Thomas Who? - Melanin (feat. Jroc Obama) Lyrics

Look yo on the real
This beat gimme that feel
To grab the masses appeal and deliver lyrics that's real
We know it's real in the field
Why blood gotta be spilled
They killing off my people
The thought be giving me chills
Amendment two
My weapon often concealed
With the license that's going with it
That right was wrote on the bill
But yet we get harassed
And we wondering what da deal
And then we slammed and try to force us to kneel like we Shaquille
And I would never tell my people that they should kill but
The world cold
You gone shiver or knit a quilt
Talked to my patna
He 21 in the Cliff
And he said it's sad that I'm young and I'm sitting writing my will
Cause I don't know how long I got
Praying while being preyed on
Wonder how strong they plot
On young minorities
It's more of me to fill they lots
I send a message up to heaven like save my spot
Aye Is it freedom or we dumb free what u mean
Meaning are we really living
Or given the minimums just to be comfy
Do u stand tall and solid
Or fall and frolic
Meaning are you the wall or humpty dumpty

I think they jealous of our Melanin
They mad that they can't get it thru surgery
Tans and medicine
Police need better training
They so negligent
And they still beating murders
Judicial system irrelevant

I think they jealous of our Melanin
They mad that they can't get it thru surgery
Tans and medicine
Police need better training
They so negligent
And they still beating murders
Judicial system irrelevant

My melanin black as ancient astrology
And strong as every black body sold in building the colonies
Got a degree from a institution that lied to me
And told me I was equal but kept it out of they policies
Systemic the mission of the afflicted
Hands behind our back but they want us to keep them lifted
Privilege the symptom of your conditions
And my melanated view ill-equipped to fill the prescription
All I know is my black bold
And all the strength that I am is a product of my black soul
They want my body in a black hole
But I discovered that the depth of my struggle puddles black gold
There value in the pain, the powers in the sun but I found it in the rain
It's crazy that we lazy all the narratives they paint
Yet amazing that they flake if they stray away from shade
Huh

I think they jealous of our Melanin
They mad that they can't get it thru surgery
Tans and medicine
Police need better training
They so negligent
And they still beating murders
Judicial system irrelevant

I think they jealous of our Melanin
They mad that they can't get it thru surgery
Tans and medicine
Police need better training
They so negligent
And they still beating murders
Judicial system irrelevant
