Blakkst Skn
Rejjie Snow Lyrics

You see that white girl in the black bra
There is a white girl wearing a black bra that catches your attention.

Blackest skin I bet you wish you had the soap
My skin is so dark that you might believe I am dirty and wish you could wash me lighter, but I refuse to be cleansed.

To cleanse me down and beat me up and take my hope
People want to punish me for my skin color and take away my hope for a better life.

I love you mama but I'll never testify
I care for my family, but I won't betray my beliefs even if it means hurting them.

Cold nights on my own I'll hit it
When I feel lonely and broken, I turn to music to express myself and heal my pain.

Write these words till stars moon glisten
I put my heart and soul into my lyrics, crafting them until they shine as bright as the stars and the moon.

The sky's on my back let's not forget it
I carry the weight of my past and the pressure to succeed as a black artist, but I won't let it crush me.

Curse my faith, my feet so temped
I struggle with my beliefs and the temptation to give in to my vices.

To be in love, to hold and trust
I long for the simple joys of being in a loving relationship and trusting someone with my heart.

To be a kid, so cobble it up
I wish I could go back and relive my childhood, carefree and innocent.

I'll plant that seed and smoke my
I will plant the seeds of my future success and smoke away the pain and doubt.

So kingdom come
I will keep pushing forward until I reach my own version of paradise.

Don't ever leave the trees will breathe till satan comes
Nature is sacred and will always persevere, even in the face of evil.

These chains on my legs forget it
I refuse to be bound by society's expectations and limitations because of my skin color.

This white girl I'll love I mean it
I am in love with a white girl, and my love for her is real and deep.

She is the one so I indulge
My love for her is consuming and all-consuming, and I lose myself in it.

When making love so run snowy run
Our passion is intense and unstoppable, like a snowstorm.

So empathy you shallow lies will portray trust
People pretend to empathize with me, but their words are empty and they cannot be trusted.

My face so young but wise
I may be young, but I have seen and experienced things that have made me wise beyond my years.

Tears they blue like ocean cries
My tears are blue, like the depths of the ocean, because they are heavy with emotion.

When I'm gone I hope you lie
I hope that people will remember me fondly and tell white lies to make my legacy shine brighter.

Tell them that I'm 45
I hope that people will remember me as having lived a long and fulfilling life, even if I am cut short.

I'm black as voids at midnight skies
My skin is as dark and deep as the blackness of the night sky.

I'm black as coal I love my I, I
I embrace my blackness and my identity as a black individual.

Give you a golden moon and grab me by the kitchen stool
I promise to give you everything I have, even if it means working hard and sacrificing comfort.

A place to call your home I swear it
I promise to provide you with a safe and comfortable home that you can always return to.

Million dubs and tender care
I will show you love and affection, even when we have nothing else.

Walk with me and take my hand
Let me be your partner in life and we will face everything together.

I'll lead us to the promise land so
I will guide us towards a better future, no matter the obstacles in our way.

Grab those dreams and take that gun and
Pursue your dreams and don't let anyone hold you back, even if it means fighting for them.

Aim out higher misplaced trust
Don't settle for mediocrity and never trust blindly or without careful consideration.

Y'all gonna make this block boy shoot
If the world keeps pushing me and testing me, I might be pushed to do something dangerous or tragic.

Y'all gonna make this block boy do
If the world keeps oppressing me and denying me opportunities, I might be pushed to rebellion or crime.

Y'all gonna make this block boy rude
If the world keeps disrespecting me and treating me like a second-class citizen, I might become bitter and aggressive.

I fuck the game and take your food
I refuse to play by the rules of a rigged game and instead, I take what is rightfully mine.

Don't fuck with me I'm Adam so my Eve is you
I am the original man, and you are my equal partner and counterpart, like Eve was to Adam.

The apples from the gardens tasting sour too
Even the fruits of paradise are bittersweet and bring with them temptation and pain.

This is what the devil brings on naked truth
The truth is often uncomfortable and painful, and it can feel like the devil himself is bringing it to light.

My girl I know that freedom shall reveal the truth
I believe that true freedom and equality will ultimately lead to the revelation of the truth and the end of oppression and lies.

This is where I stop
This is the end of my song, but not the end of my journey or my struggle.

Maybe if I gave up
Perhaps if I surrendered or gave in, things would be easier, but I refuse to compromise my values.

You came in, you wanted
I am talking to a person or an audience who came to listen to my message.

The words that I spoke of
I am speaking about the things that matter to me and that I am passionate about.

My body it's opened
I am exposing myself and my emotions through my music and lyrics.

The words they're unspoken
Even when I am silent, my emotions and beliefs are still present and powerful.

And I don't wanna wake up
I want to stay in this dreamlike state, where my music and message can flourish.

Maybe if I gave up
I am tempted to give up and surrender, but I know that would mean betraying everything I believe in.

This could be our time
I hope that this moment, this song, this message, could be the turning point for those who hear it, and the start of a new, better era.
