I Don't See Colour
(专辑: Smiling With No Teeth - 2021)
What you think you gon' do When the
trigger's on you brother How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you brother What you think you gon' do When the
trigger's on you brother How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you Please don't pick that pocket There's a
face like yours in this locket And they won't hesitate to kick me out this Shopping mall 'cause we're their target And they gon' crawl around this market To follow y'all 'cause y'all look suspect That group too big to beg their pardon And news told me some racist jargon A
black face and black hoodie a
political symbol And the
gavel comes down like the
crash of a
cymbal Not a
thimble, not a
pick, but its sewn into the
brick Jack be nimble, Jack be quick at the
burning of a
stick And the
burning of a
bush told me that I
was great But the
burning of a
cross told me to play it safe 'Cause somehow my actions represent a
whole race It's hard to move different when your face is our face What you think you gon' do When the
trigger's on you brother How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you brother What you think you gon' do When the
trigger's on you brother How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you You see the
little black boys, yeah the
hood ones Only 4
finger grabs with the
good thumbs You see the
way they ran through, they some hoodlums Oh nah, not you man, you're a
good one Good one Wish I
saw the
joke inside the
fulsome Hard truth, don't spare me a
cushion Brown babes still sucking on the
bosom But you ain't feel none When you see the
arab man, it's the
bombs and flares When you see the
asian man, its the
yellow scare When you see the
black man, its riots and terror But when I
talk about slavery, you weren't there, how convenient Quick to point the
judges pole, but now you lenient Your image wasn't up for grabs in this agreement But somehow your actions represent a
whole race Its hard to move different when your face is their face What you think you gon' do When the
trigger's on you brother How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you brother What you think you gon' do When the
trigger's on you brother How you think you gon' move When it's bigger than you When it's bigger than you When it's bigger than you When it's bigger than you When it's bigger than you
