I Am The Colour (feat. Jordan Gavet & Scribe)

Wanna make the people feel something But if I can't speak the truth they don't feel nothing I gotta speak my mind, it's a lot on my mind Just 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 it feels I'm a brown boy living in a white world Little ashamed of my brown skin Not brown enough but too brown can't win They don't even have to say a damn thing What they doing that's the same thing (same thing) Dread locks to the airport 'Cause I'm looking like a thug in my track suit Who even cares what I look like They care, they care It's not fair, it's not fair Express lanes, express ways about their feelings 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 colour) I am, I am, I am (You are the colour) You are, you are, you are (I am the colour) We are, we are, we are (We are the colour) Yeah (I am the colour) I am the colour (You are the colour) You are the colour of me (I am the colour) Hey, yeah, yeah (you are the colour) I am the colour of you Chains are now broken Praise to the Almighty Blessed have my grandmother's blood Endless 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 dealt us Put shit up and 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 'em up, put 'em up high Them come bustin' through in the night It's goin' down, down, down That's how we keep our head up in the clouds, oh yeah (I am the colour) I am, I am, I am (You are the colour) You are, you are, you are (I am the colour) We are, we are, we are (We are the colour) You are, yeah (I am the colour) Say yeah, yeah, yeah (You are the colour) You are, you are (I am the colour) Said don't you know that you are (You are the colour) 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 I face brown Same time, same city love me 'cause the flow is 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 coast and we rode it And I owned ship before you knew what a boat is I am the colour with the truth and you know this On my shoulders the future hope has been bestowed and I never folded I'ma go in and take back everything that was stolen (I am the colour)
