lyrics

A MATTER OF SKIN

VERSE 1

A heinous crime was committed
and there is already someone to blame

A little boy, George Stinney
he was about to see the face of death

BRIDGE

He's a murderer
He's a raper
He's abnormal
HE'S NOT WHITE

CHORUS

MATTER OF SKIN
In the judgement
A MATTER OF SKIN
kill with no mercy

MATTER OF SKIN
in the judgement
in the land of the free
you may die

VERSE 2

On a bench, he was waiting
for twelve white man to play with his luck

In ten minutes there was a verdict
you are guilty and you have to die

BRIDGE

You're a murderer
You're a raper
You're abnormal
You're not white

CHORUS

MATTER OF SKIN
In the judgement
A MATTER OF SKIN
kill with no mercy

MATTER OF SKIN
in the judgement
in the land of the free
you may die

VERSE 3

On books lies his body
his sentence was written in blood

Years later, still no justice
just a voice asking, "why me?"

BRIDGE

He's not a murderer
he's not a raper
he's not abnormal
HE'S PROUDLY BLACK

CHORUS

MATTER OF SKIN
In the judgement
A MATTER OF SKIN
kill with no mercy

MATTER OF SKIN
in the judgement
in the land of the free
you may die
