Melanin (Explicit)歌词完整版
I was taught to love you
So I never got to love myself
(Never got to love myself)
I tried my best to look like you
Until I, Until I forgot myself
Lost the future we forgot our past
Even though the masters gone
But still we slave shift
The master plan's a work of art
Only thing they ain't take from us
The rest is in copyright
That's why they never ever ever
Let us read and write
The war changed from battle cries
To more of a mental fight
See ourselves as enemies so we go and bleach our skin
Broken confidence
We patch it up with make up
All you want is light skin
Bare oska dlala letsatsing
Don't you want some complexion
If I had money I'd buy it
Hustle hard for that bleached skin
And fuck whatever lies within
Cause truth be told
This world is not melanin
Even though I am
I was taught to love you
So I never got to love myself
(Never got to love myself)
I tried my best to look like you
Until I
Until I forgot myself
How's my heritage wrong
But your influence is right
my brown skin black
And your pale skin is white
Badimo Baka blasphemous
But Jesus is God
I really think it's all misunderstanding
Hear me out
Badimo sound like God in my tongue
But they not
They my spirit guides
Yeah in english it's "polite"
When I say it in my tongue
It don't sound right
That's why we need our own google
That shows us that black is beautiful
For five hundred years you've shown me
What I mean to you
Put me in your curriculum
Told me to be more like you
Labeled me as crazy
When I
Start to tell the truth
Tired of playing victim
We can go
Guns blazing too
Not allowed to be angry
Though oppression still continues
They say silence is golden
A trait valued in slaves
White kids have been outspoken
We were taught obedience
The diary of a mad black women
Is still her body
We murder them for breakfast
The hate is deeply rooted
Can't touch the real enemies
So they are the better victims
Taught to take the punches
Cause I mean
That's what man do
As black as I am
Black Women the real victims.
