The Color ft. Santos Lyrics

Shoot us down cause we brown

Chew us down we hit the ground

Foot or knee or burn it down

All the same you put us down

I, wish that I could say that it was because my hands was down

But last time I put them up you cops had put us down

Very fine, I guess them people, they were just too brown

Shit be peachy if my skin was peachy when I stood my ground

What my crime be

Joggin or jargon

Bird watching you watch me

Protectors and servers crack nigga's noggins just cuz they watchin

Rona took my job in april, got all may to be marching

Eyes burn gas teary, need that dairy for washing

Washington watching

Ignoring k in cops

Though there’s three of em

Seeing them

Mean, believing them

Beating us

While my taxes is feeding them

Meanwhile blacks is just bleeding and

Congress full up of leaches and

Vampires

Man virus

Seem so long ago, hunh

Racism racing in hating covid stole the show

Nigga want his spot back

So he pop back

To pop backs

And snap necks

And suffocate

Niggas under knees of cops

And copping pleas

Just tryna breath

Your honor please

You took a oath fuck sake honor ya promises

For once see pass the color my skin judge us properly

We got the devil toting a bible in front of a church

He seeding fear to the birds on the perch

I ain’t listening

I trust my wings in search of truth

And trust my wings for the sake of the youth

Wake up wake up

Don’t you dare hit the snooze

We getting older but this shit on the news

It ain’t changing

This the rhythm, the blues

We talk the talk

Time to put on the shoes

And walk the walk

Yeah I’m looking at you

Yeah I’m looking at you

You want justice

Well it just is

What it is

Is what they telling you

And if you got the melanin

Then you a felon too

Mass incarceration isolating

When they celling you

They bottle it up

And slap a label on it

Cause they selling you

We say his name

Like he can hear us still

We say her name

This shit way too real

Say them with me

Cause I know feel

Rest in power

To the kings and queens

They just wanted to breathe

I can’t breathe

Supposed to save my life

I can’t breathe

For a son daughter husband or wife

I can’t breathe

I can’t

I can’t breathe

Didn’t even think twice

I can’t breathe

Fuck this shit ain’t right
