Which way is up On a sphere Moving fast I can feel That's why I'm ill White or black Why is that It sets you back Like the price Of YSL Ls in the air Are you really sure of all your facts? The ancient artifacts The truth in white and black What if this whole world is just a trap A treasure on a map You chased can't get back It's so Kuro to shiro So The Up and down Could f** around And get you strong I got a pound Let's work it out Cloud in the air Day is night Night is day They don't know what The f** they talkin' bout Or what they're tryna say They saying you should be afraid But are you really sure of all your facts? The ancient artifacts The truth in white & black What if this whole world is just a crash Course in gettin' back To where the colors match? It's so Kuro to shiro So Kuro to shiro [Verse 3: Common] Here's the picture, developed in a dark room They say the world is soon to be a monsoon In my mom's room, the pictures are black and white Family members, I might see in the after life They say rob, you tryna live that pastor's life Spreadin' the good word, makin' sure the cash is right Nah, my life is more Ca**ius like, sacrifice on parliament flash lights Neon lights, it's more than a black thing and beyond white I say the things that the eons might If they could, like even if you havin' a day then that's good I stand for the misunderstood and those that been through the mud The dirt, the swept under the rug The n***a that's been in love and ain't afraid to admit it The one who ain't with the mother but they committed to the children They came from the bricks but are still building They ain't have a meal, now I'm getting millions Now, the willing, the able, the still stealing cable Lookin' at life and could see us interracial ‘Cause everything we see ain't just black and white More like God in the beginning, "there was light"
