Skin
The thickness of insults hurled at ballistic speeds
Skin
The thickness of buckshot blast from good ol' boys with bad intentions
Skin
A melanin mix of Georgia black soil and North Carolina toil
In tobacco fields with the sun in your back pocket
Hereditary history made my skin tough
Teflon tough
Stainless steel exoskeleton
Triple black outer shell
Hardend from hatred
Tempered in the furnace of burning crosses
Coloreds crucified for the original sin
You can't get in the skin I'm in
My crunchy coating is a jawbreaker dipped in chocolate
Skin
the thickness of time
Skin...
