It's all about color
If it's not green
You won't be seen
Nor would you be part of the scene
It's all about color
When black is the new devil,
Red does no longer stand for evil
Darker, lighter, softer or rough
It becomes the stigma that strikes down
Generations from their pride,
And strips dignity away from heart
It's all about color.
Believe it or not, it’s all about color!
When a simple tone sets all the rules,
Tell me that it is not about color.
When the color you grew in
Stands for whom you are,
Yet again, to myself I think
Must be color!
If I am night-like, I scare
If I am day-like, I strip the night of its worth
If I pale at sunrise and change with spring,
I fall into One or Two, plus numbers
But if I carry the star, my favorite color is green.
So now, tell me that it is not about color!
