paroles de chanson My Skin - MickyD

Why did it have to be this way
Why my people have to be enslaved
In every history book it's engraved
They forgot even their own history
They blame us for the way we behave
They like telling us to go that way

Why did it have to be this way
Why my people have to be enslaved
In every history book it's engraved
They forgot even their own history
They blame us for the way we behave
They like telling us to go that way

What does my skin have to do with it
Because I'm black
Doesn't make me a criminal
Fuck the mentality I'm through with it
When did a racist do something great for humanity?
Every racist has nothing in life he or she attache pride to there skin
Every racist is a loser is what I learned, apparently
I used to ask myself Why do they shot our youngsters
Devils don't live under the ground
They live amongst us
I'm not saying every cops are bad
But the ones who kill my brothers make me mad
Why do they have to make our mothers sad
No one is safe that's bad that's an issue
Instead of birthday gifts
We handing funeral tissues

Why did it have to be this way
Why my people have to be enslaved
In every history book it's engraved
They forgot even their own history
They blame us for the way we behave
They like telling us to go that way

Why did it have to be this way
Why my people have to be enslaved
In every history book it's engraved
They forgot even their own history
They blame us for the way we behave
They like telling us to go that way

It hurts when your judged by your skin tone
It hurts you're black
The cops won't leave you alone
They might shoot you in safety of your own home
Or end up talking to your brother in prison phone
It's so much pain
Weighing on my brain
I'm praying I can maintain
Till society change
No race is better than another
We all humans we bleed the same
So why not just love eachother
Weakened if we're separate but stronger in unity
I wish to live in world where no matter your Ethnicity
We all have Equal opportunity

Why did it have to be this way
Why my people have to be enslaved
In every history book it's engraved
They forgot even their own history
They blame us for the way we behave
They like telling us to go that way

Why did it have to be this way
Why my people have to be enslaved
In every history book it's engraved
They forgot even their own history
They blame us for the way we behave
They like telling us to go that way
