Skin
My skin
Been judged for the color of my skin
My skin
Same blood as you under my skin
You choose to be blind
Ignore all the signs
No matter where I go
I just can't win
My skin
Abrasive comments in the presence of a racist
My skin is like pen on paper you can't erase it
But why would I want to
Even tho they scared to approach you
Just make sure you holdin onto your conscience and all your morals
Because your skin ain't borrowed I'm tryna see tomorrow
Let's have a conversation and talk about the nation
Discrimination show even tho you decorate it
So hard to believe in things I once thought were sacred
My skin
Been judged for the color of my skin
My skin
Same blood as you under my skin
You choose to be blind
Ignore all the signs
No matter where I go
I just can't win
My skin
My Skin makes me proud to be black and brown
But we're in a time that so hard just to crack a smile
Cuz I can't stand to see a brotha gettin blasted down
And it's too much for your big head just to wrap around
All the evidence that's laid out proves it's too true
Of a murder we protest then Flip the script til it suits you
Reminded of our past through Netflix and Hulu
And it really hits when reality is displayed on You too
But y'all ain't hearing us it all falls on def ears
Black wall street swept under the rug, it disappears
I'm preachin' to a choir angered and few fear
365 of fighting and still at it next year
My skin
Been judged for the color of my skin
My skin
Same blood as you under my skin
You choose to be blind
Ignore all the signs
No matter where I go
I just can't win
My skin
I didn't choose the skin I'm in
But they try to crucify you like you did
Can we take it back to when we were kids
Where pigment was nonexistent
Where it was just about whether we were or whether we weren't decent
My skin
Been judged for the color of my skin
My skin
Same blood as you under my skin
You choose to be blind
Ignore all the signs
No matter where I go
I just can't win
My skin
Been judged for the color of my skin
My skin
Same blood as you under my skin
You choose to be blind
Ignore all the signs
No matter where I go
I just can't win
My Skin
My Skin
My Skin
Been judged for the color of my skin
My skin
Same blood as you under my skin
You choose to be blind
Ignore all the signs
No matter where I go
I just can't win
My skin
