Colors

Ice-T · Greatest Hits: The Evidence

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 cause a blood - it just donÂ’t matter
Sucker die for your life with my shotgun scatters
We gangs of c.a. will never die....just multiply

Colors!

You donÂ’t know me, fool - you disown me
I donÂ’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 boy --- got shot
My home got jacked, my motherÂ’s on crack
My sister canÂ’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

Colors!

My pants are saggin braided hair
Suckers stare but I donÂ’t care
My game ainÂ’t knowledge - my gameÂ’s fear
IÂ’ve no remorse so squares beware
But my true mission is just revenge
You ainÂ’t in my sect, you ainÂ’t my friend
Wear the wrong color - your life could end
Homocides my favorite venge (beach? )

Colors!

IÂ’ll just walk like a giant - police defiant
YouÂ’ll say to stop - but IÂ’ll say that I canÂ’t
My gangs my family - itÂ’s all that I have
IÂ’m a star - on the walls is my autograph

You donÂ’t like it - so you know where you can go
Cause the streets are my stage - and terrorÂ’s my show
Psyco-analize - tried diagnising me wise
It wasnÂ’t your brother that brutally died
But it was mine - so let me define
My territory donÂ’t cross the line
DonÂ’t try to act crazy - cause the shit donÂ’t thank me
You can be read like a punk - it wouldnÂ’ta made (amaze? ) me
Cause my colors death - thou we all want peace
But our war wonÂ’t end - till all will cease

Colors!
