Colors ft. SAWA Lyrics

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Crazy things I see every single day

All of this tension is caused by race

So many killings of my people and it just seems they

Don’t give a shit if we live or die; concrete hate

Because of that fear, we stay in oppression

Second guessin’ our mental blessing’s

T’ get the best moments out of life’s treasures

In a prison of the mind, we find

We’re too blind to keep our eyes on the prize

And we try and try again t’ get defeated

The future seems bleak, ‘cause the past has been repeated

Cheated out a better life, the fallacies of our leaders

Are breedin’ heathens kneaded with inner demons

That’s fuelin’ they inner bein’

I think about it and just get depressed

But I gotta stay up, I got a life to invest, man

If you ever felt like me, embrace ya heart

No matter what shade you are, the colors

The world is such a crazy place

Blinded by the shady gray

I open my eyes and I find

The colors, the colors

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

I’m unapologetically black

And from the hood, but that ain’t holdin’ me back

Every single day I had to fight for the life I have

Welfare recipient, smart and black

I use to get talked about for speakin’ proper

But that proper talk got me respected, by everybody I met with

How you think I got t’ China, dawg?

I know how t’ talk like a brotha from the streets and the corner

Office and on the off chance, you guessed my preference

I’m attracted t’ the Asian women

I met a babe way back in the day

That made me feel everyday was a chance to be great

Heavy debate if it was real or a phase

But I finally accepted it with love and embrace

I got alotta flack for how I feel

But it’s the sacrifice you make for your reel, the colors

The world is such a crazy place

Blinded by the shady gray

I open my eyes and I find

The colors, the colors

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

You ever notice kids and how they freely speak the truth

It’s crazy ‘cause they don’t give a damn if it’s you

Man they’ll keep it 100 when you engage ‘em in discussion

They ain’t leavin out nothin’ ‘cause they ain’t playin' by the rules

Every kid I’ve encountered had one thing in common

They wasn’t bothered by the color of my skin

But by the content of my character, that’s Martin Luther

You can learn a thing or two from a child and the way they move

Man they inspire me t’ be a better man

I look at they truth and try t’ apply it t’ my plans

I understand it ain’t a perfect world

But with just a little love, I feel that the hate can unfurl

A wise man told me that every road we take

Will make or break tomorrows and today

I’ma aid in the way I know, through my music and the way I flow

Embrace the children of the world, the colors

The world is such a crazy place

Blinded by the shady gray

I open my eyes and I find

The colors, the colors

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo

Doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
