There was a girl, just like me
She lived in fear cause of who she wanted to be
Cause her color was different than the others
She was treated differently
Who were they to call her all those things
Who were they to act better than she
Why did she struggle to fit in
It was all because
She had melanin, melanin
She had melanin, melanin
She had melanin, melanin
She had melanin
Sometimes I look at my reflection
I'm a person no matter my complexion
They call me names but I don't blame em
Cause I glow either way
Who are you to call me all those things
Who are you to act better than me
Why do I struggle to fit in
It's all because
I have melanin, melanin
I have melanin, melanin
I have melanin, melanin
I have melanin
I have melanin, melanin
She has melanin, melanin
I have melanin, melanin
I have melanin
