This track is perfect way to describe the feelings I have about my art and being a COLOR
lyrics
VERSE:
Real black is chocolate
Father of the angry rap
And I dont take shit
My kids are grown for that
Clothes stay fresh my COLOR comes out proper
Old money coming in, looking for the sponsor
Sitting at the college, refuse to waste the years
Education aint the only thing that gets a brother here
Success as it appears, is hard for those aspiring
Can not participate if you only admiring
Rocks can never shine
No matter how you polish it
Race for a dream
Some people's drives is counterfeit
I possess the opposite and engine with an oil change
you can run your mouth but we don't say the same thing
BLUE is like a monster
There is nothing to question
Not a lot of people survive what I'm raised in
I don't hold favors
Above labor
Working in society, but none of that applies to me
Never liked straight lines
I don't follow orders
I'd die for this COLOR like a fish outta water
Pride in my stride, I'm like the light in the tunnel
Virginia on my back I QB for the huddle
And with ease you'll believe a higher power is my voice of reason
Not these frequent conversations with personal demons
we all got a side that we hide for a reason
So we apply pressure when nothing is bleeding
CHORUS:
Uh!
Like a fish outta water
(never like straight lines I don't follow orders)
I'd die for this COLOR like a fish outta water
(2x)
