[Hook: DOOM]

Melanin on melanin

Your dude need to recharge off your velvet skin

Make 'em feel like, like twelve again

Soon as you give the green light I'm delvin' in (delvin' in)

Melanin on melanin

Your fella need to recharge off your velvet skin

Make me feel like, like I'm twelve again

Soon as you give the green light I'm delvin' in


[Verse 1: DOOM]

Learn to balance, it's real tricky

Like The Incredible Hulk turned back to Bill Bixby

Fuck masturbating, I'd rather wait then

Keep enough of that good stuff for the trading in

Each and every day, making cash with Satan

Can't eat, can't sleep, it's exasperatin'

Mad light burning off

All he needs is one warm hug to keep from turning off

I'm sure you could use a boost

Left the hooptie parked in hood with the screws loose

Bust the Coupé out the driveway, stash house

Scooped you up, hit the highway and mash out

Matte-black like melanin on melanin

Of course, the butter-soft black leather trim, set of rims

Let 'er purr, not a scratch on it

Spin it back to the garage and put a latch on it

I need a handful of melanin

Feelin' like the lambswool beard on your tender skin

It might give you a shock initially

As we reconnect, up the flow, electricity

The phenomenal melanin bio-polymer

Follow with a glass a Merlot, I could swallow her

Eat 'er up like a SnackWell

We could live forever like Henrietta Lacks cells

Melanin on melanin

Ask me where the hell I been soon as I felt her skin

Holdin' hands, feet in the sand — grounded

Starin' in them pretty brown eyes — astounded

I'll share some solar power

If you let me pound it, we could go for hours

And then again in the shower

Left her leg tremblin'— recharged the melanin


[Bridge: DOOM]

Girl, you got it

Need to let that show

This is how you know

That's that glow

Feel it glow

Love that glow

Even so

Feel it go

This is how you know


[Sample: Dr. Jewel Pookrum]

"Again, all humans are melanin dependent, and it doesn't matter whether you were born and reared in Denmark, or born and reared in–in Kenya, at the equator – you have to have melanin

And it is controlling all of the systems in your body

For you not to have a direct, conscious relationship with your melanin is going to cost you your life

Because the melanin molecule is the orchestrator and the organizer for every mechanism in your body

You've got to make peace with it

You cannot continuously polarize yourself against this molecule

So I don't care how white your skin is, you are black on the inside

You have melanin that you have to communicate with, so that it functions for you

I don't care if you are navy blue black, if you do not have a rapport with your melanin, you are going to catch holy hell

So, we know for a fact, it's not necessarily how much you have – it's how well you are able to use it"
