melanin proud

Queenikita… yeah
They mock…
But just look at them.

⸻

🥁 Verse 1

They mock my full lips,
But fill theirs with injections to look like me.
They laugh at my curves, my full forms,
But add volume to bodies they’ve never owned.

They mock what I am naturally,
While paying to become it artificially.
What I wear is heritage,
What they wear is a passing trend.

⸻

🎶 Pre-Chorus

They criticize what they desire,
They despise what attracts them.
When you laugh at me,
It’s your mirror that betrays you.

⸻

🔥 Chorus (powerful, sung)

I overflow with melanin,
I’m strong, I’m tall, I’m beautiful.
I am God’s abundant creation,
And I was not made to be subtle.

I overflow with melanin,
My presence disturbs because it dominates.
If I bother you so much,
It’s because you feel small against my shine.

⸻

🥁 Verse 2 (heritage & heroes)

They mock my curly hair,
But who said fragile was superior?
My hair is strong, thick, rooted,
It carries names history could never erase.

They stand like Nelson Mandela,
Free even when imprisoned.
They think like Aimé Césaire,
Words that can liberate entire peoples.

They advance with Sékou Touré’s determination,
Patrice Lumumba’s fierce dignity,
Kwame Nkrumah’s vision,
Thomas Sankara’s bravery,
Marcus Garvey’s indomitable soul,
Malcolm X’s righteous fire,
Martin Luther King’s quiet courage.

And yes —
They also carry the elegance and intelligence of Barack Obama,
A black man standing in the house they said was forbidden,
Living proof that our color
Has never been a limit,
Only a threat to those who doubted.

⸻

🎶 Pre-Chorus 2

They told me: “Tame yourself,”
But I wasn’t born to be tamed.
I am raw, I am real,
And that cannot be copied.

⸻

🔥 Chorus 2

I overflow with melanin,
I am God’s work in all His determination.
You can feel His love in my skin,
In every shade, every vibration.

I overflow with melanin,
And no matter the emotion I go through,
I stay black.
Can you say the same about your chameleon skin?

⸻

🎤 Bridge (almost spoken, raw truth)

White, red, pink, violet, yellow,
Adapted to every emotion.
Mine resists.
Mine endures.
Mine tells an entire story.

I am black when I cry.
I am black when I laugh.
I am black when I fall.
I am black when I win.

⸻

🔥 Final Chorus (choir, full power)

I am God’s pride,
A creation overflowing with love.
If my light blinds you,
It’s not my role to dim the sun.

I am imposing,
Charismatic,
Unstoppable.

And your jealousy is only proof of my impact.

⸻

🎙 Outro

Under the sun, my skin shines even brighter…
The reflection of God’s pride in His most beautiful creation…

Stand tall, my queen.
You are not too much.
You are complete.

And the world… will have to accept it. 👑🔥
