Dark Skinned

Oh my God

What am I doing to myself?

Bouncing off all the walls like a boomerang

Locked myself in the booth like a runaway

Maybe I

Guess yeah I, I got shit to say

I ain't the messy type but you ain't seen my petty side

I tried to re-define the hurt that made me hold my pride

Losing count of all the times that I had to cry

And dry my tears, pull up my socks 'cause I have to try

No, I don't need a hand

Why you asking?

Let it go

Where were you

When I was grafting

Cut the talk

Know your type, know your type

On my own

I'ma bounce, I'ma shine

My mamma told me from me born

Ray a star

That's my calling, yeah

I'm even glowing in the dark

It's from my heart

Not because I'm dark skin

I hear the whispers in the halls, all the same shit

But I won't echo all your flaws, I'ma change it

My mamma told me from me born

It's from my heart

Not because I'm dark-skinned

I can see future goals right in front of me

Look at her, from the south, now she on TV

And I won't, wont be judged by society

Hold it down, goin' hard til the death of me

I ain't the messy type but you ain't seen my petty side

I tried to re-define the hurt that made me hold my pride

Losing count of all the times that I had to cry

And dry my tears, pull up my socks 'cause I have to try

No, I don't need a hand

Why you asking?

Let it go

Where was you when I was grafting?

Cut the talk

Know your type, know your type

On my own

I'ma bounce, I'ma shine

My mamma told me from me born

Ray a star

That's my calling, yeah

I'm even glowing in the dark

It's from my heart

Not because I'm dark skin

I hear the whispers in the halls, all the same shit

But I won't echo all your flaws, I'ma change it

My mamma told me from me born

It's from my heart

Not because I'm dark-skinned
