[Lyric] Melanin (Liv Grace)

[Pre-Chorus]
Fists up, fros out
We ain’t gotta be slicked back
Edged up, iced out
Know you likin’ this durag
Know you like how I do that
Copy, paste, for your new mag
Kicks on, nails long
Sendin’ out all these new fads
Squad in the cut, so wassup?
Big talk, but you can not back it up
Caught you taking pics of all this drip do not pretend
How you hate my skin but you want my melanin?
Squad in the cut, so wassup?
Big talk, but you can not back it up
Caught you taking pics of all this drip do not pretend
How you hate my skin but you want my melanin?
Melanin
My mela--

[Chorus]
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
[Verse 1]
(Ha, Ha, Ha)
Quite the necessity that’s why they checkin’ me
Afraid of the dark
But use all my Ebonics
To increase their following
Can’t stand my locs
Are topping the charts
So they try to say they not quality
Pleased with my people aesthetically
Turned off the TV once we go from silent to deafening
(Ha, Ha, Ha)
Love me
Then they hate me
(Ha, Ha, Ha)
Tell you why it makes me crazy
Picture’s crystal clear
But still the conversation’s hazy
Wonder what it’s like to get the culture not the aching

[Pre-Chorus]
Fists up, fros out
We ain’t gotta be slicked back
Edged up, iced out
Know you likin’ this durag
Know you like how I do that
Copy, paste, for your new mag
Kicks on, nails long
Sendin’ out all these new fads
Squad in the cut, so wassup?
Big talk, but you can not back it up
Caught you taking pics of all this drip do not pretend
How you hate my skin but you want my melanin?
Melanin
My mela--
[Chorus]
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)
Y'all love my black skin (Melanin, my mela--)

[Verse 2]
Shaku and gwara but don’t want to post about sars
Afrobeats blast in your cars
Sportin' the same braids that y’all cut off our heads to dehumanize us
Camina conmigo
And go with my people
Don’t worry, it’s safe
Long as there ain’t no popo
Hope that you liking the sound of my voice
Cause it ain't going nowhere until we all equal AH
Hold up, hold up, hold up Issa black out black out
All my people flood the streets
Nah we won’t back down back down
Claiming that your country great
Yo this ain’t even yo house
Revolution is a’coming so ya betta watch out, oh!

[Pre-Chorus]
Fists up, fros out
We ain’t gotta be slicked back
Edged up, iced out
Know you likin’ this durag
Know you like how I do that
Copy, paste, for your new mag
Kicks on, nails long
Sendin’ out all these new fads
[Outro]
Love me then they hate me
Y'all love my black skin
Y'all love my black skin
Y'all love my black skin
Y'all love my black skin
