American Skin Lyrics

[Intro]
Don't you touch my people
Don't you touch my people

[Hook]
White man, black man, yellow man, red man
Fight back fellow man, yeah man til he can
Don't really care, hell no, what he said
All this shit that I saw, all the bloodshed
Then I went to war, I'm a veteran
I'ma tryna be more like a better more
Hands on the door, let me see 'em man
Dead on the floor in American skin

[Verse 1]
My momma had a dream like she was dr. King
Before I was a teen I could see some things
My poppa in the ring always fighting
When the bеll go "Ding" I can be some things
I can feel the changе, I felt a little strange
But I can rearrange, make 'em the same
Make 'em crack a smile every time they feel the pain
All I need to get by meet the Mary Jane
I was born on the side where the village spray
Black gun, white hand gets you blown away
But black gun, black hand, it can do the same
Pills, grams, and the yams be the same way
Got a book from my old man the other day
This book sat by the door, turned the other way
Every word that I took found a way to pray
Then I die from a look on my birthday

[Hook]
White man, black man, yellow man, red man
Fight back fellow man, yeah man til he can
Don't really care, hell no, what he said
All this shit that I saw, all the bloodshed
Then I went to war, I'm a veteran
I'ma tryna be more like a better more
Hands on the door, let me see 'em man
Dead on the floor in American skin

[Verse 2]
Life a fast car, you don't get reverse
Can't really redo what you can't rehearse
Don't really matter who you are, it could be your worst
You could be a big star in a bigger hearse
My pen been on the body every single verse
Even if the [?] gotta fuckin' curse
It's hard to write about a body in the dirt
Another coffin leavin' home, heading for the church

[Hook]
White man, black man, yellow man, red man
Fight back fellow man, yeah man til he can
Don't really care, hell no, what he said
All this shit that I saw, all the bloodshed
Then I went to war, I'm a veteran
I'ma tryna be more like a better more
Hands on the door, let me see 'em man
Dead on the floor in American skin

[Verse 3]
They don't want me to peace, they just want my life
Thunder dome with demons, all I know is fight (get 'em)
I can get killed by a cop or my brother
[?] you a cold motherfucker
My homie die young with [?]
Going to a house party on a Friday night
Don't know where I'm going, all I see is lights
Flicker blue and red, rearview mirror so bright
Why he got his hand on his gun when he approach
'cause he got the power, wanna turn me into a ghost
"I gotta make it home to my wife and my kid"
He look me in the face and he say the same shit

[Hook]
White man, black man, yellow man, red man
Fight back fellow man, yeah man til he can
Don't really care, hell no, what he said
All this shit that I saw, all the bloodshed
Then I went to war, I'm a veteran
I'ma tryna be more like a better more
Hands on the door, let me see 'em man
Dead on the floor in American skin

[Bridge]
Where we supposed to go? What we supposed to do?
Nothing left to show, skin black and blue
Where we supposed to go? What we supposed to do?
Nothing left to show, skin black and blue

[Outro]
At any given moment, no matter the place and time
Life can break you down
You're given a decision
Do you crumble or climb?
Do you listen or lose every opportunity given to you?
Will you be a victim or victorious?
We don't have to be the loudest in the room to notice us
