Lyrics:
on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Loving her was easier than
with two tongues but no green card
my skin marked by the immigration narratives of my people drifting a-part
Of the two worlds I reside in the high
Just forget all about fate
While I unlock this gentleman's promise
With flesh like fire but it lacks a color
And chemical laughs (that) fly around
colors, flowers, hours left in the day. Yeah, what I think is what I say.
Springtime is here, time to shed our fears from the winter. I've got places
the rain
Tattered clothes and darkened eyes
Saddened by the pain she goes down
To the bridge outside of town
Verse:
The bayou baby slips into her color
really want to make me cry
Precious kisses
Words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart the fire's burning
Choose my color
Find a star
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I
up where they showed you the body count
In color on the dinner TV
And I've been numbed so insensitive
That all I can think about is you and me
Children
action
Systematic passion
Daylight stepping in the night
Colors change to black and white.
Lover
Don't waste your time
'cause you can make a move.
ride the engines of pimps
The colors were candy coated, incredible rims
And my dreams of what people sayin, don't get a job
I realize now it was all
righteous, some criminal, what is it now?
Do we all stand up the same?
Do we all fare equal in this life of game?
I don't think so, the color of the skin
the colors, I see crimson, black and blue (come on)
Locking open doors again, I'm still afraid of you (straight up, mother fucker)
Light to dark, then light
we condone reap what we've sown.
People fight for equality for their gender and their race.
They seek to blame each other for the problems that they
of gold
Too hard for me to hold
Is it the power of blood
The color leaves me cold
Is it the power of truth
To keep my faith in you
Is it the power,
[Chorus: x4]
Music has no color like you wouldn't if you couldn't see your skin.
Now it's time to rearrange, and tell me now where we begin.
What
I see a red door, and I want it painted black,
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black,
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer
you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why.
In my heart the fire is burning
Choose my color find
Although you see the world
Different from me
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see
All the new colors
And pictures you've designed
and five cent, now fate
Me and my cousin's tight, the youngest out my nanny grandbabies
Let me show ya why life is crazy
When we used to sham people, it

Find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step
A step too far
*Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to
Make me
for money someone sell they soul
Picking sides, choosin' colors, fight for blocks we don't own
And we grow, to show no emotion, though we stress
found out
But when I get some plasticine
I know what that's about
I play my world of real believe
I play it every day
People stand and watch me
You always loved the colors and the details, so here's mine: I snuck out down a dark 17th Street late last night. I took my little orange book lamp
on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Loving her was easier than
