Dark Skin Lyrics by KB

His Glory Alone

2020

[Verse: KB]
Dark skin, dark skin
The world's never preferred you
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 imported, 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 role, they don't want her for the show
They'll want her for the Vogue
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
Moreno's 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 want to be a hashtag out joggin'
Where can we take all the hate that we haulin'?
Laws only help but they never could dissolve it
We need to die and resurrect where the heart is
On earth as it is in heaven only 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, can you mend us?
God can you mend us? Yeah
Jesus is the answer
