Colors - Lyrics by Ice-T


Lyrics
Yo Ease let's do this...

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

Sucker die for your life when my shotgun scatters

We gangs of L.A. will never die - just multiply


You see they hit us then we hit them

Then we hit them and they hit us, man

It's like a war, ya know what I'm sayin'

People dont even understand

They don't even know what they dealing with

You wanna get rid of the gangs it's gonna take a lotta work

But people don't understand the size of this

This is no joke man, this is real


You don't know me, fool

You disown me, cool
I don't need your assistance, social persistance

Any problem I got I just put my fist in

My life is violent but violent is life

Peace is a dream, reality is a knife

My colors, my honour, my colors, my all

With my colors upon me one soldier stands tall

Tell me what have you left me, what have I got

Last night in cold blood my young brother got shot

My home got jacked

My mother's on crack

My sister can't work cause her arms show trax

Madness insanity live in profanity

Then some punk claimin' they understandin' me

Give me a break, what world do you live in

Death is my sect, guess my religion


Yo my brother was a gang banger
and all my homeboys bang
I don't know why I do it man, I just do it
I never had much of nuffin man

Look at you man, you've got everything going for yourself
and I ain't got nuffin man, I've got nuffin
I'm living in the ghetto man
just look at me man, look at me


My pants are saggin braided hair
suckers stare but I don't care
my game ain't knowelgde my game's fear
I've no remorse so squares beware


But my true mission is just revenge
you ain't in my sect, you ain't my friend
wear the wrong color your life could end
homocides my favorite venge


Listen to me man
no matter whatcha do don't ever join a gang
you don't wanna be in it man,

You're just gonna end up in a mix of dead freinds and time in jail I
know, if
I had a chance like you,
I would never be in a gang man
but I didn't have a chance

You know I wish i did

I'll just walk like a giant police defiant
you'll say to stop but I'll say that I cant
my gangs my family its all that I have
I'm a star, on the walls is my autograph


You don't like it, so you know where you can go
cause the streets are my stage and terror's my show
phsyco-analize tried diognising me wise

It was a joke brother the brutally died


But it was mine, so let me define
my territory don't cross the line

Don't try to act crazy
cause the bitch dont thank me
you can be read like a punk
it wouldn'ta made me
cause my colors death
thou we all want peace
but our war won't end,
they'll always see


See the wars of the street gangs will always get to me man

But I don't wanna be down with this situation man
but I'm in here, if I had something betta to do I think I'd do it but
right
now I'm just down here boye
I'm trying to get money cause I'm smart
I'm gunna get paid while I'm out here
I'm gunna get that paper, ya know what I'm saying

If I had a chance like you,
maybe I would be in school
but I'm not, I'm out here living day to day surviving
and I'm willing to die for my colors


Yo'll please stop, cause I want ya all to live.

This is Ice-T, Peace...
