Red, Black, & Blues Lyrics

Red, black, and blue

Red, black, and blues

Red, black, and blues

America, America

God shed your grace please

Too many dreamers in this land

Been knocked down to their knees

Too many corners in the hoods

Hold more than traffic signs

In many hoods in our land

Yes gangs still traffic signs

Crews of boys of in blue

Leave rivals in pools of red

Blue sees black

Blue sees red

Black see blue

Black man dead

Michael Brown

Grayrick Fred

Too soon both dead

No reason for suspicion

Just black and capable on a mission

Traffic cops out here trafficking

While black men steady panicking

White beat cops, beat black

Faces blue, then beat cases

Rewrite the truth

Verdicts left on read

Justice

Naw truth ain't always

What they say it is

Just ice

Cold hard facts

Just institutionalized

Cycle of poverty

Dreams stuck in traffic

No opportunity just stick to trapping

Bouncing rubber, sing a song

Bebop dat jazz rapping

Under white moonlight

See the blackest hue blue

As the color all bloods flows

Even crips bleed

Red, black, and blue melting pot

Choice is yours, can't you see

We're all we got

Dam

Must be two sides

Blocked

River water

One bitter pill to swallow

Served on a steel platter

Stop spilling bloods

Cause lives, still matter

Red, black, and blue

Red, black, and blues

Red, black, and blues
