Some dislike the melanin in me
But I know what’s meant to be
Some look at me with scorn
Yet my heart isn’t torn
Some think I don’t belong
But faith keeps me strong
Some have a mission
To cloud my vision
But God set my path
Without unleashing His wrath
Some look at me with fear
But God almighty is near
Some try to put me down
Yet they never make me frown
Some try to interrupt my race
But I move with God’s amazing grace
Some wonder what I know
But faith helps me grow
Some don’t understand
That God holds my hand
Some wonder about my purpose
But I see it lying at the surface
Some wonder where I roam
But I have my own home
Faith helps me win
I love the skin I’m in
Some have a slanted view
Of how I make it through
Some scream and yell
About me doing well
Some wonder why I smile
Even laugh a little while
Some try to silence my voice
As I begin to rejoice
Some don’t know my name
And try to fill me with shame
Some want what’s mine
But my world view is fine
Faith helps me win
I love the skin I’m in
