Verse 1:
It's gotta be magic/look at the way that we abra-cad-dab-it/
/its all in the fabric/ I checked the tag and the genes are elastic/ maybe gymnastic / I flipped the odds then we surpassed them/
We are the baddest/ they try to make it like we below average/
Sweet as molasses/ what they gonna do with all of this Blackness?/ they They tryna bag it/ after my culture but they can not have it/ they tryna banish thе truth of my beauty cause they can not stand it/ thеy want our color so they go and tan it/ label me "other" then hand me a bandage/
I been blue black/my truth thats facts /my boots combat/ even my hair fight back/ I am clap back/ I am a Aphrodisiac/ visual high contact/ from good stock- Nasdaq-

Melanin flossin/May the melanin popmelanin flossin'/May the Melanin- Ah-3x
Melanin drip/ I'm marinated vitamin d I'm concentrated/
Melanin pop I'm carbonated/look at the way that I lemonade-ed/
All of the lemons society give me you'd figure I be eliminated/ instead I'm just studied and imitated/ I can't be copied or duplicated/
Way too original/ I think its criminal/ alla the years we been violated/ look at me everywhere-celebrated/now I'm all over- I'm syndicated/
Melanin all through Bible/Melanin don't blend in
Melanin built for survival/ Melanin don't cave- in
Melanin tight that's tribal/ Melanin real African-2x
Melanin on top again
