Color of my skin ft. Jongnic Bontemps Lyrics

Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing

Go ahead

I wanna get into it, man, you know

Go ahead

Can I count it off

Go ahead

One, two, three, four

I had a dream the other night

Bunch of sweat came pouring from my head

My homie just got shot

The nigga took a bullet to the head

And everywhere that I look around

I always wonder yo 'what's goin' down

How the hell did we get here

And why does life always seem to play unfair

Sometimes I look at my momma, though

My dreams, my girls, even wonder about my father, too

Sometimes I wonder how my story ends

Will I fall?

Will I ever make it big?

Will I call it off?

Will he make it, will he see more

I never understood y'all, but yo

If I never hit stardom and hit rock bottom

At least I went out like a G instead of cryin'

Color of my skin

Is it the color of my skin

Dang, they ain't seein' who I am

All because my clothes and the color of my skin

Color of my skin

Is it the color of my skin

Dang, they ain't seein' who I am

All because my clothes and the color of my skin

I wanna be a pilot

I wanna be the plane man

I wanna be the astronaut

Momma want me make a run to the store

But I'm scared cause they on that corner sellin' rock

Sometimes I feel like I'll never make it

Sometimes I feel like it's over, man

And sometimes I wanna get high

But just end up sober again

Struggle with anxiety, even depression

While my homies got me pulled up, man, peer pressure

In the city of lost dreams where it's no hope

And they quick to put you down like a life rope

And sometimes I might can see it through a blindfold

And sometimes I might wake up with my eyes closed

But never hit stardom and hit rock bottom

At least I went' out like a G and died tryin'

Color of my skin

Is it the color of my skin

Dang, they ain't seein' who I am

All because my clothes and the color of my skin

Color of my skin

Is it the color of my skin

Dang, they ain't seein' who I am

All because my clothes and the color of my skin
