evergreen Lyrics

I've been in the wrong place at the right time

I've waited my whole life in the wrong line

my eyes on the road but there ain't no signs of slowing down

I've been off track but I came back round

Fuse is running short but my flame burns on   

I've been catching dreams but I'm waking up

I've see it all

Ain't another run away 

I can stand tall and say you ain't gonna bring me down

We can never be erased 

Written in the heavens babe

Colors that be shining loud

Cause we are evergreen

And when the seasons change we stand serene

Cause we are just our dreams

And in the breeze

we still believe

Whoa, whoa

We're ever green,

We still believe

I'm singing the wrong words in the right song

Were  fighting the wrong war with the right guns

Battling for peace but the puzzles gone so it wages on

We're shining bright light in the dark age

Winters this cold means the summers on it's way

Always in a rush but a little too late

So we carry on

Ain't another run away 

Even when the skys are grey

Our sun will be beaming down

We can never be erased 

Written in the heavens babe colors that be waving proud

Cause we are evergreen

while the seasons change we stand serene

Cause we are just our dreams

And in the breeze

We still believe

Whoa
We're evergreen we still believe

Ain't another runaway
Even when the skys are grey
Our sun will be beamin down
We can never be erased
Written in the heavens babe
Colors that be waving loud

Whoa
We're evergreen we still believe

Let's take it back to 99'

I was just a youngin but my boy was in his prime

Mama used to tell Amadou "color in the lines"


One day you'll find out even the bronx aint color blind

Talk about the wrong place at the right time

Forty one shells on the pavement

19 in a boy that shoulda "picked a lighter pigment"

Mafia men with a badge and a gun

Playing god in a squad car

While the colors run

And nothings black or white but man

I'm starting to believe

That our world would be better if we all were painted green

And every bullet fired by a coward of the skin

Would turn the gun around and pull the trigger once again
