yonny - Rich in Melanin Lyrics

My skin is beautiful non removable
Yeah yeah
They emulate it with pharmaceuticals
Yeah yeah
My skin is one of kind, holy divine source
They hate it cuz when he made us he spent his time for us
I'm poor in wealth but rich in melanin yeah
It's hard to follow suite with no representative yeah
Black babies or crack babies both feel offended
Mix em both together we call that shit lightskinded

Repeated intrusive thoughts, I'm usually never at loss
For words
My skin is beautiful non refundable
See they way we grew up you would say that its quite dysfunctional
Complexity in my skin, don't mean I can't call ya twin
Today

A wise man once said he knows nothin at all
At all, yeah

Places
I seen different places
Never switching faces
I been rich in skin
Rich in skin
Rich in skin
No, I look thru my window
Knew just what I'm here for
I been rich in skin
Rich in skin
Rich in skin

My skin is traceable
My skin irreplaceable
Long way from apartheid
My nigga we all tied
Together like mob ties
Barettas and guns fly
Forever and ever ever

I can't explain it
It's contagious
Mood swings shift on
Daily basis
Yeah

Thats where the remedy starts
Hope it don't rip you apart
I felt this way from the heart
Soon as I begin you depart

Does variation in cellular code
Show that I'm different than those
Don't make feelings involved
Let your ideas indulge

Claim my lack of intelligence is
Due to silver and twists
But the difference is
Come take a look in my soul
I bet you stumble on gold, you know

A wise man once said
That I don't know shit
Matter fact I should plead the fifth
Kenfolk I've been

Places
I seen different places
Never switching up faces
I been rich in skin
Rich in skin
Rich in skin
No, I look thru my window
Knew just what I'm here for
I been rich in skin
Rich in skin
Rich in skin

Melanation its telling
I got this word straight from heaven
I heard this from father god
I promise you no facade
I done been up down all the roads
I been everywhere don't ya know
I been everywhere can't ya see
Like an effigy oughta be

My word profound in this
Know you hating the sound of this
400 years later
I know they didn't account for this here
I'm settled in my melanin it ain't a sin
To know that I been rich in my skin
