Skin is nothing more than a covering for our bodies
Complete with different shades and degrees
Absolute black and white doesn't exist here

Everything runs and functions for our needs
From our crown to our golden cleats
Absolute black and white doesn't exist here

Do not criminalize the nurturing bosom or the broad shoulders
Each divine part and form are apart of all human life holders
Black and White still doesn't exist

Both hold beauty and magnificence, male, and female
Lost ones make corruptions to their vessels that will forever dwell
Defile it they may, but black and white doesn't exist
