I was born with melanin

From head to toe

One thing I know

This thing called pride

I shouldn’t hide

I’m here for a reason

I celebrate every season

I play to win

And I love the skin I’m in

As I look in the mirror

It all becomes clearer

God didn’t make a mistake

I’ve learned to give and take

I ignore naysayers

As I say my prayers

I play to win

And I love the skin I’m in

I don’t deny what’s true

Faith carries me through

Some try to put me down

But God put me on solid ground

No matter what they say

God will lead the way

I play to win

And I love the skin I’m in
