Sound of pages turning
The book of colors (The book of colors)
Humm
Chapter one (Chapter one)

Yo, feels like a cold world is all that we be livin' in
Long as we gettin' dividends in the form of a benjamin
We lost sight of what independence is
Countin' our interests we need to be interested in the Jena Six
I'm finna get, in the mix
Usher out you lunatics those who forgot they permission slips I ain't gettin' with
The way we livin' sick like rigorous syphilis
Every song needs censorship, but what happened to penmanship?
I'm not saying I'm innocent, cuz know I'm quite guilty
Wrote this verse without anesthetics hopin' you might feel me
Like Drizzy, but I'm makin' it rain knowledge
Stayin' sharp as nails throughout college, keepin' my brain polished
It's never too late to make the change if you acknowledge
The path that you chose and wrong signs that you followed
Every word is symbolic so don't wonder if you got it
Yo it's like a cheetah my man, sometimes you gotta spot it

When reading the book of colors
What page are you on
You been around since day six
How you a slave and pawn
Believing what you see on your mini tv
This ain't black and white this is you this is me 
When reading the book of colors
What page are you on
You been around since day six
How you a slave and pawn
Believing what you see on your mini tv
This ain't black and white this is you this is me 

(Yo) They say black people do this and white people do that
You can't believe every statement like it's a true fact
Now, now where's your source 
No I ain't talkin' bout the magazine or
What you saw watchin' tv on your plasma screen
Gotta think outside of the box, if not
Your news station could be just as sly as a fox
Before you know it, see false accusations are made
And you were tryna float. now you can't make the parade
It's funny the way, things play out without a strategy
Lack of tranquility is absolutely sad to see
Do you want to be a veteran or just a casualty
Fight the war organisms like the kids in The Faculty
You want to know what's crazy
Government is mad at me
Cuz I'm a college grad with the natural born black disease
Negative statements make me grow like a Canopy
And my family tree carries the weight of humanity 

When reading the book of colors
What page are you on
You been around since day six
How you a slave and pawn?
Believing what you see on your mini tv
This ain't black and white this is you this is me 
When reading the book of colors
What page are you on
You been around since day six
How you a slave and pawn
Believing what you see on your mini tv
This ain't black and white this is you this is me 

Now back to the subject, take out your books
I'm God's son, it's bout time that I made you look
Back into the past, now must I remind you
Life is videotape let me rewind you
Play the scene of Harriet Tubman and the railroad
Days blacks were brought to America on a sailboat
Fast forward to the scene Martin Luther King
Civil Rights activist equality fiend
Pause the day Obama won the election
Never was expected but very much respected
The media rejected but the people selected
Finally corrected, and hatred was neglected
Now stop the tape and let the truth penetrate
Food for thought you should let the beat marinate
It doesn't matter what they say cuz there's a better way
Fight till' your hearts cold and your soul levitates

When reading the book of colors
What page are you on
You been around since day six
How you a slave and pawn
Believing what you see on your mini tv
This ain't black and white this is you this is me 
When reading the book of colors
What page are you on
You been around since day six
How you a slave and pawn
Believing what you see on your mini tv
This ain't black and white this is you this is me
