Wanna make the people feel something
But if I can't speak the truth,
don't feel nothing
I gotta speak my mind
It's a lot on my mind
Scared of what I'll say next I'm
just waiting for the same text
Cause the real is just too real
They don't care how I feel
I'm a brown boy livin' in a white world
Little shame to my brown skin
Not brown enough,
but too brown can't win
They don't even have to
say a damn thing
It's what they do and that's
the same thing
Same thing
Dirty lips at the airport
Cause I'm lookin' like a
thug in my tracksuit
Who even cares what I look like?
They care, they care
It's not fair, it's not fair
Express slangs,
express ways about the feeling about me
I'm good enough but not good
enough to say anything
My opinion matters only if it's just about me,
not them
Cause they don't
wanna hear a thing
They just want me to sing
They don't wanna hear a thing
They don't know anything
They just want me to sing
But I'm more than that,
I'm more than that
I'm more
I am the color
I am, I am, I am
You are the color
You are, you are, you are
I am the color
We are, we are, we are
We the color
Yeah
I am the color of you
You are the color of me
Hey, yeah
I am the color of you
Chains are now broken,
praise to the young boy
Blessed to have my grandmother's
blood and this golden skin
I used to try to keep up,
all time I've been more than enough
More than enough
For every hand that you've dealt us,
put it up an d say that you help us
We build from the ground up, oh thank
God that you found us
So you can surround us, oh
Put them up, put them up high,
them come busting through in the night.
It's going down, down, down.
That's how we keep our head
up in the clouds, oh yeah.
I am the color.
I am, I am, I am.
You are the color.
You are, you are, you are.
I am the color.
We are, we are, we are.
We are the color.
You are, yeah.
I am the gun
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
are the gun
You are, you are
I am the gun
Said, don't you know that you are
You are the gun
Uh, I was born and raised in
A -Town
Out of
Nui by the playground
And I put up for my city, though
Same city haters cause our face brown
Same time,
same city love me cause the flow
was the coldest
And it's so sick, I spread the
COVID
And the cops lock me up because my nose big I'm
from the east side streets, through the
concrete I grew like a rose did
The
Pacific
Ocean, we rode it
And I own shit before
you knew what a boat is
I am the color of the truth
and you know this
On my shoulders,
the future hope has been
bestowed
And I never fold it
I'ma go in and take back
everything that was stolen
I am the color
