Colors
[Verse 1: Thom Khemet]

They only see what they want to see
Color of my skin
Makes me a deviant
I gotta work 40 years
Just to see
What they get in ten
No intention
For they attention
Trying to build up my own
But the system is broken
How can I build with no home?
Tired of staying up hoping
I know you never owned people
You just privilege from your own people
Who used to own people
Stole homes
From those people
Making all your arguments feeble
Every conversation
Taking place like it's in the early A.M
Every confrontation
Scared I might not walk away from
'Cuz it's scary when a nigga gets mad
He might pop off and show off his ass
If I was seeing red
They might just pop two in my head
And show you that true color instead
Grey tones
For the young republicans
Blasting 'Redbone'
Thinking they know the problem to solve
'Cuz it's all lives matter until there's color involved
Uh huh
[Hook: Thom Khemet]

I've been looking towards the sky
Wondering why
They see the world so black and white
If you try
You can see the colors through your
I've been looking towards the sky
Wondering why
They see the world so black and white
If you try
You can see the colors through your
Eyes

[Verse 2: Saynt Gavi]

They said it ain't got shit to do with skin color
All men created equal ain't no one above another
So why's my family not allowed
This side of the border said "your peoples too wild
We need some law and order"
But if race is a social construct
Then how does that control my conduct
And if the law color blind
And y'all just punishing crime
Then why's it fucking look like you drawing enemy lines up?
And why's it feel like it's our fault each time a crime's done?
It means the system
Has been designed for
The explicit benefit
Of its designers
My fucking president don't represent me
He said my people rapist and killers on live T.V
And he don't give no fucks and we all got to leave
And that's the person in charge of this society
But it's got nothing to do with skin color
We post-racial
We all love one another in this nation
With equal representation
And no colors
No colors
[Hook: Thom Khemet]

I've been looking towards the sky
Wondering why
They see the world so black and white
If you try
You can see the colors through your
I've been looking towards the sky
Wondering why
They see the world so black and white
If you try
You can see the colors through your
Eyes

I've been looking towards the sky
Wondering why
They see the world so black and white
If you try
You can see the colors through your
I've been looking towards the sky
Wondering why
They see the world so black and white
If you try
You can see the colors through your
Eyes
