Own Skin

They wanna keep us silent
Kaepernick's knee wasn't enough for the white men
But then again I got white friends
I'm thankful for that are not like them
Like who
Like racist dudes
Your time on Earth is overdue
You need to go to hell
I'll take you there myself
Wanted you to listen that's why we had to come yell
Or chant, or riot
Or whatever we decided
Fit our mood the best
Remove the stress
Eat food and rest
Return tomorrow
Rejuvenated
Losing patience
Why is this still happening
Way too many mannequins
That once vibrant life
That spark inside their eyes
Lost it in the fight
Might need to keep
A nine on my side
I don't wanna die
And if I do
I'm taking you on the ride

You can come in
Reppin' in your own skin
All my homies feel the same
You really should join the wave
You can come in
Reppin' in your own skin
All my homies feel the same
You really should join the wave

Been stuck in the same predicament
I'm living in
A racist world
I can't fit in
I don't deserve
These racial slurs
That I observe
On a day to day to day
Basis
I can hear 'em say the same
Lame shit
Ghetto like the kids I choose to hang with
But I don't bang shit
Now watch yo language
Fuck that
My favorite color's green and then black

I don't know why
They hate us on the low
Yea
If they try to take me out
They gon get this smoke
Yea
I don't know why
There's only hatred in their souls
Only wonder where'll go
Cuz soon it'll show
Soon it'll show

You can come in
Reppin' in your own skin
All my homies feel the same
You really should join the wave
You can come in
Reppin' in your own skin
All my homies feel the same
You really should join the wave
