Melanin
Most girls wear makeup to cover minor flaws
Other girls wear makeup to cover it all, like me
I am insecurity
I get in ya conscience, boil down ya self-esteem and call that chemistry
I flip serenity to insanity
Positivity to negativity
I take your sense and make it my sense, so I snatch your sense and make it nonsense
I wish you would think your beautiful
It's not you, it's the chemicals
Nah its not you, it's the chemicals
Your primer, concealer, foundation, powder
Your contour, your bronzer, your blush and liner, and uh
You ain't looking like yourself no more
You went to red carpet from Eeyore
I see your tendency to try and cover me
But, I am ya, I am ya
I, I, I, I am ya insecurity, I am ya, I am ya
I am ya inse
I am ya inse
I am ya insecurity
Melanin Profilin'
We target
Red tags, they shoppin'
Foot tags, cold coffin
We intimidatin'
Is it cuz we wear crowns on a daily
But we stay humble
They wait for us to crumble, tumble
Mask off, no mumbles
This skin speaks volume
It glows and it sparkles
Yeah
This Melanin's good
This Melanin's hood
This Melanin's poppin'
This Melanin's good
This Melanin's hood
This Melanin's poppin'
Poppin', poppin', poppin', poppin'
Na Na Na Now Na Oh
(Ahhhh)
Now I'm not talking melanoma, melamine, melanism, no melanite, melanoid
I'm melanous, a melanist, full of melanin
Everybody talking but don't nobody be making sense
They saying make us great again
Make Oprah the President
I was made in her image
Yea, handful of magic
A ton of passion
Tongue lashes 'cause my attitude wore mama out
Can't wait to buy my mom a house
Going in circles like roundabouts
And if plan A don't work you find another route
I'm so in my zone
Yea, just leave me alone
'Cause all they do is look and lust
Getting tans to look like us
Everybody know we on
But they do us oh so wrong
Y'all know they do us oh so wrong
But even in the mist of the storm alright
All my people gon' be chanting
We gon' be alright
Everything done in the dark comes to light
And we gon' be good y'all, we gon' be good
Even in the mist of the storm alright
All my people gon' be chantin'
We gon' be alright
Everything done in the dark comes to light
And we gon' be good y'all, we gon' be good!
Ahhhhhh
Ba ba-doo'n da da'n dy
Ba ba-doo'n da da'n dy
Ahhh
Cuz even in the mist of the storm alright
All my people gon' be chanting
We gon' be alright
Everything done in the dark comes to light

Cuz even in the mist of the storm alright
All my people gon' be chanting
We gon' be alright
Everything done in the dark comes to light
