Mela(To)Nin

It's been a while since I've felt like I could sleep
Because the world is crumbling down right at my feet
You think you got some answers there for me?
I'm far too tired for empty, lazy empathy

The way that I'm feeling ain't nothing new
My patience is thin and I'm telling you
I've always felt this way inside my skin
I'm tracking traumas, dodging drama
The world is broke, but I've got hope
There's power inside this melanin

I close my eyes and start to Martin Luther dream
We got our eyes taped open, still can barely see
The cries crescendo; things are feeling bleak
I am to be the luminary that you seek

The way that I'm feeling ain't nothing new
My patience is thin and I'm telling you
I've always felt this way inside my skin
I'm tracking traumas, dodging drama
The world is broke, but I've got hope
There's power inside our melanin
Inside our melanin
