Pigments In My Skin

Verse:
Let’s talk about the killing of Breonna Taylor
Time over Time
man, The government fail us
Swear to protect
But instead they betray us
We can’t be free
When their plan is to jail us

And what about the slaying
Of brother George Floyd
you let it happen
On your soil
I wonder how you treat us
Behind closed doors
I can hear the cries...
Huh...

Chorus:
Oh why oh why
The hatred
I Don’t understand the feeling
White, black so what’s
The difference
It’s Just pigments in my skin
How can you hate my people
We birthed the whole universe
That melanin
Worth billions
Those pigments in my skin

You don’t respect me
Coz I’m black
I get pulled over
Coz I’m black
I’m black and I’m proud
And they don’t like that
From the womb
With a target
On my back
Navigate the stars stars
We did that
Fought all the wars
We did that
Black samouraï
We were that
You should respect me
Coz I’m black

Verse:
Black man
Black man
It’s like they never see you Other than a
black man
Roxanne
Roxannne
Dont you let your daughter grow to be a
Karen
Klans man
Klan man
We bleed the same blood
So why you fighting
You don’t want to see us free?
Huh...


Chorus:
Oh why oh why
The hatred
I Don’t understand the feeling
White, black so what’s
The difference
It’s Just pigments in my skin
How can you hate my people
We birthed the whole universe
That melanin
Worth billions
Those pigments in my skin

You don’t respect me
Coz I’m black
I get pulled over
Coz I’m black
I’m black and I’m proud
And they don’t like that
From the womb
With a target
On my back
Navigate the stars stars
We did that
Fought all the wars
We did that
Black samouraï
We were that
You should respect me
Coz I’m black

Bridge:
In my skin
Try living in my skin
In my skin
Try living in my skin
In my skin
Try living in my skin
In my skin
Try living in my skin


Chorus:
Oh why oh why
The hatred
I Don’t understand the feeling
White, black so what’s
The difference
It’s Just pigments in my skin
How can you hate my people
We birthed the whole universe
That melanin
Worth billions
Those pigments in my skin

You don’t respect me
Coz I’m black
I get pulled over
Coz I’m black
I’m black and I’m proud
And they don’t like that
From the womb
With a target
On my back
Navigate the stars stars
We did that
Fought all the wars
We did that
Black samouraï
We were that
You should respect me
Coz I’m black
