The Brkn Record - Prison of Skin Lyrics




All around the world it's the same old story
All around the world
Subliminal bars, mental chains
Fear of a black planet reigns
A construct of a demented brain
Whose reality has become our living nightmare
Devaluing my hair and body
By grade of its' darker shade
All around the world it's the same old story
Unemployment is rising with the death
Of black lives and it is not surprising
Who is not surviving in this prison of skin
Prison of skin
It is a prison of skin that I am living in
Where melanin is a curse and a blessing
It is a prison of skin that I am living in
Where melanin is a curse and a blessing
It is a prison of skin that I am living in
Where you are judged by your complexion
All around the world
All around the world
The spirit inside yearns to be free
The spirit inside is what you can't see
That's the real me. Can you feel me?
Or do you solely rely on your physical eye?
In the land of the free
Color is what we see
Taught to discriminate
Before we can date. Hate
It is a prison of skin that I am living in
It is a prison of skin that I am living in
It is a prison of skin
Becoming the norm
And we conform
In this prison of skin
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world"
