A Song About White Supremacy

There's never been a star too bright to burn out
But i won't burn out tonight
It's too dark
I'm too pale
I made my grandma proud
My skin is just dirt ribbed off from the ground
I wanna become one with the sun
My grandma will roll her eyes out loud
There's a great, big ball in the sky, and i can't see
It's made of golden flames and it's burning
But it won't burn my skin, it will make me browner than yesterday
I mean, stronger than yesterday
My granda would be proud to know
I wear long-sleeved hoodies
Cross my arms and walk
Towards the shadows while outside
As if covering my abdomenis the only way
To keep my secret hidden

I made my grandma proud
But last summer
I worked outdoors in New Hampshire
Pulled up my sleeves
Let the sun seep through the cracks in my skin
Let the roots of melanin grow rich in my soil
Once again I was burnt bold in brown
And they asked 'How did you get so brown?'
And i said 'This is what happen when I embrace the sun'
There's a great, big ball in the sky, and i can't see
It's made of golden flames and it's burning
But it won't burn my skin, it will make me browner than yesterday
I mean, stronger than yesterday
No I mean, browner than yesterday
I'm much darker than yesterday
