Real Skin
All my life I thought
Did I my color really matter
No matter how much I had
On my plate
I gave my all to the ones I loved
Serve myself on a platter
I try not to stumble
Nor stammer
But I see through you
Like you see me
Going through a existential crisis
I’m just a broken racial mirror
With all these white folks
With white hoods
And fake goods
Gun smoke
Rid us like cannibals
Made us broke
Making blacks the most endangered
Animal
Being black then was back when
In their eyes time never passed
To prove we see the murders the masses
We Taking a time lapse
In their eyes were dirty roaches
Waiting to be squashed
Trying to lynch us and shoot us
Their own kids are brainwashed
With the color of my own skin
Black culture flows through my veils
Not edit
In their senses they hate us
But Racism isn’t genetic
To throw shade
We have just as much as you do
Each and everyone of us are humans
Just like you
We scream
BLACK LIVES MATTER
You say
All lives do
You try to protest our protest
But they always cared about you
No matter how many times
We struggle to the top
You’ve never
Seen us stop
And we seen our melanin
In your shops
You care bout our people
Questionable terms we retaliate
One bad move with governors or presidents
You just assassinate
I don’t cry whine
But it makes me sick
Cuz I’m just a young stubborn girl
But to them that doesn’t seem to..click
