Evolution of Color
You would kill a brother & disrespect your mother
But get mad when the lights uncover
The dreadful fate of a criminal w no shine
So imma just stop & read between the lines
& peep the greatness we fail to see
In our adolescence & pursue to be the greatest we can be
So I'll let you have the guns while I prevail
Living this life refusing to fail
Tryna' fight the stereotypes of the young black male
Cuz they wont stop till they see me not breathing & pale
So i'll just ride till I reach the sky
& progress myself as the days go by
