Mr. Melanin
Why is your lips like two different colors?
Why you people only raised by your mothers?
Why your lips chapped?
Why you so black?
Why they tell you to do this and then you do that?
Why your grades low?
Why your hair high?
Why y'all so loud?
Why y'all so proud?
Why you disobedient?
What is the ingredient?
Every other color winning (Pigment)
Why are you so different man I don't get it
Is it cuz of melanin?
Is it cuz your men have sinned?
Is it cuz of the music your culture be indulging
In?
Why are you not listening?
I'm going in
Aye turn me up a little bit (Let it rock)
Turn me up (Yeah, just like that)
Alright, keep the (Ayo)
Yeah
Mr. Melanin, please answer me
Yeah I have some questions see
Mr. Melanin, can't you see?
I have some questions, answer me
Mr. Melanin, please answer me
Yeah I have some questions, please
(Back to one)
Ayo
Why are y'all like so into violence
Causing riots just can't be quiet
Black lives matter man what a riot
All lives matter is not pseudoscience
I love black culture man I'm a client
But why 2 colors got y'all divided
Hustling, lying, cheating, breading, fighting
So much blood for blood; got bullets flying
Honestly, that's all I see on my end
What y'all really need is an uprising; elect a leader more like a tyrant
Who's not just saying things that are inspiring
I know you get bullied cuz of your pigment
But that's no reason you can't be winning
With y'all talent, you could be making a killing
Instead of roaming the streets looking for a living
Getting y'all bodies stacked up prison
And just blaming it all on cop suspicion
Honestly, that's all I see on my end
Honestly, that's all I see on my end
Honestly, that's all I see on my end
Honestly, that's all I see on my end
Collecting jewels and rocks that be shining
Stones and pearls on your neck really vibrant
Rap culture just got y'all feeling giant
On top of the world; you just feel like flying
Why you people only raised by your mothers?
Why your lips chapped?
Why you so black?
Why they tell you to do this and then you do that?
Why your grades low?
Why your hair high?
Why y'all so loud?
Why y'all so proud?
Why you disobedient?
