I am on clothes I am naked
nothing covering me but my epidermis
I'm in a mess
First stage bare stratum basale
Don't look at me raw, wrong
I'm uncovered appalled
Who told me I need coverage covering
Stratum granulosum I bet you can't see 'em
Naked for I am
Uncovered wit jus my natural nature showing
I'm clothed unclothed
Stratum spinosum, I don't want none
Stratum basale, nothing favorable
Being seen uncovered
Papillary Layer covered vessel
Naked I am I stand before you raw
Dirt-dirty in raw clay form
I am on clothes I am naked
nothing covering me but my epidermis
I'm in a mess
First stage bare stratum basale
Don't look at me raw, wrong
I'm uncovered appalled
Who told me I need coverage covering
Stratum granulosum I bet you can't see 'em
Naked for I am
Reticular layer
In mine housed spirit form
My God has said who said I was naked
