Light skin 

Bright skin

The right skin

Some people say we need to look within

But we're only humans

 

Team lightskin 

Team darkskin 

Will they every see thru my chocolate skin

We need to look within 

But we're only humans 

 

But see my friend 

This chocolate skin is only the crust 

Of who I am 

And my great ancestors had to fight to be called human 

Us human need to take a stand and tell a story that's been untold 

We've been beaten, oppressed , brought and sold 

So if you ask me what team I'm in I'm screaming African American 

And it hurts me too see these stereotypes because of your skin

Like dark skins men are rough and wild and if you lightskin you must get 100 likes on Instagram 

We had a dream that's fallen 

We're human 

No we've been programmed

To think the lighter the skin the wealthier the man

 

 

But I'm strong enough to take a stand 

My darkskin is only a assecorie to the great women I am

So when your label yourself team lightskin or team darkskin

Your giving fuel to the fire that will never end

No team will win

You alone must look within.
