Part 1 - True Colors [Intro] This ain't nothing, n***a. All this gang banging sh** - It ain't nothing, homie. It ain't nothing. I'd give it up homie. I'm in this sh** for a purpose, man. I got a reason, dude, to get up out of this sh**, n***a. All that sh** ain't nothing, homie. Ask yourself; what color is the flag? (Red, white, and blue). Yup, red, white, and blue. Now, what two colors are, did we pick? I'm talking about we as black people. What two colors? Think about it. We picked red and blue. What's left? White. (Damn right, n***a. We k**ing each other, homie.)

[Verse 2] Jordan got drafted to the Bulls, '85 here My Uncle Greg sniffin' c**aine off my high chair Mama in the kitchen cookin', pops on the couch baggin' Cousin's loadin' Louis Vuitton duffles in the Station Wagon Fiends walkin' in and out my house in old Nikes Pops used to tell me: "Son, don't you ever be like me The Bloods want to k** me, the cops'll never catch me And when you gang bangin', life's shorter than Joe Pesci"' Then one night my pops came home off h**n sh** changed, I'm glad my mama didn't marry him Molested my sister that night cause she was scared I was too young to help her and my brothers wasn't there It was late night, 2AM, my mother at work My sister came back up the stairs and it was blood on her shirt Blood on her face, blood on her hands, blood on her legs Turned on the light and everything was red I'm surrounded by [Hook] Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors My colors, colors, colors, colors, colors (yeah boy!)
