Skin

I see you driving in your car black man
I see you walking down the street black man
Do you hear those sirens
Oh my God those sirens
What am I to do
They're coming for you
It's just an everyday occurrence when ya in my shoes. I could be jogging in a park or hanging with my dudes When it comes to me I'm not really free tell me don't you see what's been bugging me

Tell me what you see when you look at me
Why can't you love me from within all you see is sin please don't judge my skin

I often see how they objectify you black girl
Yet deep inside invisibly inspired by ya
You lips, your curves it all started with you
You planted seeds you made this world so beautiful
Its just an every day occurrence when you're in my shoes I speak my mind they claim its an attitude
When it comes to me in not really free

Tell me don't you see whats been bugging me
Tell me what you see when you look at me
Why cant you love from within all you see is sin
Please don't judge my skin

Black woman hold your head up high girl please dry your eyes spread your wings and fly
Black man Know You're not alone never on you're own don't lose ur stride

2020's been a real year
I don't understand how we still here
All the blacks getting killed here
Being black in America, real fear
Land of the free is what the song say
Unless you black on the wrong day
Or talk back to a cop in the wrong way
You blink twice, you could lose your life
That's real life
We don't much, just a few things
Stop killing all my brothers like it's routine
Recognize a black woman as a true queen
And let us live on Juneteenth
I don't use my skin as a weapon
So you don't have to see it as threatening
At a time it just might get me killed
Still I feel being black is a blessing

Tell me what you see when you look at me
Why cant you love from within all you see is sin
Please don't judge my skin
