Would you, just look at my melanin, deep end we delving in You only scratched the surface if it’s just becoming evident We outside but we already been prevalent They be hatin’ but self love is the medicine Look, black and beautiful, a force that’s immovable Too much ambition to stay stuck up in a cubicle Keep ya head up even when they try to ridicule Lately been goin’ even harder than the usual Melanin is a God send, put context to concept My content is dominant, my conscience is conscious We winnin, no contest, dial tone to nonsense Black like onyx, rare like black diamonds Cleopatra to Pocahantas, been runnin' it Too much to count mileage, the aura is constant I know you see the rose gold skin tone from fire and brim stone Shame if you just catchin’ on now ‘cause we been known Bout this melanin, deep end we delving in You only scratched the surface, if its just becomin' evident We outside but we already been prevalent They be hatin’ but self love is the medicine Look at my melanin, deep end we delving in You only scratched the surface if it's just becomin evident We outside but we already been prevalent They be hatin’ but self love is the medicine A rose that grew from the concrete, my mouth speak what my mind think We won't stop, not until the mission’s complete Lift up our black kings appreciate our black queens God bless our black babies as they grow to black teens Never lacking gratitude, black is my attitude They still hatin’ still I rise, Maya Angelou Say it loud say it proud kin Jesus wasn’t white, nah he had brown skin Nice try tryna teach us to hate ourselves You ain’t nowhere near as great as you portray yall selves Life or liberty crazy how you can betray yall selves Keep playin’ wit us we as well can make the AR yell To protect this melanin, deep end we delving in You only scratched the surface, if it’s just becoming evident We outside but we already been prevalent They be hatin’ but self love is the medicine Look at my melanin, deep end we delving in You only scratched the surface if it’s just becomin' evident We outside but we already been prevalent They be hatin’ but self love is the medicine, yeah Look at that brown skin glisten The sun just kissed it Rose gold dipped it Twice shy once bitten Our voices lifted To the rightful position You couldn’t comprehend it Not unless you lived it Nah we aint fallin’ for your panderin’ Behind our back, close doors, you be slanderin’ But they still ain’t understandin’ it You would think we speakin’ Mandarin
