Verse 1
(A minor) Wanna make the people feel something
But (G major) (C major) if I can't speak the (D minor) truth,
don't feel nothing (C major) (D minor)
I gotta speak my mind
It's a lot on (E minor) my mind
Scared of what I'll (A minor) say nex (E minor) t I'm (D minor)
just waiting for the same tex (A minor) t
Cause the real is just too real
They (G major) don't care how (C major) I feel
I'm a brown (A minor) boy livin' in a white (D minor) world
Little shame to my brown skin
Not brown enough,
but too brown can (E minor) 't win
They don't even have to
say a dam (G major) n thing
(A minor) It's what (D minor) they do and that's
the same thing
(A minor) Same thing
Dirty lips at the airport
Cause (C major) I'm lookin' like (G major) a
thug in my track (C major) suit
Who even cares what I look like? (A minor)
(D minor) They care, they (A minor) care
It's (G major) (A minor) not (E minor) fair, it's not fair (A minor)
Express slangs,
express ways about (G major) the feeling about me (C major)
I'm good enough but not (D minor) good
enough to say (A minor) anything
(G major) My (D minor) opinion matters only if it's just about me,
(E minor) not them
Cause (G major) they don't
wanna hear a thing (A minor)
They just want me to sing
(G major) They don't wanna hear a thing
They (C major) don't know anything
(A minor) They (D minor) just want me to sing
(A minor) But (C major) I'm (D minor) more than (A minor) that,
(C major) I'm more than that (A minor)
(E minor) I'm more (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
I am the color
I (D minor) am, (A minor) I am, (G major) I (A minor) am
You are the color
You (D minor) are, (A minor) you are, (G major) you (A minor) are
(D minor) I am the color
We are, we are, we are (G major)
We the color
(D minor) Yeah (A minor)
I am (G major) the color of (F major) you
You are the color (E minor) of me (D minor)
Hey, (C major) yeah (E minor)
I am the col (G major) or of you (F major)
Chains are now broken,
(A minor) praise (G major) to the young (F major) boy
Blessed to have my grandmother's (A minor)
blood an (G major) d this golden skin (F major)
I used to try to keep (A minor) up,
all time (G major) I've been (F major) more than enough
More (A minor) than enough (G major)
For (F major) every hand that you've dealt us,
put it up (A minor) an d say that you help us
(G major) We build from (F major) the ground up, oh thank
God that you found us
(A minor) So you can surround (G major) us, oh
Put (F major) them up, put them up high,
them come (A minor) busting through in (G major) the night.
(F major) It's going down, down, down.
(A minor) That's how we keep our head
up in (G major) the clouds, oh yeah. (A minor)
I am the color.
I am, (G major) I am, I am.
(A minor) You are the color.
You (D minor) are, you are, (G major) you are. (D minor)
I am the color.
We are, we are, (G major) we are.
We are the color.
You are, yeah.
I (A minor) am the gun
Say, yeah, yeah, (G major) yeah, yeah, (F major) yeah
are the gun
You are, you are (E minor)
I (D minor) am the gun
Said, don't you know (C major) that you are
You (E minor) are the gun (A major) (E minor)
(A minor) Uh, I was born and raised in
A -Town
Out of
Nui by the playground (C major)
And I (A minor) put up for my city, though
Same city haters cause our (C major) face brown
(A minor) Same time,
same city love me cause the flow
was the coldest
And it's so (A minor) sick, I spread the
COVID
And the cops lock (A minor) me up because my (C major) nose big I'm
(A minor) from the east side streets, through the
concrete I (A minor) grew like a rose did
The
Pacific
Ocean, we (A minor) rode it
And I own shit before
you (C major) knew what a boat is
I am the (A minor) color of the truth
and you know this
On my shoulders,
the future hope has been
bestowed
And I (A minor) never fold it
I'ma go in and take back
everything (A minor) that was (C major) stolen
I (A minor) am the color
