In my own skin
So filled with melanin
Threatened on a daily basis
When will it end
Black lives matter
Why is that when police say “freeze” we don’t move
They continue to shoot
Simply walk down the street with a hood on suddenly I’m a threat
R. I. P. Treyvon, Sandra , mike , and all people who experienced a white man’s hatred
I thank god for my ancestors and all they’ve fought for best believe the black community will continue to fight more
In my own skin
I have to be confident
When people say “you’re pretty for a black girl “ or “I don’t see color “
That ain’t no compliment
In my own skin
beauty outside and in
Black lives matter
