I wonder what would happen if i bleached my skin What kind of twisted world i would live in If one day i decided to do what the world demanded And strip my melanin
I wonder what would happen if i burnt my hair to a crisp If barbie doll hair was on my birthday wishlist If one day i suddenly looked like Taylor swift
The problem with this fowl dream Is that it’s forgetting one thing The thing in which i live and breath My sanity
If one day i bleached my skin And society decided to let me in I would have tarnished God's creation For equality unnecessarily demanding humane unity And Maybe if i bleach my skin An officer wouldn’t shoot me But What should be happening is me taking a stand And saying it’s not him against me But us against the hatred that makes individuals choose me Single me out because of my skin Fearing me because i’m chock full of melanin Saying #allLivesMatter instead of #blackLivesMatter because if we let one house burn the rest of the town wins But at the bottom of this is was and always will be hatred And just because your side of the boat doesn’t have a hole doesn’t mean we’re not all sinking So i suggest you do something.
