“Six Years Old Shouldn’t Hurt Like This”

Описание: “Six Years Old Shouldn’t Hurt Like This” is a raw, soul‑bearing spoken word R&B testimony born from a moment no child should ever face. When a six‑year‑old boy comes home asking why another child won’t play with him because of his skin color, a grandmother’s heart breaks and her spirit rises. This piece transforms that pain into power, weaving Southern roots, ancestral memory, and Velvet Testimony Soul into a cinematic soundscape.

With warm harmonies, heartbeat percussion, and spoken truth that cuts straight to the bone, the song confronts the reality of racism through the eyes of a child while lifting him with legacy, pride, and divine identity. It’s a reminder that melanin is not a burden it’s a blessing. Not a difference a crown. Not a reason to shrink a reason to stand tall.

This is a healing offering for every Black child who has ever been made to question their worth, and for every parent or grandparent who’s had to hold their tears while teaching their babies how to love themselves louder than the world tries to silence them.

“Six Years Old Shouldn’t Hurt Like This” is more than a song.
It’s a prayer.
A protest.
A promise.
A declaration that our children will rise anyway with a light the world can’t dim.
