Melanin

[Intro]
For mi melanin, they call the police

[Chorus]
For mi melanin, they call the police
Blood spillin' all in these streets
Government want to redline with me
Sacrifices, me ah made, for my people 'cross seas

[Refrain]
Pray for a blesso, co-exist in a tempo
Still, people suffer for contentment, oh-oh yes

[Verse]
I miss my mama, maybe I should call her (Mm-hmm)
Lately, she been praying for me, worried (Oh)
It's been raising hell up in these cities (Uh-huh)
Too many been dyin' for they pigment (Uh-huh)

I been paranoid, thе feds are watching (Mm-hmm)
Bruddas movin' packs to keep it steady (Mm-hmm)
Too many been acting, thеy ain't active (Mm-hmm)
I don't need you perfect, just stay solid (Oh-oh, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need you perfect
Just stay solid for me, oh
You done seen some things
That need some healing for your soul

[Bridge 1]
(I can feel it) The way you touch up on me
The way you wine it 'pon me
My touch set you free
I miss you on me

[Refrain]
Pray for a blesso, co-exist in a tempo
Still, people suffer for contentment, oh-oh yes

[Bridge 2]
PTSD, stress, anxiety
Seems like the everyday normality, oh
Wish I can go back to simpler times
In the island, just me 'n' mines

[Chorus]
For mi melanin, they call the police
Blood spill- all in these streets
Unwind ya mind and smoke one with me
Take ya time and undress all your stress in these sheets, oh
