Color Lines - Watsky/Catch Wreck[00:00:00]
Your first rap show posted in the back row[00:00:24]
Of a sea of white kids bent on supermanning that hoe[00:00:26]
Pretty soon you're buying fitted hats and high tops[00:00:29]
Pretending that you're black enough and rapping with the lights off[00:00:32]
It's like a cyclops with one closed eye[00:00:35]
You can tell me that you're winking but the grin won't lie[00:00:37]
And no mouth supplies what your skin tone hides[00:00:40]
About a thousand miles south as the jim crow flies[00:00:42]
And then we're playing he said she said[00:00:46]
I see red when I peep a pink cheeked boston meathead[00:00:48]
I wanna go Bruce Lee[00:00:51]
When I see him on the T taking up two seats[00:00:53]
And say "excuse me but would you move if hell froze "[00:00:56]
You know the subway is the underground railroad[00:00:59]
Lynch trees have the same white limbs[00:01:02]
Check out my arms I look just like him[00:01:04]
These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side[00:01:07]
These color lines these color lines been here since jump[00:01:13]
I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind[00:01:18]
I write these color lines these color line[00:01:23]
Let's you and I get one thing straight[00:01:28]
The game never been equal ain't no food on my plate[00:01:31]
I gave birth to this and you just took it and co opted it and profited[00:01:33]
And packaged it and wouldn't give me half of it[00:01:37]
Peep how I master this and break down how you took it all[00:01:39]
Raped the culture and you standing there looking all[00:01:42]
Innocent take a mile when I give and inch[00:01:45]
And how you getting rich is it a coincidence [00:01:48]
Or is it ignorance You don't know your own privilege[00:01:50]
You own riches and don't know what homeless is[00:01:53]
You got a lot to learn before you even think about[00:01:55]
Hip hop black culture and which fitted you pickin out[00:01:58]
Nigger in the street I don't think so bro[00:02:01]
My people ain't supportin your black history show[00:02:03]
So stop what you doing we won't take it anymore[00:02:06]
Before you come in my house wipe ya feet at the door[00:02:09]
These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side[00:02:12]
These color lines these color lines been here since jump[00:02:17]
I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind[00:02:23]
I write these color lines these color lines[00:02:27]
I see the color lines[00:02:33]
It's tough that Every other time a bother rhymes[00:02:35]
White mothers think of gutter crimes[00:02:37]
We keep our standard higher[00:02:39]
We don't kick lower rhymes[00:02:40]
Other times it undermines the fact the mine are over minds[00:02:41]
All you gotta do is get past the guilt[00:02:44]
We ain't living in a house that master built[00:02:46]
If you understand that tell your people what you know[00:02:49]
Because one of em got enough money to pay back what you owe[00:02:52]
Yes My great grands had land had slaves[00:02:54]
I guess I pressed this record off the bank he made[00:02:57]
But I want independance past the declaration[00:03:00]
But one down a** white boy can't pay for reparations[00:03:03]
I'm running out of patience while you do the work of Satan[00:03:05]
Like an impulse Edu Leedz Black history's an insult[00:03:08]
Number one I'm not trying to tell your story[00:03:10]
I just want to sit on my porch drink a forty and spit[00:03:14]
Number two cause You can smell bullshit[00:03:16]
I just love hip hop[00:03:19]
Pinky swear that's it[00:03:20]
If you love hip hop respect it[00:03:21]
That includes the people who created it and paved the way for this[00:03:23]
So that you're making it[00:03:26]
You're talking on who's making it I'll play devil's advocate[00:03:27]
A lot of black music has white dollars backing it[00:03:30]
(Kweli's got it on lock)[00:03:32]
Rupert Murdoch funded Rawkus[00:03:34]
You looking for the keys then you better check the pockets[00:03:35]
I'll be checking pockets all right[00:03:37]
As soon as it gets dark and all night[00:03:39]
I'ma get my money we can all fight[00:03:41]
You taking out the high and the mighty[00:03:44]
And their kids[00:03:45]
You say kill whitey[00:03:46]
I say call i live [00:03:47]
You're not black militant[00:03:48]
Killing us diligent[00:03:50]
Grab my fam and grandma and light us up like a filament[00:03:51]
I thought we were cool now I'm this close to giving in[00:03:54]
Just put a bullet in for each missed dose of Ritalin[00:03:57]
These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side[00:04:00]
These color lines these color lines been here since jump[00:04:05]
I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind[00:04:11]
I write these color lines these color lines[00:04:15]
These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side[00:04:21]
These color lines these color lines been here since jump[00:04:27]
I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind[00:04:32]
I write these color lines these color lines[00:04:37]
