Shon Kash - In Living Color Lyrics

Life was a gift from out Fathers and Mothers
Promise to hold down our sisters and brothers
When yo oppressed you just feel like you smothered
It's 10x that's harder just living in color
Living in Color the road gets rougher
Living in Color the toll gets tougher
Living in Color not on you it's in you
Just know that marathon always continues
Put they Knee on our necks man we just want to breath
Brought us all here now they telling us to leave
Cut our foot off now they hate how we walk
Took away language now they laugh how we talk
We're tired of the marching tired of the kneeling
We're tired of being tired we're tired of the killings
How many fathers they gon take from our mothers
How many sisters they gon take from our brothers
I look up in the sky and ask god why they hate
Why they shoot us down why they send us up state
And Why the black man got so many enemies
After 25 why we lose all of our energy
Life was a gift from out Fathers and Mothers
Promise to hold down our sisters and brothers
When yo oppressed you just feel like you smothered
It's 10x that's harder just living in color
Living in Color the road gets rougher
Living in Color the toll gets tougher
Living in Color not on you it's in you
Just know that marathon always continues
They wanna start a race war to have a reason to kill
Take our love ones then they send us the bill
We gotta stay dangerous to get up out a jam
Before they throw the book or Cooke us like Sam
Too hard living but we built from the struggle
Covered in cement but we bloomed thru the rubble
A Rose on the rise why they still so surprised
We weather every storm formed in the great skies
They say real eyes realize real lies
That's why I can see thru plots and disguise
Some days it's looks bleak but we gotta have faith
If you Out In the field or in the house you ain't safe
Life was a gift from out Fathers and Mothers
Promise to hold down our sisters and brothers
When yo oppressed you just feel like you smothered
It's 10x that's harder just living in color
Living in Color the road gets rougher
Living in Color the toll gets tougher
Living in Color not on you it's in you
Just know that marathon always continues

Life was a gift from out Fathers and Mothers
Promise to hold down our sisters and brothers
When yo oppressed you just feel like you smothered
It's 10x that's harder just living in color
Living in Color the road gets rougher
Living in Color the toll gets tougher
Living in Color not on you it's in you
Just know that marathon always continues
Put they Knee on our necks man we just want to breath
Brought us all here now they telling us to leave
Cut our foot off now they hate how we walk
Took away language now they laugh how we talk
We're tired of the marching tired of the kneeling
We're tired of being tired we're tired of the killings
How many fathers they gon take from our mothers
How many sisters they gon take from our brothers
I look up in the sky and ask god why they hate
Why they shoot us down why they send us up state
And Why the black man got so many enemies
After 25 why we lose all of our energy
Life was a gift from out Fathers and Mothers
Promise to hold down our sisters and brothers
When yo oppressed you just feel like you smothered
It's 10x that's harder just living in color
Living in Color the road gets rougher
Living in Color the toll gets tougher
Living in Color not on you it's in you
Just know that marathon always continues
They wanna start a race war to have a reason to kill
