Memoirs Of My Melanin

Black, brown & tan✊🏽It’s what I am✊🏾Sunday’s best on Monday✊🏿To sit at a stand ✊🏽Why sit at a stand✊🏾If I don’t stand a chance✊🏿Black, brown & tan✊🏽Is all they see✊🏾If they don’t see color✊🏿Then they won’t see me✊🏽Statistically, is that all I can be?✊🏾Black, brown & tan✊🏿Is what I was taught✊🏽White collar crime✊🏾Is good if you don’t get caught✊🏿the hood was the only place that drugs could be bought✊🏽Same place put you on✊🏾Same place you’ll get offed✊🏿Black, brown & tan✊🏽Is what makes us feared✊🏾Not the truth from my lips✊🏿But the curls in my hair?✊🏽I learned the history that they kept from me, they should be scared✊🏾Black, brown & tan✊🏿It’s what I am✊🏽It’s who I am✊🏾Don’t touch my crown✊🏿You won’t understand✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
