Lyrics
There are so many reasons
Why people tear apart
But races, borders, ethnics
Should never be one
Between our hands, this present
I choose to share with you
In threat for those who judge you
For who you are, what you do
There are so many reasons
Why people tear apart
but races, borders, ethics, should Never be one
I want to be your squire
Don't want to stay quiet
When they abusing sisters, brothers, folks and lovers
There's no human way to bear what you intake
Like a snake, to change your skin, and what it means
So much stories written on your melanin
So much I still have to unlearn, from within
If my skin could talk (If your skin could talk)
What would it say (I want to hear it scream)
Four thousand years (of oppression)
Have you cry in rage (if your skin could talk)
It's enough to be a woman
In this world full of men
Gotta prove that I am strong
Gotta prove that i fit in
Dodge the sexist bullets
But the feelings still remain
And then you talk about my skin
Like it's another race
I'm fed up with being treated,
Being treated this way
When I feel like any other
I'm not treated the same way
It's enough to be a lesbian
In a society full of heteros
I dodge their ignorance cuz I don't,
Conform to their ways
I don't conform to their ways.
I don't conform to their ways
I don't conform to their ways
If my skin could talk (this is what it'd say)
If my skin could talk (this is what it'd say)
If my skin could talk (this is what it'd say)
If my skin could talk
But to be confronted by authorities
For the color of my skin,
To be treated like an alien
Cuz I don't fit their image
It's alot a lot a lot
I had enough, I had enough
It's a lot a lot a lot
I said
Build a path of liberty where our voices remain
Hold together all the weight of history
March together now towards this great future
Yea, building great future
If my skin could talk (this is what it'd say)
If my skin could talk (this is what it'd say)
If my skin could talk (this is what it'd say)
If my skin could talk
