Melanin

For mi melanin, they call the police

For mi melanin, they call the police
Blood spillin' all in these streets
Government want to redline with me
Sacrifices, me ah made, for my people 'cross seas

Pray for a blesso, co-exist in a tempo
Still, people suffer for contentment, oh-oh yes

I miss my mama, maybe I should call her (Mm-hmm)
Lately, she been praying for me, worried (Oh)
It's been raising hell up in these cities (Uh-huh)
Too many been dyin' for they pigment (Uh-huh)

I been paranoid, the feds are watching (Mm-hmm)
Bruddas movin' packs to keep it steady (Mm-hmm)
Too many been acting, they ain't active (Mm-hmm)
I don't need you perfect, just stay solid (Oh-oh, yeah)

I don't need you perfect
Just stay solid for me, oh
You done seen some things
That need some healing for your soul

(I can feel it) The way you touch up on me
The way you wine it 'pon me
My touch set you free
I miss you on me

Pray for a blesso, co-exist in a tempo
Still, people suffer for contentment, oh-oh yes

PTSD, stress, anxiety
Seems like the everyday normality, oh
Wish I can go back to simpler times
In the island, just me 'n' mines

For mi melanin, they call the police
Blood spill- all in these streets
Unwind ya mind and smoke one with me
Take ya time and undress all your stress in these sheets, oh
