Melanin Video (MV)

Representing for the Queens as it's my title
Your black skin is vital in this world run by rivals
Every cycle they wanna erase us like the Bible
But that can never run cuz we resurface just like vinyl's
So, listen up Queens, your skin equals elite
As many shades there are, your undertone unique
Thick coiled hair, 4a to 4c
That's why your box braids stay neat
And you highlight pops G
Slicked baby hairs, man they stay on fleek
If we keep talking about looks, man I'll be here all week
Because you're smart, you're loyal
Illuminating cuz you're royal see
The world could never function without us
That's why God made Eve

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin


Represent what we have within
Our greatness is too much to keep in
Represent what we have within (I said)
Our greatness is too much to keep in

How many trends did we set without trying?
They'll say we're lying
Evidence goes back to ancient times and
They'll still deny it
Give credit to those who never tried it
Then when we fight back, we're too ghetto for their liking
When the earth rotates that's another day, we stay poppin'
Show stopping, we've got them oyin's jaws dropping
They see us functioning, they get scare we're up to something
So that's how you know our skin holds power like the button

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin

Represent what we have within
Our greatness is too much to keep in
Represent what we have within (I said)
Our greatness is too much to keep in

Represent what we have within (black queens)
Our greatness is too much to keep in
Represent what we have within (black queens)
Our greatness is too much to keep in

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
Melanin oh wow my melanin

This is why we love our melanin
The skin we're in and the glow that comes with it
This is why we love our melanin
