melanin

All because Im black, black, thats my skin
My melanin, thats how its always been
All because Im black, thats why they treat me different
I talk, they dont listen, Im not playin the victim
I gotta say Im black and Im proud, yeah, say that shit loud, dont
Ever tell me tone that shit down, yeah
All because Im black, black, thats my skin
My melanin , thats how its always been
I thank God Im alive, sick of watchin my people die
Look at how they take a life, they go on the record and lie
Even though we seen it with our eyes (Our own eyes)
Do we really gotta a bad voice something like equal rights?
How long will you stand by and act surprised when people riot?
Do we really gotta bleed until its fight in the streets
For somebody to notice that we still aint free?
How many times you heard that I cannot breathe
When we get stopped by police?
All because Im black, black, thats my skin
My melanin, thats how its always been
All because Im black, thats why they treat me different
I talk, they dont listen, Im not playin the victim
I gotta say Im black and Im proud, yeah, say that shit loud, dont
Ever tell me tone that shit down, yeah
All because Im black, black, thats my skin
My melanin, thats how its always been
I thank God Im alive
