It's crazy how my beautiful skin

Could get me strapped up, strung up, swung in the wind

Tasered, maced, and cuffed, arm under my chin

Kneeled on, wheeled on, call for mama again

Dragged from the back of a pick-up for people to see

Douse me in gas, burn the ash and left in the streets

And even then, some white folk'll take a picture with me

My beautiful skin could also get me thrown on a boat

Live by the flow, my name, chain, culture revolt

Pray to the heavens 'cause hell on earth is all that I know

My skin made it where I got nowhere to go

When my people were trying to escape, they either killed or they capture us

And now they got the nerve to tell me "Go back to Africa"

African-American, my ancestors died for it

So fuck them racist motherfuckers, I'ma ride for it
