Part 1 - True Colors
[Intro]
This ain't nothin' nigga. All this gang bangin' shit? It ain't nothin' homie, it ain't nothin'. I'd give it up, I'm in this shit for a purpose man. I got a reason dude to get up out of this shit nigga. All that shit ain't nothin' homie. Ask yourself what color is the flag? (Red, white, and blue). Yup, red, white, and blue. Now what two colors did we pick? I'm talkin' bout we as black people, what two colors? Think about it, we picked red and blue, what's left? White. Damn right nigga we killin' each other homie
[Sample: Ice T] I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking
King of my jungle just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose
Red or blue, cuz or blood, it just don't matter
[Verse 1] My daddy was from Nutty Blocc
My uncle was from Nutty Blocc
My mama was from Hoover, how she end up here cuttin' rock?
Four year old on her lap, that was my older sister Photos of Tookie and my father, now you get the picture
Cutlass outside on D's, you think it wasn't 15 inches, had Computer Love, subbin' My parents bout to see Rocky at the Compton Drive In
Halfway through the movie her stomach start throbbin' My pops start panicin', moms in the passenger seat Scared of contractions so she's stiff as a mannequin Pops put the car in reverse and then skrt'd out "Drive motherfucker" them the words my mom skrt'd out 80 down Wilmington, pull up at Killer King
Rush my mama to her room and let the doctor do his thing Was a whole lotta blood, yeah I was born in it
Gang banging my family got torn in it, all over
[Hook] Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
[Verse 2] Jordan got drafted to the Bulls, '85 here
My Uncle Greg sniffin' cocaine off my high chair
Mama in the kitchen cookin', pops on the couch baggin'
Cousin's loadin' Louie Vuitton duffles in the Station Wagon
Fiends walkin' in and out my house in old Nikes
Pops used to tell me: "Son, don't you ever be like me The Bloods want to kill me,
the cops'll never catch me And when you gang bangin' life's shorter than Joe Pesci
'' Then one night my pops came home off heroin Shit changed, I'm glad my mama didn't marry him Molested my sister that night cause she was scared I was too young to help her and my brothers wasn't there It was late night, 2AM, my mother at work My sister came back up the stairs and it was blood on her shirt Blood on her face, blood on her hands, blood on her legs Turned on the light and everything was red I'm surrounded by [Hook] Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors [Verse 3] Seven years passed, now a lil nigga seeing things
Playin' with the birds like Magic, we was the dream team
Posted up on the block, I had that Hakeem lean Watchin' '64s hop my nigga, no green screen Walkin' from the Tanas to the Cedars with my eyes closed
Red bandanna in my pocket, how you hide those?
Larry Nickles crack spot
, my brother got me servin'
Couldn't cook, burnin' holes in my Dennis Rodman jersey
Then a nigga turned Pippen on these niggas 40 sippin' on these niggas If you Crippin', we was trippin' on you nigga
But the Crips would never lay down
They thought that it was they town
We thought it was ours so we would empty out the trey pounds
Ditched school especially since it was an all Crip school
I'm lucky I'm alive, but would you be if bullets hit you? 26 dead homies and 2 dead brothers
Compton is a cold motherfucker
Niggas dyin' over
[Hook] Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors Part 2 - It's On [Hook]
If someone took the flag out my pocket
Wrap it around my knuckles, make a fist and lock it
If someone took the flag out my pocket
Wrap it around my knuckles, make a fist and lock it
If someone took the flag out my pocket
Wrap it around my knuckles, make a fist and lock it
If someone took the flag out my pocket
Wrap it around my knuckles, make a fist and lock it
