My melanin cold
I'm proud of my naps
Pardon my soul
Can't gentrify that
I still rock gold
I look like I rap
Damn I look dope
From head to my toes it's part of my black
I don't do what they told
This government whack
My family back home
Can't gentrify that
They want control
And now they upset
Cause we just won't fold
The culture they stole is part of my black
Part of my
Part of my
Part of my

Part of my genes
Or maybe it's part of my jeans that's cuffed inside Jordan's
M.L. King
Had a dream in sixty-three and now look at how it's goin'
What do that mean
What do it seem not equal if you born
As anything
That's darker than deemed-by regime
They treat you like you foreign
So let's get bold do what we need to get that back
We out let's roll put up our cheese and with this stack
And-a, plan then
We gon' buy part of the map
Somewhere our moms can relax
Walk around showing they black
And not have no racist attack them
Part of my role
To hold it down
I'm in position
To make sure we gold
And so it's my mission
My skin might fool ya
Cool down
Big nose and my braids
And I got a ruler
To use to make babies

My melanin cold
I'm proud of my naps
Pardon my soul
Can't gentrify that
I still rock gold
I look like I rap
Damn I look dope
From head to my toes it's part of my black
I don't do what they told
This government whack
My family back home
Can't gentrify that
They want control
And now they upset
Cause we just won't fold
The culture they stole is part of my black
Part of my
Part of my
Part of my
