https://lnk.to/HSDM-TheSkinImIn Directed , shot & edited by Arber. Written by Hifi Sean & David McAlmont. Produced by Hifi Sean label : Plastique Recordings. The Skin I’m In. I lie awake at night ‘cause I listen to a guy theorise about the rise of the Reich. Acts of God and politics collide and I wonder if I understood the guy right. There’s just something in the air; we might not even sense it there. Too hyped, too adrenalized, you take another ride, you’re rushing in like the high tide. When it comes to the news we break like waves on the beach With all the highs and all the lows, there are reasons we don’t sleep, you know. Some nights, we can really see what reads like a reality we don’t wanna receive. Taking a knee in the land of the free. Is it time to come clean about the troubling place in your heart for the skin I’m in? If all lives matter. If all lives matter. Black lives matter. So grab you camera to film the badge – flash. The riot gear is gonna go clickety-clash. Take you for a ride and you pay the toll. And white is the contract, black as the ghetto. Looking at you through a fortified window. Gonna have fun at the gun show. Check me stepping out with my dad. Carrying a bible in a Max Mara bag. And when the blood is moving through his body like sand in an upturned hourglass. And breath by breath you knew they heard him say, “Momma, I’m fading fast.” And now the badge is on my ass with teargas. I nearly got a rubber bullet in the eye. Paddy wagon on the prowl for the next big black prize. They don’t believe, “I can’t breathe.” All they see is the skin I’m in... If all lives matter. If all lives matter. Black lives matter.
