't can't can't keep a good man down
The skin game is still around (skin game)
(See you, you in there dancin')
(And I'm in here needin' questions answered)
But you can't keep a good man down (playin' the skin game)
The skin game is still around

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
