Dark Skin

Lyrics

[Verse: KB] Dark skin, dark skin The world's never preferred you Lost in the thought that In the sight of God, you've been gorgeous, sunkissed Never lighten your emojis No apologies for the image you were formed in That image is imported, yours the Lord's gift Oh, yes, coarse hair, beautiful without that potion But I just saw my daughter Tryna scrub the black off her skin underwater Running from the sun, she ain't tryna get darker Haunted, will anybody want her? 'Cause they don't want her for the role, they don't want her for the show They'll want her for the Vogue They'll take her for the night, but they don't want her for a home Uh, listen Bigger than the blacks in America Asian folks struggle with their skin that ain't fair enough Moreno's in South America declaring only barrier been buried by the cross that can carry us He will not ignore this, widow and the orphan Only true religion, you ain't with it then you lost it Skin-bleaching cream is supreme in the poorest Gospel can erase all the color line drawing, yeah Lately, we been feelin' it the hardest Dead in the street with a knee on his jaw and Never been a felon, but I'm treated like it often I don't want to be a hashtag out joggin' Where can we take all the hate that we haulin'? Laws only help but they never could dissolve it We need to die and resurrect where the heart is On earth as it is in heaven only gonna solve it I am on my calling Support them, but my hope is not in law enforcements Stay the course, of course, and I don't need endorsement Empowered young man, that's a caution, caution I believe the power of the church and the Artist We the least expected, like a new apartment The Gospel's more potent than they ever wanted The boat can't be sunk when Jesus is sleepin' on it, uh Church, are you hearin' me? Invest in your neighbor, not conspiracies How you politicize the mouth of the reverend? Ain't a left or a right side up in heaven, no Faith is where we stand up I pledge allegiance to the blood-stained banner Yes, I love America, but heaven is the standard Nations come and go, but His glory can't be damaged, woo I say Jesus is the answer Do what He commands us And maybe for the first time, humble our pride, see the God that can mend us God, can you mend us? God can you mend us? Yeah Jesus is the answer
