Although some think it’s a sin
I love the skin I’m in
I’ve been blessed with melanin
To God be the glory
Now I’ll tell my story
I’ve been demonized
I’ve been ostracized
Again and again
For the skin I’m in

Some push me away
But God blesses me every day
Some don’t know who I am
They think it’s a sham
Some wish I weren’t alive
But God has shown me how to survive
Oh yes, I’ve been demonized again and again
For the skin I’m in

Some try to hold me down
But I’ll never wear a frown
One thing is clear
My God is always near
I’m the target of hate
But my faith makes me great
Oh yes, I’ve been demonized again and again
For the skin I’m in

Some are afraid of my power
But I consult God hour after hour
Right or wrong
He keeps me strong
His word keeps me wise
As quickly as I fall I rise
God didn’t make a mistake
He knows how much I can take
But oh yes, I’ve been ostracized again and again
For the skin I’m in
