SKIN / BONES ft. Priscilla Manning & Ajhani Lyrics

Uh

I got pressure

Feel it in my heart

That weights extra

I got pressure

Got eyes around them

But for me I guess it's extra

Man, I got pressure

Try to cover up

Never too much but for good measure

Tried to be safe but I can't

It's hard to live your life

When you're stuck to a plan huh

Warn me, she warned me

Don't be dead before you're 40

Man

I'll be on the safe side

Not dying before a 100 bands

Drums in the mix

I'm tryna drum with them sticks

I gotta stay on

Play that bass tone

We making hits, okay

Momma said this skin should be your pride, say it with your chest

So imma be prideful

I'm laying all your doubts to rest

Resting on my skin

Is a color filled with hatred

I love when people doubt me

That kinda stuff's just amazing

Oh, feeling special all I know

Feel the weight on my soul

When your skin goes black

And you can't go back

And they wanna turn their backs

But we finna show them

What they lacking

I'm feeling great on my own

(Pressure)

Praying on my downfall for sure

(Pressure)

Accept all your flaws you'll feel better

(Pressure)

I got my foot in the game and you hate it

(I got pressure)

What is skin? What is bone?

Makes it hard to walk earth alone

Stop calling, won't pick up the phone

Stop dialing imma change my tone

My mama dealt with trauma

Fam done told me all the drama

Ma was hunted in pajamas

Unc was hunted in pajamas

Family were the target

They ducked down, no one got hit

B-strays, they ain't caught it

Good God, fam never spotted

Mama and them moved to America

She bumping baddie Badu, Erykah

Wanted her kids to develop a

Better life, free from the pain and strife

Twenty years later, flip on the news

Buffalo shooting, such awful news

Black was the skin, he's on the move

The cycle repeated, parents scared too

Uh Same ones that died saw kids on a noose

So we still being hunted

So we still being shot

So we still being got by cops

Who plotting on our tops

Honestly, they steal our fruit

Steal our bodies, steal our music

Flip it, then rebuke it

We all getting use to it

Uh

I got pressure

Feel it in my heart

That weights extra

I got pressure

Got eyes around them

But for me I guess it's extra

Man, I got pressure

Try to cover up

Never too much but for good measure

Tried to be safe but I can't

It's hard to live your life

When you're stuck to a plan huh

Uh

I got pressure

Feel it in my heart

That weights extra

I got pressure

Got eyes around them

But for me I guess it's extra

Man, I got pressure

Try to cover up

Never too much but for good measure

Tried to be safe but I can't

It's hard to live your life

When you're stuck to a plan huh

I be in my feels on my own

I be feeling like this body, I don't own

This skin and my bones

Been subjected too many times

I feel like I got no home

But I'm gonna be alright

I won't follow no plans

But we gonna be alright

If we don't follow no plans

These bones inside me

(These bones inside me)

(These bones inside me)

(These bones inside me)

Got me feeling so free

(Feeling so free)

(Don't Tell me what I cannot be)

(This script I don't read)

These bones inside me

(These bones inside me)

(These bones inside me)

Got me feeling so free

(Feeling so free)

(Don't Tell me what I cannot be)

(This script I don't read)

These bones inside my body

Told me to keep walking

And I did

They be throwing fits

When they see some black Excellence

So I keep to myself

Cause they don't want no trouble

(I be in my mode)

It's that Jay zone, I call it my bubble

I'm nice with it

I be fresh to death

Put some Jordan's in my coffin

They gon' see my steps

They gon' hear my music

They gon' hear my breaths

Take some notes

You'll get to see

What I be doing best

These bones inside me

(These bones inside me)

(These bones inside me)

Got me feeling so free

(Feeling so free)

(Don't Tell me what I cannot be)

(This script I don't read)

Got eyes around them

But for me
