Dark Skin (feat. Black Violin)

Dark skin, dark skin, the world's never preferred us
 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 important, 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 road
 They don't want her for the show
 Don't want her for the vote
 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
 More than those 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 wanna be a hashtag out joggin'
 Where can we take all the hate that we haulin'?
 Laws only here but they never could dissolve it
 We need to die and resurrect where the heart is
 On earth as it is in heaven, are they 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 that can mend us
 God that can mend us, yeah
 He's the only answer
