paroles de chanson Melanated - Katori Walker

And we just tryna make a way
Stomach hungry, kitchen empty, that's that everyday
Grab some liquor, all my homies peacin' on the eighth
And poverty'll be the sickness so we medicate, uh

Most my niggas never meditate
Unless it's plottin' on a mission tryna confiscate
To hit a lick to get some money, prolly catch a case
Judge talkin' dirty 'cause he black and he hate his face

You know the system fucked up when you black as me
At the door of success but we ain't get a key
So we ain't knockin' now through the window now
Just don't make a sound, if you make a sound
Police prolly (prolly gun us down)

Black, it ain't a fad, it's my life, nigga
Same crime, you gettin' 12, I'm gettin' life, nigga
You got a slap on a wrist, I got a strike, nigga
But I wouldn't trade it for the world, that's sacrifice, nigga

Look, black things, black dreams, black businesses, black kings
Don't matter if you dark or light skinned, you still a black queen
Don't matter if you born biracial them there is black genes
It's okay if you don't get it, my nigga, it's just a black thing (Woo!)

Look at me, I'm melanated
You probably hate it but I celebrate it
I made it here, I wasn't 'posed to make it
You probably hate it but I celebrate it

Look at me I'm highly melanated
I made it here, I wasn't 'posed to make shit
You probably hate it but I celebrate it
You probably hate it but I celebrate it

It's the sweet taste of melanin, baby
It's the sweet, sweet taste of
It's the sweet, sweet taste of
It's the sweet, sweet taste of
It's the sweet, sweet taste of

It's the sweet taste of melanin, baby
It's the sweet, sweet taste of
It's the sweet, sweet taste of
It's the sweet, sweet taste of
It's the sweet, sweet taste of

Lucky he made us with liberty
Freedom ain't free, that shit come with a hidden fee
Copy me, copy me, stolen identity
Wanna be niggas, they say it identically

No consequence and these coppas is killin' me
Can't feel my pain but you say that you feelin' me
Doin' this foul, where the fuck is the referee?
Doin' this foul, where the fuck is the referee?
