Wanna make the people feel something
But if I can't speak the truth they don't feel nothing
I gotta speak my mind, it's a lot on my mind
Just scared of what I'll say next, I'm just waiting for the same text
'Cause the real is just too real
They don't care how it feels
I'm a brown boy living in a white world
Little ashamed of my brown skin
Not brown enough but too brown can't win
They don't even have to say a damn thing
What they doing that's the same thing (same thing)
Dread locks to the airport
'Cause I'm looking like a thug in my track suit
Who even cares what I look like
They care, they care
It's not fair, it's not fair
Express lanes, express ways about their feelings about me
I'm good enough but not good enough to say anything
My opinion matters only if it's just about me
Not them, 'cause they don't wanna hear a thing
They just want me to sing
They don't wanna hear a thing
They don't know anything
They just want me to sing
But I'm more than that, I'm more than that
I'm more
(I am the colour)
I am, I am, I am (You are the colour)
You are, you are, you are (I am the colour)
We are, we are, we are (We are the colour)
Yeah
(I am the colour)
I am the colour (You are the colour)
You are the colour of me (I am the colour)
Hey, yeah, yeah (you are the colour)
I am the colour of you
Chains are now broken
Praise to the Almighty
Blessed have my grandmother's blood
Endless golden skin
I used to try to keep up
All time I've been more than enough (more than enough)
For every hand that you dealt us
Put shit up and say that you help us
We build from the ground up
Oh thank God that you found us
So you can surround us, oh
Put 'em up, put 'em up high
