Color Me

It's a fire in the hills, ashes on my soul

They gon' watch it burn, they gon' watch it burn slow

Color me, color me, color me, color me

Black out, it's a black out

Unchained and we back out

Feel like a savior to many

My people, my struggle, your soul feelin' empty

I been at it since a young nigga

This me ventin', I ain't done with it

Steal the culture then they run with it

Self-hatred made y'all complacent

Pay attention what you put your faith in

Dollar bills with no black faces

Just black suits and some court cases

Black fathers get thrown in cages

Go to war for an education

T.V. screens still manipulatin'

Because of color all I saw was hatred

I ain't mad I'm just frustrated

It's a fire in the hills, ashes on my soul

They gon' watch it burn, they gon' watch it burn slow

Color me, color me, color me, color me

It's a fire in the hills, ashes on my soul

They gon' watch it burn, they gon' watch it burn slow

Color me, color me, color me, color me

Lift your sisters and your brothers up

Spread love then we comin' up

First, let me talk about it all

Hung nooses then we cut 'em off

This whole world like a jigsaw

You don't even love yourself, brother

You don't even want to help brothers

What that say about you?

What it say about the system we livin' in?

The money he makin' is minimum

The government want to get rid of him

So they gonna paint him as criminal

These politicians be so cynical

I can read 'em through they interviews

Try to paint us evil through the news

Fuck CNN, fuck ABC, fuck Fox News, fuck 'em all

Truth be told they want to kill us off

Black man fallin' to the law

You'll never catch me with the devil dancin'

Past life I was Fred Hampton

Now I'm feelin' like I'm Huey Newton

If they try me, I'ma die shootin'

Black God in the wrong nation

Take a bullet for our liberation

Said I'm woke and that I'm too abrasive

Dolla' bills filled with fuckin' rapists

Power be the only thing you chasin'

My people only thing I'm savin'

Blowin' up, I'm illuminatin'

Eliminating anybody want it

The end is near, know our time's comin'

It's a fire in the hills, ashes on my soul

They gon' watch it burn, they gon' watch it burn slow

Color me, color me, color me, color me

Color me, color me, color me, color me

Color me, color me, color me, color me

Color me, color me, color me, color me
