I pick the bluest pen and think about the indigo/ 

Feeling as Blue as the miles Davis record yo/

Beneath the Service of a skin that ain't perfect/

The color blue Moves through my veins with a purpose see/

A almond eyed Girl named Pecola woulda told ya/

The bluest eye Something like a killer roller coaster/ 

In fact its the Same color kings used to rain/

Indigo, the Reason why slaves was in chains/

They want to be Royal, see your hue is/

Dependent on the blues you put us through/

They try ta say we Spoiled, but the truth is/

That their Means are as crude as oil, see, ya 

False Generosity, got you jockin' me/

Mad cause im Collectin' ends to get some property/

Whether collecting Ps or that Dirty green cream/ 
 
This deep color blue is in every colored theme/ 

This dark blue current is in every colored’s theme/

See, the color Green ain't the currency/ 

Its more like them Blue that Frank served to fiends/

Addicted are You to the deep color blue/

That marks all the sadness in everything me do/

Politicin' over proclamation that will/ 

Free a nation of black bodies stuck in an occupation/ 

Meanwhile Islands that are seen as Haitian fought for their/ 

Librations but didn’t get to sit with over nations 

So what’s July 4th to the Negro?

If she never knew her freedom until June yo/ 

She didn’t know she was with child until the third trimester/ 

But liberation was always her’s she didn’t need his words/ 

Liberation was always her but you know (Its like that)/

When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/

Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/

Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/

The pain will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past/

Ima, Black artist, entrepreneur, crafting/

intellectual property that I procure unalienable/ 

I am human, my gift of rap is a/ 

testament to all that but the fact still remains/

The ownership of what you create is still in chains/

They still policing bodies and putting them in a cage/

So much to stress him, that why I got to tap a higher lesson/

The beauty of Black art’s Devine intervention/

I said the beauty of Black art is Devine (Its like that)/

When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/

Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/

Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/

The pain will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past (Its like that)/

When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/

Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/

Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/

The pain (paint) will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past/

(Thats why I) Came with the Matt black rap when I backpack/

No white washed type raps, that’s a fact that/

Some who do this craft can’t seem to grasp that/

Paint there voices mad black, minstrelin' in the back/ (round) 

I see they stool the soul, took the gold in tow/ (tone)

Liking my oppression as if I just stub my toe/ 

Telling white lies is like minimal sentencing/

For them white lines, between a judge and a rock [ma man] it’s like a/ 

Life time So what copy rights do I have/ 

When the Rock and Roll was stolen from ma Fam/

Mean While Slavers Decedents party on Ocean 11/

Yacht rock on their boats with hoes and Steppin’/ 

To “Blessing Rains in Africa” But/ 

They don’t want the Reign of Afro-kin/ yup 

They like to claim that I came right after them/ But really I

nurtured them, And still some how they call me the worthless one/
