beautiful black skin
Black blood make the grass grow in the ghetto
And this is a cycle that unfolds in my view
I was born in a world where hate will consume
Really blinding the majority from facing the truth
I can see how my folks dazed and confused
When you live in a nation always preying on you
Momma looking stressed always praying for you
Black folk can't prosper
Cause they praying you lose
Daily reminded my black skin
Black black black
Black that, black this
It could make you self hate
See your skin different
I'm just glad I love myself like Kendrick
No they won't hurt me again
Royalty all in my skin
I feel it low
And I don't even know where to begin
They won't hurt me again
I was made in the image of him
Made in the image of Lord
So I can not fall
Beautiful black skin
Beautiful accent
Beautiful black people
Beautiful blackness
Beautiful black skin
Beautiful magic
Beautiful black skin
Beautiful magic
They be making creams
Just to change our pigment
Shit gets deep
Brainwashing black children
Saying real beauty
Comes from way lighter skin
Black love don't exist
Eradicate from within
My people been hunted way too many decades
American dream, bold lie to our faces
You could really get all the money in the world
But being black that is something you're not escaping
But I just wanna rise
Please no more hashtags tonight
Praying for my niggas like
"We gone be alright
I know they wanna cut your wings off
But young nigga fly
All my young niggas ride
And we gone do it til we die"
A lot of black kings in the grave right now
Rest in paradise
But on this mic, they come alive
I got Martin right on my side
And Malcolm said "You can lead them all"
You can really be that fucking guy
Cause I was feeling ugly
Self esteem issues had me thinking they couldn't trust me
Another black guy controlled by white money
They killed Nipsey, made it look just like nothing
And they still saying
"Nigga have pride for my country"
I can't even show emotions
Shit been roller coasting
Feeling like I'm about to lose my mind
Or just fucking blow it
Feeling like I'm about to lose my mind
Need a fucking moment
Beautiful black skin
The only thing that got me coping
No they won't hurt me again
Royalty all in my skin
I feel it low
And I don't even know where to begin
They won't hurt me again
I was made in the image of him
Made in the image of Lord
So I can not fall
Beautiful black skin
Beautiful accent
Beautiful black people
Beautiful blackness
Beautiful black skin
Beautiful magic
Beautiful black skin
Beautiful magic
And this is a cycle that unfolds in my view
I was born in a world where hate will consume
Really blinding the majority from facing the truth
