Skin Lyrics by Akin Yai

Romantica

2017

Was only hurting when he cried wolf
As a minor Harold Minor was his idol
For survival the bible,rifles
Deep south, we was dead on arrival
I need a midol,the headache is real talk
From Milwaukee to Alabama where they still fought to raise flags that hate blacks
Debase that false myth of a higher race,erase that,embrace black
Boy show'em what you're made of
He made love untouched by white hands,bands to make'em dance
He stands in that midnight trance but with a stance
Fuck ISIS our bodies are priceless,on our heads blue men got prices
Everywhere is burning, the riot i seen
Mookie threw the trashcan "they killed Raheem"
Movie turned real life or nightmare, scream
No i can't do that,imma do the right thing
Racks on racks on racks on racks
Jetsons,Jacksons stats on blacks
1 out of 4 of us get whacked at the hands of our own or the popo rrrrrrraaaa
Its the legend of Bobby Young mixed with a lotta rum,yayo and virgin lies cuz bitches they wanna high with something thats fucking gnarly come fuck with the friendly skies, i looked in the mirror fearing the man and i wanna hide
The perils of now pr pr prepare for the other side
The bubble of self struggle,the trouble of hellish pride
And deepest of purple, red, i'm yellow but kinda blue
Marilyn melanin, mmmurica i am you
I will ask her to ayahuasca, thats trip to the southernmost twilight zone
County of Alachua i known as home so roll and lit the weed up,lax kick the feet up,freak the black and mild and try not to feel beaten
But the beating pulse of the city life,its Diddy-like i mean really bright
I see the lights beaming on me,palming to keep from horny
Pardon me if its awkward,mommy im just human dealing with anxiety
Laughing to keep from crying,and crying to keep from dying
The world is so trying,the world is so christian-follow
I'm Dionysian clash with pure reason, they're always gon treason
They gon always have a reason for they treason
They gon always need a nigga for they season
But just to bless you, a song of virtue
(in Yoruba)
Ara wa ara wa ara wa ara wa
Ifa mi ta ta ta ta, aye wa ta ta ta
Emo gbagbe o'
