Cameo - Skin I'm In Lyrics
Who's this face in the mirror that I see
Sometimes confused by the double standards of society
And maybe I'm wrong about the way I feel
But then will somebody tell me what is really real
I respect you too, but in the end it's got to be
Do unto me as I do to you
Now I try to tell you it's time
Separate our wants from our desire
Separate the truth from the lie
To live like people so inspired.
Peaceful world just out to see,
Basic respect, humanity,
And it one time seemed to be.
If we have truth we can survive
And for that our forefathers have died
It should be immoral or a sin
If it is according to the skin I'm in
Skin I'm in
Tell me how many times, how many times can I
Adjust my attitude to reach & touch the sky
Basic love is the creed by which I live
But then sometimes I wonder just how much a man can give
Gross injustices surround me from the highest levels of power
And you say these are the people I depend on for my survival
Is it for real or am I seeing shadows in the dark
I'll let you tell me, can u tell me brother
Tell me now
Peaceful world just out to see,
Basic respect humanity
I'm just trying to be realistic without becoming pessimistic
If we have hope we can survive
A damn good reason to stay alive
Is it immoral or a sin
It seems to be according to the skin I'm in
Skin I'm in
Peaceful world just out to see,
Basic respect humanity
I'm just trying to be for real in a world with less appeal
I'm so frustrated and flustered at what has been reduced to justice.
It is immoral or a sin
If it is according to the skin I'm in
Skin I'm in
One world, One Love, One people.

The thumbnail seems to me he's trying to disassociate himself from being black.creole,multicultural,mixed whatever you want to classify yourself. Whites always dictate your classification,they will call you a light skinned nigga or a dark skinned nigga.
I saw Larry Blackmon on a hotel elevator, they had a gig in DC in 1979! I was a banquet waitress back then and 5 months pregnant!
Too powerful for words right now. Black kings sing it ....2019. I salute you Larry Blackmon and Cameo.

Who's this face in the mirror that I see
Sometimes confused by the double standards of society
And maybe I'm wrong about the way I feel
But then, will somebody tell me what is really real'
Now I respect myself
I respect you too but in the end it's got to be
Do unto me as I do to you
Now I try to tell you it's time
Separate our wants from our desire
Separate the truth from the lie
To live like people so inspire
It's the world who's out to see
We should respect humanity
And it one time seemed to be
We could live together peacefully
If we have truth we can survive
And for that our forefathers have died
It should be immoral or a sin
If it is according to the skin I'm in, skin I'm in
Tell me how many times, how many times can I
Adjust my attitude to reach and touch the sky
Basic love is the creed by which I live
But then sometimes I wonder, just how much a man can give
Gross injustices surround me from the highest levels of power
And you say these are the people I depend on for my survival
Is it for real or am I seeing shadows in the dark
I'll let you tell me, can you tell me brother, tell me now
It's the world who's out to see
We should respect humanity
I'm just trying to be realistic
Without becoming pessimistic
If we have hope we can survive
A damn good reason to stay alive
Is it immoral or a sin
It seems to be according to the skin I'm in, skin I'm in
One world, one love, one people
One world, one love, one people
One world, one love, one people
Love has to be for one world and one man, yeah
It's the world who's out to see
They should respect humanity
I'm just trying to be for real
In a world with less appeal
I'm so frustrated and flustered
At what has been riddence to justice
Is it immoral or a sin
If it is according to the skin you're in, skin you're in
i was just looking for the forrnite season 6 trailer music but ok

Cancion equivocada
AWANTE FORTNITE BRO
Against all odds
fortnite
???
2 pac!!!!! Love the remaking the oldies
I listen to this song once a week!
My goodness. I hope they know what they did on this record. They really laid it all out on the line and I felt it. Soul, flavor and actually talkin' about something. This is indeed an underrated gem.
👊🏽
Old songs like this reminds me that white people will never change. 30+ years later and this song is still relevant.
Talk about prophetic! This song is a classic and speaks volumes about present times
281 num nuts wouldn't know great music if it was staring them in the mirror, nuff said.
Respect.
Trump needs to get an earful of this now Classic FUNK!
I still have this on cassette. I love this song.
All these human walk around in the world but there's very little humanity in it.
Need to be played over the airwaves everyday, especially for this generation .peace.
Still sound good and same old social issues
"When Larry takes off the codpiece, you know it's serious." - Todd in the Shadows
Whats sad talking about 30 years later and we're still dealing with the color game wake the hell up satan is satan you can't think that spirit is gonna change in 30 years this is a eternal spirit that can only be handled by the almighty most high the mighty yah it's not flesh but it can be defeated in this fleshly body how is that oh Zulu love amongst ourselves love is the key evil can not tarry amongst love be concerned about one another care this is the only way to defeat satan believe me now
If u dig this, u gotta dig "Talkin' Out Tha Side Of Ya Neck"
Bro Larry funks to the skin I'm in!😎🌲
This beat so fire 🔥
Southern University Human Jukebox brought me here. I now have a new found respect for this song. It all makes sense now. Skin I'm in. Sadly to this day that the same problems then still exist 2018
This song is still relevant in 2018! 2 much dumb racism!
I love the skin I am in too and I am not black. Everyone should love the skin they are in!
