SkyBlew
I Paint The Sky,Blew But still a black boy
Comfy in the skin that I'm in, you think we lack joy
Breaking stereotypes through soundbites
Africa to Crown Heights
There's black, light, brown types
Chocolate boy and proud, my spirit is not destroyed
My kind you can not avoid
We still here
And beautiful like the woman who adopted me
An Ebony Queen, who Dreams properly
Black as Gladys Knight on that midnight train
Durag over the dome, soundwaves in the brain
Mind of Huey with the swagger of a Riley
Came from the boondocks, raised off the Tribe and Isleys
Inventors, the soul is within us
I ain't talking sunday dinner
Melanated on the surface and the center
Some view us as sinners, but we're winners
No pretenders, the original vendors of black splendor
Remember
Mega Ran
Hold fast to dreams, for if they Die
Life ain't nothing but a broken winged bird
And I wanna fly
Past the racists who frown when they see brown faces
Smile at em, cause hate can't drive out hatred
Love is the weapon, that I choose to wield
We been fighting tooth and nail, every day
I hear another gruesome tale
About a black death, for infringing on they privileges
Stay limited, or I soar like Mae Jamison
Black like licorice, Unapologetically
Genetically, I can't hold back or let it be
Black like the fist on my Afro pick
It's why my naps so thick, why my cap don't fit
Or Why when I walk by cats activate they car locks
Blackness is acceptance to the School of Hard Knocks
Cap and gown In the back of the crowd
Hear me rappin it loud, that I'm black and I'm proud
