Heres another day at the stoplight
Im lookin in my mirror so I can see who can see me
South Central is puttin Ice Cube to the test
With four brothas in the SS
I cant go around and cant back up
So I gotta peep game layin in the cut
Is this a jack or a kidnap?
Since Im never ever slippin I fully strapped
I grab my gat out the glove
Now, do these fools got a problem with me?
Or do they got love?
So when the light turns green, I dont bone out
I wanna see what these black men are all about
Cuz if its my time, Im just short
If not, Im pluggin they Super Sport
First they get behind my ride...
Then they switch lanes to the left side
Im scopin out the one smokin indo
Comin up fast, rollin down his window
He threw up a sign, I put away my nine
Fool, cuz Im color blind
Killa Cali, the state where they kill
Over colors cuz brothas dont know the deal
And theyll cap you, not if they have to
But if they want to, first they might confront you
But every nigga on my block cant stop
And he wont stop and he dont stop
Not to the bang bang boogie, but they like to gangbang
And rookies aint the only ones that drop
Some say the little locs are gettin a little too loced
And when it comes to dust, they kick up the most
Say the wrong word
then whistle down the street to your homies like a bird
Bust a u-turn, come back and get served nigga
For the women, it dont matter how loud they blouse get
But men, the wrong color outfit, could get your mouth split
Its a shame, but it aint no thang to me
Cuz I slang these thangs like a G
Its on, is anybody killin for the summertime
I gotta get another nine, even though Im colorblind
Im fresh outta county on bail
And no sooner do I get out, seems like Im right back in jail
For some gang related activity
Cuz everyday, different fools try to get with me
For no more than a color, or territory
Cant rehabilitate em, thats the sheriffs story
So whats left, the judge goes deaf
When you try to tell your side
And you aint blue eyed
Boy you better duck cuz the book is comin
And just hand your car keys over to your woman
Because it aint no sunshine where you headed
And the shitll drive you crazy if you let it
But now, I got time to think
Because they hit me with everything but the kitchen sink
And I aint even shed a tear
Cuz believe it or not, they got more love for me here
Now picture that, but on a black and white photograph
Cuz brothas, you dont know the half
On the streets I was damn near outta my mind
But ever since Ive been down
Im colorblind
Now heres the game plan, yo, at a quarter to nine
I was told to peel a cap on the other side
Yo, young and dumb, full of come up, a baby loc
I gotta put in work for the hood and that aint no joke
Stable and able but Im not ready and willin
Cuz Im only 13 and I aint never did a killin
Grabbed the A.K. and jumped in the G ride
Started up the bucket and headed for the other side
Yo, spotted the enemies, now Im on a creep tip
Hit the 5 dollar stick and then I put in my clip
So, I jumped out the car and no matter what the cost
I had my mind set on sendin niggaz to Harrison Ross
Caught one from the back and I looked in eyes
Thinkin should I peel his cap, or should I let him survive
Yo, Im trapped in the plan designed by another side
I aint contributin to genocide (why?)
Cuz Im colorblind
Niggaz in the hood aint changed
And Ive finally figure out that were not in the same gang
Cuz, I walk the alleys of Compton with nowhere to turn
Every which way I get burned baby
Lou wears blue, Big Fred wears red
Put em together and we color em dead
Dead, dyin, gettin smoked like part of the fun
They get smoked just to show how many come to the funeral
I understand how all my homeboys feel
Cuz I was shot and to this day, I pack my steel
Cuz I was born in a certain territory
Where you dont talk only the streets tell stories
With blue and red bandanas on the street
And if you slippin, youll be six feet deep
Cuz me and T-bone, we pay it no mind
And for the rest of the mob, we stay color blind. . .
