It was the look I’ve always known
That stripped me live and whole
As if I were not flesh and blood
Or temple of a soul
That clearly said t’was my dark skin
Which granted him the right
To perpetrate a timeless sin
As black as he was white
This is like thinking out loud in a crowded room
It was the look I’ve always known
That stripped me live and whole
As if I were not flesh and blood
Or temple of a soul
That clearly said t’was my dark skin
Which granted him the right
To perpetrate a timeless sin
As black as he was white
The most used and least understood of all the four letter words is love.
