Ice T - Colors lyrics

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 don't matta

Sucker die for your life whith my shotgun scatters

we gangs of L.A. will never die....just multiply

You see they hit us then we hit them

then we hit them and they hit us, man

It's like a war, ya know what I'm sayin

people dont even understand

They don't even know what they dealing with

you wanna get ridda the gangs its gonna take alot of work

but people don't understand the size of this

this is no joke man this is real

you don't know me, fool

you disown me, cool

I don'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 young brother got shot

my home got jacked

my mother's on crack

my sister can'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

Yo my brother was a gang banger

and all my homeboys bang

I don't know why I do it man, I just do it

I never had much of nuffin man

Look at you man, you've got everything going for yourself

and I ain't got nuffin man, I've got nuffin

I'm living in the ghetto man

just look at me man, look at me

My pants are saggin braided hair

suckers stare but I don't care

my game ain't knowelgde my game's fear

I've no remorse so squares beware

But my true mission is just revenge

you ain't in my sect, you ain't my friend

wear the wrong color your life could end

homocides my favorite venge

Listen to me man

no matter whatcha do don't ever join a gang

you don't wanna be in it man,

You're just gonna end up in a mix of dead freinds and time in jail I

know, if

I had a chance like you,

I would never be in a gang man

but I didn't have a chance

You know I wish i did

I'll just walk like a giant police defiant

you'll say to stop but I'll say that I cant

my gangs my family its all that I have

I'm a star, on the walls is my autograph

You don't like it, so you know where you can go

cause the streets are my stage and terror's my show

phsyco-analize tried diognising me wise

It was a joke brother the brutally died

But it was mine, so let me define

my territory don't cross the line

Don't try to act crazy

cause the bitch dont thank me

you can be read like a punk

it wouldn'ta made me

cause my colors death

thou we all want peace

but our war won't end,

they'll always see

See the wars of the street gangs will always get to me man

But I don't wanna be down with this situation man

but I'm in here, if I had something betta to do I think I'd do it but

right

now I'm just down here boye

I'm trying to get money cause I'm smart

I'm gunna get paid while I'm out here

I'm gunna get that paper, ya know what I'm saying

If I had a chance like you,

maybe I would be in school

but I'm not, I'm out here living day to day surviving

and I'm willing to die for my colors

Yo'll please stop, cause I want ya all to live.

This is Ice-T, Peace
