WHERE I GREW UP, THERE WAS BLACK AND WHITE
OUR CRAYON COLORS, AS IS CHALK TO MIDNIGHT.
GRANDPARENTS TO PARENTS WERE THE COLOR OF LOVE
IGNORANCE COLORED IN WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PUSH OR SHOVE.
AS COLOR DOESN'T MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO LAWS
EVEN IN UNLOVING HEARTS OR SHOWING OUR DIRTY DRAWERS.
PEACE IN THE CITY WE HAD MANY MOMENTS OF SILENCE
THEN SHAME CAME, PITY TOO, WE'D HELP SQUASH THE VIOLENCE.
MATURED QUICKLY, NOTHING TO PROVE, HAD NO ENEMIES
GRANDPA SAID YOUR ENEMY WAS INSIDE, IN THE INNER ME.
WE ALL KNOW HATE AND RACISM EXCITES ITS STUPIDITY
BUT A CRAYON COLOR TITLE TO A RACE IS OUT OF PLACE SEE.
RUNNING THIS RACE WE EARN THEN LEARN TO DUST OR SWEEP
BEING RESPONSIBLE IS COLORLESS, WHEN EARNING OUR KEEP.
I SEE, AS MANY DO, LIFE HAS US EITHER HURTFUL OR HELPFUL
AND BEING CREATURES OF LOVE, LOVING AND HELPING IS PLENTIFUL!
MANY HAVE THIS POOR MENTALITY OF I'M HUNGRY OR STARVING
LETS SEE, SPIRITUAL FOOD, PHYSICAL FOOD, WHAT ARE YOU CARVING?
RAINBOW COALITIONS TO REPRESENT THE COLOR OF ONE'S SKIN
FOLKS WANT BILLS PAID, COMMUNICATION, REAL NOT FAKE MEDICINE.
THE GOD OF LIFE IS WATCHING ALL, REPRSENTING LOVE WITH A SMILE
TO MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, OUR GOD COULD'VE SAT FOR A WHILE.
SO, IN THIS SOCIETY THAT IS SO PATIENT WHEN NURTURING IMPATIENCE
ONE MISSES A KEY TO A LIFE THAT PATIENTLY LOVES, AS WE'RE THE EVIDENCE.
WE'D BENEFIT KNOWING LIFE GIVES BIRTH TO LIFE, STRESS TO STRIFE
WHO COULD'VE KNOWN BLACKNESS PATIENTLY GAVE BIRTH TO LIGHT?
I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF UPLIFTING THE RACE, I SEE IT AS THE HUMAN RACE
OTHERWISE FOR ME I'D OMIT ANOTHER COLOR, SIMPLY PUT, I'D ERASE.
PAIN NOR DEATH, OR EVEN WEALTH CHECKS OUT THE SKIN I'M WEARING
IT'S UNHEALTHY TRYING TO BE STEALTHY WHEN GOD SEES OUR SIN. YEAH, MAMA AND DADDY PUSHED AHEAD, FOUGHT BATTLES LOVING BLACK
FOUGHT OLE' HATE, THEY'RE GONE NOW, THEY KEPT ON FIGHTING LACK.
NO ONE'S GONNA GIVE UP THE SECURITY/SURETY OF LIFE, KEEP PATROLLING
THE BATTLE IS MAINLY INSIDE NOT OUTSIDE, IT'S BASELESS CONTROLLING.
THE LION THAT NURTURED A BEAR CUB DIDN'T SAY “YOU HAD BETTER ROAR”
NO, IT RUBBED ITS BACK, KEPT IT WARM ALSO IN TIMES BEING SICK OR SORE.
MR. TEE SAID “I PITY THE FOOL”, A BIT ROUGH, BUT THAT TOO IS COLORBLIND
ABSENCE OF SELF LOVE, ONE CAN'T LOVE OTHERS, THIS I DO FIND.
MANKIND SEEMS TO BE PUTTING A STAMP ON LIFES CAMPS TO KEEP UP
KEEP COUNT, SO AS TO DECEIVE, I'D RATHER DRINK FROM THE HOLY CUP.
YES, JUST LIFT UP THE 'CARPET OF ROADS' MANKIND HAS LAID DOWN
QUICKLY REARRANGING FATHER'S HOME, COLORED BLIND, I PRAY HE'S SMILING, NO FROWN!
