Unprivileged Skin

Unprivileged skin, unprivileged skin, they hunt us down, we animals again
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, they stop and stare, they want my melanin
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, dark and lovely, look how its glistenin
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, we hold the light, its shining bright within

Religion been lost to me since
I saw how many times a nigga had to repent, and at whose expense
Take everything away until they commit or commit a crime
With enough time to spend their whole life in the pen
Then hand you a rap sheet three pages long to go out and start over again
Now that don't make no sense
Prison's the number one priority, for people who's skin that's as dark as me
We haven't been given equality
And that bothers me, undoubtedly, hear me when I say this
You people can try to stop it from spreading
But my negus are gonna replay this til we make it
And we aint gone fake it, we need these stars with star power to
Step up and say shit, but these niggas ashamed
They worried about they pockets, so when they act like they down
For the cause tell em to stop it

Unprivileged skin, unprivileged skin, they hunt us down, we animals again
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, they stop and stare, they want my melanin
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, dark and lovely, look how its glistenin
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, we hold the light, its shining bright within

Look at what happened to Trayvon
Look at what happened to Mike Brown, man down, hands up
This aint no party bitch wake up, the shit on the tv is made up
To stir the race debates up, possibly stir up the hate
In us, when its all lies, who can you trust
The answer will not be Jesus, they gave us that shit to appease us and
Police us, brutality helping them chop our race up into pieces
We been on the chopping block, all because they
Can't stop our rising stock, the manual labor we put in
This nation was built by the blackest of men, Kings, Queens, Common folk
Our black race has become a joke with no punchline and that's fine
My negus all know that its Crunch time for lunch time, we eating
The system we gone be defeating has been cheating our people
And other Indigenous people of this region

Unprivileged skin, unprivileged skin, they hunt us down, we animals again
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, they stop and stare, they want my melanin
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, dark and lovely, look how its glistenin
Unprivileged skin, look at my unprivileged skin, we hold the light, its shining bright within

For Sergeant James Brown, Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin
Sandra Bland, Kendrick James, Brandon Tate Brown
And all the other minorities that suffer at the hands of an unjust system
We don't want revenge for their deaths, we
Just want justice for the tragedies that seem to happen to just us
When we say that black lives matter
Its not anymore than anyone else's lives but equally as everybody else's lives
Big Sean says that one man can change the
World, well I say one person can, is that person you
