The Skin I’m In
I’m paper sack brown,
and I’m still put down.
The knowledge unexposed,
the faith in my soul.
The voice, strictly bold.
The vibes I send,
It’s all inside of the skin I’m in.
You look, you see-
But please believe,
there’s definitely, definitely more to me.
Reach in, visualize…
Even close your eyes.
Feel with the sound,
as you’re mesmerized.
Now you see me, now you don’t.
Open your other eyes,
or I’m sure you won’t.
Seek to inquire the belly of mind.
The allurement you seek,
so much more you’ll find.
The truth you see is deep within,
It’s all inside of the skin I’m in.
