[Verse]
Golden rays kiss my face
They know
This skin’s a story
Let it show
Deep as oceans
Warm as night
Every shade
A different light
[Prechorus]
They try to box me
Try to mold
But my hue’s worth more than gold
[Chorus]
Melanin glow
Melanin shine
Every curve
Every line
Divine
Don’t need no paint to make me whole
This dark skin’s my heart
My soul
[Verse 2]
Velvet shadows
Moonlit skies
My beauty’s bold
It never hides
Rich as cocoa
Smooth as silk
Drips like honey
Flows like milk
[Bridge]
I wear the sun
I hold the stars
This canvas tells of battles
Scars
Every tone a symphony
My skin’s my crown
My legacy
[Chorus]
Melanin glow
Melanin shine
Every curve
Every line
Divine
Don’t need no paint to make me whole
This dark skin’s my heart
My soul
