S.K.I.N

We got Brown Skin and Brunt skin

But some kids wanna remove they

Skin cause it ain’t white skin

White skin privilege gives me the right to

Act like an ass in the middle of the day

To cut off you nose to spit your face

We got light skin and dark skin sometimes

 Yo’ granny

Eats

Chicken skin

My skin is smooth as the sun in a ray

Of light

And you…. well it’s DARK

And BLACK

And BURN

I got light skin and brown skin

That makes this morena skin

You can’t tell me god was color

Blind when he made me cause I got

Black skin it ain’t as privileged

 Or as dainty as you and not as

Calm as you think

MY skin can tell you the tides' rolling

In by the goose bumps I get

Or that the summer heat is too much

 For you…and your white skin

 to handle

So I tell you to go on back on n’ and

Hide your   skin

MY skin talks to god on a

Daily base

 And you can only see him on Sunday

When the sun is not at it fullest

I have skin connect to my granny’s granny’

And her granny for that fact

So I will tell you take you white skin and

 You can stick it in the place where the sun

Don’t shine on…

White skin in the face of black skin

Black skin on the sun and moon of

Brown skin in the clay pots of

Yellow Skin on empty canvasses

Of burning flamed

Red Skin showing blood and purity of

Colored

S.K.I.N.

Sophisticated

Kind

Independently

Nappy

Can you see my skin…And feel my skin!…

Touch smell and taste my cultured skin.
