Melanin
The vessel that pops and screams to be free
But constantly neglecting because of my skin.
The thrown your so high on, has you corrupted
What happen to just fighting for justice, but instead fighting for readjustments.
Looking for the next victim walking, with glistening melanin popping
Look in the rearview mirror, what do you see?
A black face covered in a hoodie, do i seem like threat or maybe just a easy kill.
You think twice of the bullet connecting with my skin, if you knew it was your life coming to an end
That sinister grin that held you so comfortably. But it all fade when commotion shatters
Innocence beyond the free, bound to never be. I see you can't stand to be near me.
My color seems to upset you.
My stride that's full of pride bothers you
My innocence taken away enlightens you
Maybe Stevie Wonder was right.
What's so wonderful about world that can't stand our power of melanin.
Crawling for dear mercy, because of the powerful controversial. Black people stand up. Fighting for Rights that seem to unjustified. Remember the Walk, King lead for equality.
Put yourself in the equation, add it up and just maybe it'll seem rational
But equality doesn't even seem to be a problem anymore just an expression with the same typical answer.
Call on the ancient power, the power of the brain and the power to not go insane. Put your ear to ground and lets start a war.
Pavement below holds us up, but are we doing to keep it solid
The momentum of blacks elevates the world. One for one and one for all. Let's not just stand, but rise for better meaning.
Living in a war zone, without any type of paradise; Half of HUMANITY doesn’t even see it
Communities ruined, Families decreasing, Fatherless sons, Motherless daughters
All for your own secrete union
Horrifying screams rupture your eardrums
Vision becomes blurry from constanting crying
Bodies laying lifeless, with no type of remorse
But you don’t see me!
The richness of my melanin…. I’m only your muse with no instant of regret
Do you sense the tension all over you? Or maybe the blindness of this fucked up ECONOMY?
Afraid to step over a caucasian territory, Because the RISK of being KILLED.
Our voices have became Vain.
No reason to stand still.
