Kareen McBean - Skin

I love your skin
It represents beauty, strength, history
And royalty all in one

My mamma always made it known to me
I was good enough being just me, oh
And in the way she walked about
And talked to everyone with love
Her ways imprinted in me, oh
She said that beauty really lies within
But it's not a sin to love the skin you're in
I'm looking in the mirror at my reflection
I adore my dark complected skin

Fragile yet strong
A work of art, carefully colored by the sun
Beautiful beyond what anyone thinks
Beyond the struggles my complexion bring
Skin
Smooth like silk the shade of cocoa
And there's no way I will change it
Oh no Oh
I love my skin

Society has made it known to me
I'd be judged by the color they see, oh no
Not always treated with a high esteem
Not the quintessential true beauty
The closer that you are to porcelain
Then you might fit in
I love my melanin
I'm looking in the mirror at my reflection
I adore my dark complected skin

Fragile yet strong
A work of art, carefully colored by the sun
Beautiful beyond what anyone thinks
Beyond the struggles my complexion bring
Skin
Smooth like silk the shade of cocoa
And there's no way I will change it
Oh no Oh
I love my skin

Black, brown, chocolate
Whatever you call it
Melanin
God has smiled on me
And said oh what a blessing
Wrapped like a gift to earth
My presence brings worth
We are Royalty, Kings and Queens
Say with me...

Black, brown, chocolate
Whatever you call it
Melanin
God has smiled on me
And said oh what a blessing
Wrapped like a gift to earth
My presence brings worth
We are Royalty, Kings and Queens
Say with me...

(Skin)
Fragile yet strong
A work of art, carefully colored by the sun
Beautiful beyond what anyone thinks
Beyond the struggles my complexion bring
Skin
Smooth like silk the shade of cocoa
And there's no way I will change it
Oh no oh
I love my skin
I love my skin

I like my skin
Even if you don't like my skin
Absolutely, I love my skin
Beautiful...
