STOP MELANOMA
CHORUS X 2
Stop melanoma! Please understand,
Stay out the sun, it comes from a tan!
Stop melanoma! Please don’t forget,
Use sun screen, do a skin check!
VERSE 1
Dr. Clarke, Health Hop, 1-2, 1-2, I’m checking in,
To get up in your head again, with knowledge that I recommend.
Stop melanoma, check your skin, protect your skin,
No matter what race, even African American.
Attention boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen,
Skin gets tanned when cells produce melanin,
This can turn to cancer, so you should inspect your skin,
And see a Dermatologist, to biopsy a specimen.
Yeah, what is the cause of melanoma?
Ultraviolet rays, excessive sun exposure.
Sun screen is the armor, wear it like a soldier,
With a Sun Protection Factor, of at least 30 or over!
To Whom It May Concern: it’ll stop a sunburn,
‘Cause when it’s done right, it’ll block the sun light.
Avoid tanning beds, I said it so you know,
To never get, and never let, melanoma grow!
CHORUS X 2
Stop melanoma! Please understand,
Stay out the sun, it comes from a tan!
Stop melanoma! Please don’t forget,
Use sun screen, do a skin check!
VERSE 2
Melanoma, as a problem is growing and yes it’s obvious,
Now we see a lot of this, even affecting college kids,
You don’t want no part of this, everyone should acknowledge this:
Protect your skin, and see a Dermatologist.
Do a skin check, inspect, detect!
Look for changes any lesions or a defect.
Get a mirror, check your front, back, feet, neck,
And see a doctor for a thorough and complete check.
What’s the reason to follow up a lesion?
If the border is irregular, shape is uneven,
If the color’s strange, a sudden change in the size,
Diameter: 1/4 inch or more, recognize,
If there’s evolution or it’s getting elevated,
Don’t delay, go right away, ‘cause it has been demonstrated,
Those who saw a lesion, checked it out and never waited,
Got rid of melanoma, you should do whatever they did!
CHORUS X 2
Stop melanoma! Please understand,
Stay out the sun, it comes from a tan!
Stop melanoma! Please don’t forget,
Use sun screen, do a skin check!
