《Color Lines(feat. Catch Wreck)》歌词

[00:00:00] Color Lines - Watsky/Catch Wreck

[00:00:24] Your first rap show posted in the back row

[00:00:26] Of a sea of white kids bent on supermanning that hoe

[00:00:29] Pretty soon you're buying fitted hats and high tops

[00:00:32] Pretending that you're black enough and rapping with the lights off

[00:00:35] It's like a cyclops with one closed eye

[00:00:37] You can tell me that you're winking but the grin won't lie

[00:00:40] And no mouth supplies what your skin tone hides

[00:00:42] About a thousand miles south as the jim crow flies

[00:00:46] And then we're playing he said she said

[00:00:48] I see red when I peep a pink cheeked boston meathead

[00:00:51] I wanna go Bruce Lee

[00:00:53] When I see him on the T taking up two seats

[00:00:56] And say "excuse me but would you move if hell froze "

[00:00:59] You know the subway is the underground railroad

[00:01:02] Lynch trees have the same white limbs

[00:01:04] Check out my arms I look just like him

[00:01:07] These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side

[00:01:13] These color lines these color lines been here since jump

[00:01:18] I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind

[00:01:23] I write these color lines these color line

[00:01:28] Let's you and I get one thing straight

[00:01:31] The game never been equal ain't no food on my plate

[00:01:33] I gave birth to this and you just took it and co opted it and profited

[00:01:37] And packaged it and wouldn't give me half of it

[00:01:39] Peep how I master this and break down how you took it all

[00:01:42] Raped the culture and you standing there looking all

[00:01:45] Innocent take a mile when I give and inch

[00:01:48] And how you getting rich is it a coincidence

[00:01:50] Or is it ignorance You don't know your own privilege

[00:01:53] You own riches and don't know what homeless is

[00:01:55] You got a lot to learn before you even think about

[00:01:58] Hip hop black culture and which fitted you pickin out

[00:02:01] Nigger in the street I don't think so bro

[00:02:03] My people ain't supportin your black history show

[00:02:06] So stop what you doing we won't take it anymore

[00:02:09] Before you come in my house wipe ya feet at the door

[00:02:12] These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side

[00:02:17] These color lines these color lines been here since jump

[00:02:23] I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind

[00:02:27] I write these color lines these color lines

[00:02:33] I see the color lines

[00:02:35] It's tough that Every other time a bother rhymes

[00:02:37] White mothers think of gutter crimes

[00:02:39] We keep our standard higher

[00:02:40] We don't kick lower rhymes

[00:02:41] Other times it undermines the fact the mine are over minds

[00:02:44] All you gotta do is get past the guilt

[00:02:46] We ain't living in a house that master built

[00:02:49] If you understand that tell your people what you know

[00:02:52] Because one of em got enough money to pay back what you owe

[00:02:54] Yes My great grands had land had slaves

[00:02:57] I guess I pressed this record off the bank he made

[00:03:00] But I want independance past the declaration

[00:03:03] But one down a** white boy can't pay for reparations

[00:03:05] I'm running out of patience while you do the work of Satan

[00:03:08] Like an impulse Edu Leedz Black history's an insult

[00:03:10] Number one I'm not trying to tell your story

[00:03:14] I just want to sit on my porch drink a forty and spit

[00:03:16] Number two cause You can smell bullshit

[00:03:19] I just love hip hop

[00:03:20] Pinky swear that's it

[00:03:21] If you love hip hop respect it

[00:03:23] That includes the people who created it and paved the way for this

[00:03:26] So that you're making it

[00:03:27] You're talking on who's making it I'll play devil's advocate

[00:03:30] A lot of black music has white dollars backing it

[00:03:32] (Kweli's got it on lock)

[00:03:34] Rupert Murdoch funded Rawkus

[00:03:35] You looking for the keys then you better check the pockets

[00:03:37] I'll be checking pockets all right

[00:03:39] As soon as it gets dark and all night

[00:03:41] I'ma get my money we can all fight

[00:03:44] You taking out the high and the mighty

[00:03:45] And their kids

[00:03:46] You say kill whitey

[00:03:47] I say call i live

[00:03:48] You're not black militant

[00:03:50] Killing us diligent

[00:03:51] Grab my fam and grandma and light us up like a filament

[00:03:54] I thought we were cool now I'm this close to giving in

[00:03:57] Just put a bullet in for each missed dose of Ritalin

[00:04:00] These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side

[00:04:05] These color lines these color lines been here since jump

[00:04:11] I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind

[00:04:15] I write these color lines these color lines

[00:04:21] These color lines will make you break you make you choose a side

[00:04:27] These color lines these color lines been here since jump

[00:04:32] I write these color lines cause if I don't I'll lose my mind

[00:04:37] I write these color lines these color lines
