Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Crazy things I see every single day All of this tension is caused by race So many killings of my people and it just seems they Don't give a shit if we live or die; concrete hate Because of that fear, we stay in oppression Second guessin' our mental blessing's T' get the best moments out of life's treasures In a prison of the mind, we find We're too blind to keep our eyes on the prize And we try and try again t' get defeated The future seems bleak, 'cause the past has been repeated Cheated out a better life, the fallacies of our leaders Are breedin' heathens kneaded with inner demons That's fuelin' they inner bein' I think about it and just get depressed But I gotta stay up, I got a life to invest, man If you ever felt like me, embrace ya heart No matter what shade you are, the colors The world is such a crazy place Blinded by the shady gray I open my eyes and I find The colors, the colors Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo I'm unapologetically black And from the hood, but that ain't holdin' me back Every single day I had to fight for the life I have Welfare recipient, smart and black I use to get talked about for speakin' proper But that proper talk got me respected, by everybody I met with How you think I got t' China, dawg? I know how t' talk like a brotha from the streets and the corner Office and on the off chance, you guessed my preference I'm attracted t' the Asian women I met a babe way back in the day That made me feel everyday was a chance to be great Heavy debate if it was real or a phase But I finally accepted it with love and embrace I got alotta flack for how I feel But it's the sacrifice you make for your reel, the colors The world is such a crazy place Blinded by the shady gray I open my eyes and I find The colors, the colors Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo You ever notice kids and how they freely speak the truth It's crazy 'cause they don't give a damn if it's you Man they'll keep it 100 when you engage 'em in discussion They ain't leavin out nothin' 'cause they ain't playin' by the rules Every kid I've encountered had one thing in common They wasn't bothered by the color of my skin But by the content of my character, that's Martin Luther You can learn a thing or two from a child and the way they move Man they inspire me t' be a better man I look at they truth and try t' apply it t' my plans I understand it ain't a perfect world But with just a little love, I feel that the hate can unfurl A wise man told me that every road we take Will make or break tomorrows and today I'ma aid in the way I know, through my music and the way I flow Embrace the children of the world, the colors The world is such a crazy place Blinded by the shady gray I open my eyes and I find The colors, the colors Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo Doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
