Inside out


her skin is my skin and my skin is your skin

there white i’m black your in between

but these are not the facts

always saying what we hate about each other

 

instead of celebrating things we got together

she’s ugly she’s fat uh uh why she look like that

don’t criticize her beautiful hips my curvy lips

because before we came...god created us to be the same

 

love each other prays our brothers

but some how you came out just a little bit

different maybe its just the way you raised

born into a world of hatred stupidity

 

misguided ways trying to learn from the

one who aint learned them selves

think you know about her, know about me,

know about yourself just one big family

 

struggling in this world alone because we lost

the true meaning of a home worried about the wrong things

like trying to get up in them jeans

like this world has no other means people starving like marvin

 

and the one thing we can think about is what’s on the outside

to scared to ask how do you feel on the inside

maybe you can feel her pain, my pain,

feel your own pain
