Lyrics

SKIN DEEP

Lord knows that I am so tired of confusion, based on illusions
Set up, sought and prepped and wired, for any reason to hold delusions
Here is my righteous hand, warning of unseen quickened sand
Feel from the heart you will know that what you feed you will surely grow

People here’s the deal, I’ve come to help reveal
All that’s most worthy to keep, will always be skin deep

Color, class and gender-wise, gotcha caught up what if it’s all make-believe?
Beliefs, priests and thieves collide and if that’s not enough, throw in sexuality
What is the value in, all things you could never win?
These battles are fought sure to sure, on the surface but what about the core?

People here’s the deal, I’ve come to help reveal
All that’s most worthy to keep, will always be skin deep
People here’s the deal, I’ve come to help reveal
All that’s most worthy to keep, will always be skin deep
