The Flesh I'm In
The flesh i'm in gets downgraded
Downgraded to where people with the same golor flesh die
The flesh i'm in is beautiful
It is strong, brave, and thick
My flesh and i fight battles you won't even think of
You look at me different because I'm darker than you
Maybe it's because im just as intellgent as you
Or way more brilliant than you
Do you still think I'm your slave
Still bathing your children
Cooking your food
Kneeling at your feet
You brutally beat me
He had a dream for all of my people to be free
But yet in your eyes i'm still down on my knees kissing
Your feet
You fail to realize I am just like you
I am human like you
I breathe the same air as you
I bleed the same blood as you
We are just two different complexions
Yo need to accept me for me and not for what you think of me
I am black and I am Proud
NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT!
