Mutabaruka - Skins lyrics

Black is the color of my skin But there is more of me to see within Skins have played many tricks on me Skins, yes, skins is what they see But I am made with bones and skin like you Doin' hopin' for the same things you do For justice, peace and a place on earth For life existence and what it's worth So stop playin' your skin tricks on me If my skin ain't free neither will we be Stop playin' your skin tricks I say Tomorrow is a brand new day For every skin that's here on earth Came to existence through a child's birth The blood that molds is always red Life continues even when skin is dead Skin for you, skins for me When skins are black and in slavery No skin can truly say it's free So stop playin' your skin tricks on me There is much more of me to see Stop playin' that skin trick I say Tomorrow is a brand new day Open your eyes and be wise Take you awake and realize Life is blood we all possess Blood is where life existence rest The blood that molds is always red Life continues even when skin is dead Skin is black, skin is white We live through the day We live through the night Skin is black, skin is white The color of skin is not the right to might So stop playin' that skin trick on me There is much more of me to see Stop playin' that skin trick I say Tomorrow is a brand new day
