[Chorus]

All because I'm black

Black that's my skin

My melanin

That's how it's always been

All because I'm black

That's why they treat me different

I talk, they don't listen

I'm not playin' the victim

I gotta say I'm black and I'm proud

Say that sh*t louder, don't

Ever tell me, turn that sh*t down, yeah

All because I'm black

Black that's my skin

My melanin

That's how it's always been

I thank God I'm alive

Sick of watchin' my people die

Look at how they take a life

They go on the record and lie

You know we seen it with our eyes

Do you really got a bad voice, some bad lie people rise

How long will you stand by and act surprised when people riot

Do we gotta bleed?

Until it's right in the streets

For somebody to notice that we still ain't free

How many times you heard it? I cannot breathe

When we get stopped by police

All because I'm black

Black that's my skin

My melanin

That's how it's always been

All because I'm black

That's why they treat me different

I talk, they don't listen

I'm not playin' the victim

I gotta say I'm black and I'm proud

Say that sh*t louder, don't

Ever tell me, turn that sh*t down, yeah

All because I'm black

Black that's my skin

My melanin

That's how it's always been

I thank God I'm alive
