Self hate triggers me
To the core…like why do you
Hate your own melanin?
And I knew why
But it bothers me

It bothers me to my core
Cos white supremacy programmed your black ass
To hate yourself and it gives them so much power….

Self hate triggers my bones
You let white people and other races degrade you
Can you look at you in the mirror and just see
There’s not a got damn single thing wrong with you….

On top of that,
You hate your own race,
So you date and marry someone outside your people
Cos you truly hate your black self….
You talk down to the people who looks like you…

Yet, Malcolm X was like who taught you to hate yourself?

Who told you to hate melaninated?
Who told you to hate your flawless sun poppin skin?
Who the fuck told you?
Cos I sure didn’t——

I didn’t tell you to hate your blackness….
Your melanin….your African your indigenous
Your original, your blueprint…
Who told you?

You better learn how to love your gorgeous self….
Better learn how to respect yourself, give your soul a
Dignity…don’t let anyone tell you

You’re too dark, you’re too yellow you’re too light…
Blacks came with many shades and magic…
Don’t listen to that nonsense….

Comin over here with hatin yourself
Bleachin yourself
No we ain’t doin that today…..

Black people are the most beautiful people on the planet
And everybody knows that,
But do we know that?

No some of us ain’t aware of our self hatin habits…
Not even the things we say….

It’s why self hate triggers me,
It chills me to the bone
When a black person bows down to white person
Psychologically…..

And you know what’s worse?

Black children catches the self hate
From their black adults or racist dominated society…
Even at early age….

Self hate triggers me….
And it’s scary
I think self hate should be scarier than
A cult leader…..

But it’s both….
