I pick the bluest pen and think about the indigo/ Feeling as Blue as the miles Davis record yo/ Beneath the Service of a skin that ain't perfect/ The color blue Moves through my veins with a purpose see/ A almond eyed Girl named Pecola woulda told ya/ The bluest eye Something like a killer roller coaster/ In fact its the Same color kings used to rain/ Indigo, the Reason why slaves was in chains/ They want to be Royal, see your hue is/ Dependent on the blues you put us through/ They try ta say we Spoiled, but the truth is/ That their Means are as crude as oil, see, ya False Generosity, got you jockin' me/ Mad cause im Collectin' ends to get some property/ Whether collecting Ps or that Dirty green cream/ This deep color blue is in every colored theme/ This dark blue current is in every colored’s theme/ See, the color Green ain't the currency/ Its more like them Blue that Frank served to fiends/ Addicted are You to the deep color blue/ That marks all the sadness in everything me do/ Politicin' over proclamation that will/ Free a nation of black bodies stuck in an occupation/ Meanwhile Islands that are seen as Haitian fought for their/ Librations but didn’t get to sit with over nations So what’s July 4th to the Negro? If she never knew her freedom until June yo/ She didn’t know she was with child until the third trimester/ But liberation was always her’s she didn’t need his words/ Liberation was always her but you know (Its like that)/ When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/ Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/ Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/ The pain will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past/ Ima, Black artist, entrepreneur, crafting/ intellectual property that I procure unalienable/ I am human, my gift of rap is a/ testament to all that but the fact still remains/ The ownership of what you create is still in chains/ They still policing bodies and putting them in a cage/ So much to stress him, that why I got to tap a higher lesson/ The beauty of Black art’s Devine intervention/ I said the beauty of Black art is Devine (Its like that)/ When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/ Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/ Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/ The pain will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past (Its like that)/ When you Black and your skin is all you have and you/ Can’t escape the past cause you been through all that (Its like that)/ Got to Craft, got to put art to that cause/ The pain (paint) will crack the mask that we wear to hid the past/ (Thats why I) Came with the Matt black rap when I backpack/ No white washed type raps, that’s a fact that/ Some who do this craft can’t seem to grasp that/ Paint there voices mad black, minstrelin' in the back/ (round) I see they stool the soul, took the gold in tow/ (tone) Liking my oppression as if I just stub my toe/ Telling white lies is like minimal sentencing/ For them white lines, between a judge and a rock [ma man] it’s like a/ Life time So what copy rights do I have/ When the Rock and Roll was stolen from ma Fam/ Mean While Slavers Decedents party on Ocean 11/ Yacht rock on their boats with hoes and Steppin’/ To “Blessing Rains in Africa” But/ They don’t want the Reign of Afro-kin/ yup They like to claim that I came right after them/ But really I nurtured them, And still some how they call me the worthless one/
