Intro:
To live and die in Amerikkka
My niggas died by Amerikkka
My momma cried in Amerikkka
Will I survive in Amerikkka
Look At the man the mirror huh
Could you see your soul clearer huh
It's time to manifest the vision uh
Hope my people liste
Color Us
Verse 1:
Truth be told
Up in my soul
I've been thinking bout it way to long it's getting old
Momma worry bout when I'm walking out her door
Standing on the porch I see a trail of gun smoke Bang
Another nigga being murdered by his own kind
It's a sign that my own brother tryna take mine
Hate on me nigga yeah you hate yourself take from me Nigga what that make yourself?
Look while I'm looking for reasons
Living in conditions where crimes how I'm eating
I can't be a vegan it's to many niggas beefing
Dealing with my problems the lies I'm believing
Like You ain't shit unless you lit or you telling a joke you ain't legit unless you Gangsta or peddling smoke
I need to know if it's better to vote
Cause where I'm from all know you make that money when you selling that dope
It's a hustle ambition
A black man vision
In a new world order
Man f*ck a politician
We tryna make a living
But my upbringing different
Live by the code
We don't do no snitching
I rather
Rob Peter
To pay Paul
Muthaf*ck a day job
Never take a day off
Everyday I go hard
I'm doing well so far
Looking to sky searching for that North Star
That Underground Railroad got me out that hail hole
Will I live lord knows
Looking like the scape Goat
Wonder why the hate for
Probably cause I make more
Sense then a lil bit
I'm dark and I'm militant
Never been ignorant
Do this for my family
Verse 2:
Color us black
Like there depictions is fact
F*ck around with our books
To keep the agenda in tact
What you know bout gravey
You see how they did Malcolm
You see I come from the Mecca
They don't know nothing bout it
You see the African in me
Maybe that's why they envy
Empower block
They'll get a brother to kill me
They know greed can be filthy
All know my real ones goin feel me
See how they did it to Nipsey
Made me look at my city
I gotta take a stand and be a man
And find my way up
Ain't no sleeping on
Muhf*cka betta stay up
Can't talk about my failures
Cause my failures made me win
Ima always help my brother cause I love you till the end
Cause the enemy
Ain't never been you and me
Always been the otherside
If we speaking truthfully
We ain't wat we used to be
You ain't even know that
Let me paint the picture for you
America won't show that
Poem:
To live in die in amerikkka
To many lies in amerikkka
Can't look in the eyes of amerikkka
Something we despise about amerikkka
Who will survive in amerikkka
Color coded language
It's always been dangerous
For my malenated dreams
When I fall to the bottom
Watch me climb a never ending battle
What is known to man as the American Dream
F*ck your system
F*ck your thoughts
F*ck your favors
You can't be comfortable where you
Live if your hurt your neighbors
Hid history for the ones who exposed your hatred
Now you know who dangerous
The jig is up pusher man
I ain't buying what you selling
Besides we can't vote cause we felons
Off the same shit you selling
Ima tell it like it is
You killed our own fathers
But them niggas got kids
They sons got older
And they dreams got big
Now we going decide who dies and live
