Shaakira Rahnae - Skin Colors Lyrics




Shootings everyday huh?
You gotta blind eye to it all huh?
Fam in the hood
Get em out I would
Ya need wealth to do all et huh?
Let me tell you all about the struggle
We start at the bottom and we gotta hustle
What you know about growing up around drugs in these streets thats gonna never gonna love you
Just wanna stay out the way
Get it out the mud the best way
System keeps on holding me back
Here I go getting all taxed again
Politics the one to blame
Got me working hard
Going insane
Healthcare a joke
Why ain't these educators paid top-dollar, I'm just saying?
In school working 9-5 to pay Sallie Mae every month again
Life taught me how to be careful on who I trust and who I call a friend
Narcotics in the street going crazy
I guess they all in high demand
Everybody gram flexing tryna be the next new supply man
I just wanna log out the matrix
Save up and take a vacation
Use my four senses
Take a walk
Look in the sky and start meditating
Cause I know what it's like to live for the hype and live a life so basic
Trust me I got my own demons
I'll be the first the first one to say it

Everydays a battle
We still fighting
Keep killing us off
Yet we remain golden
Been praying for better days
While I'm hurting
You'll never feel my pain
Unless your skin colors the same

Us against them huh?
Kids all incarcerated huh?
Tryna get ahead
Keep the fam fed
It's so hard to be us why?
Questioning myself
When I look around there is no help
Hard to get a loan
We can't get along
Land We'll never own
I thought this the land of the free huh?
Why that store let Junior get slayed in street like that huh?
Why y'all think it's okay for y'all to take black lives huh?
I pray my voice is what the people need
To see the light that's all inside of me
Let's begin by spreading love
We gotta take care of you and me
No shame to rebukin a devil
They can't stand a black woman who's a rebel
I want that world peace I won't settle
My wordplay on a whole nother level
You ain't talking bout nothing
Money this, sex that, straight thuggin
Rappers needa stop promotin things we should let go and stop frontin
Got my nieces looking up to me
My lil bro 11 almost six feet
Had to explain the other day
Why hes a target to any police that's in the streets
Oh no You have no idea what its even like to be me
When you gotta look ova ya shoulder Praying that you'll make it home safely

Everydays a battle
We still fighting
Keep killing us off
Yet we remain golden
Been praying for better days
While I'm hurting
You'll never feel my pain
Unless your skin colors the same

Melanin
Melanin
Melanin
They want it
Melanin
Melanin
Melanin
They want it
Melanin
Melanin
Melanin
They want it
You want it
I got it
If you got it
They robbin
