Ladies and gents, brown melanin
Creamy caramel, rockin' that smooth complex
And the darker you are, the sweeter your cocoa is
Sunkissed healthy, Ms. Organic
You gotta represent all the colors in the house
though the rainbows are nice, gotta bring out the browns
let me tell you now, this is how it goes down
Shoutout to my people around
From the 562 to the East Coastin' states
Going down south to my Latina ladies
Indiginous sisters, and my Afrikan queens
Asian Pacific all the way to Southeast
Khmer Vietnamese Burmese Laos Thailand
Stop these wars over borders
This was never our land
We're the children of the sun
Once we cared for the Earth
but they'll take it and rape it
Compare you to dirt
We'll struggle together, but we're still all the same
Our people united if we learn to embrace this
Beauty and Grace that our mothers did bring
Original style, no more whitening cream
Natural vitamin D, yes my tans are for free
Don't know about you, but I love being me.
