Tamera LaShawn - Brown Skin Lyrics

It's getting late
Up all night
Wondering
Pondering
Where have I been
Why have I worried
Looks don't phase
They're interesting
How am I different
When we're the same
You try to tame me
But I think you're lame
The difference is
I have melanin
They look at us
Instantly judge
What they see
Is beyond their reach
Talk to your babies
And let them know
That they are perfect
That's the way it goes
If they ask why
Let the truth be told

My brown skin
Comes in different shades
We're so unique we're not the same
My brown skin
Were so gorgeous
Every shade
Beyond flawless

The world will teach you
That there's something wrong
What they don't know
Is you run the show
Look in the mirror
At your brown skin
Tell yourself
That you're going to win
They wanna be you
But they don't know how
From your hair to your skin
Duplicate it somehow
Hold your head up
And walk with pride
You're gonna make it
If you try

My brown skin
Comes in different shades
We're so unique we're not the same
My brown skin
Were so gorgeous
Every shade
Beyond flawless
