The Skin I'm In
It's not a fad,
It's not a trend,
Believe it or not,
This is the Skin i'm in.
There are highs and lows,
It's a world some people will never know.
They look at me like i'm a sin,
But this is the Skin i'm in.
You can't erase it or make it go away,
This is my color each and everyday.
You don't like me, but i can be your friend,
Just accept, this is the skin i'm in.
I want hurt you, believe me when i say,
Just like you, to GOD i pray.
I'm not here to offend,
But, this is The Skin I'm In.
