Letra

[Intro]
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Got a hundred grand on my spades hand
Got a partner, I got the big joker
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Chill, Nayrok, stick to the plan
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
[Verse 1]
Ah, if we can't agree on the god we pick
Then, my God, let's at least agree on this snare and kick
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Oh, if you can't love the one you with
Ah, then you ain't her god
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Ah, John Lennon said
They treat women like the **** of the world, yes, he did
So watch how you treat your girl
Ah, 'cause thе future looking odd these days
That's on Tyler, Frank, and Earl
[Verse 2]
Oh, step in creation
Show us a new way
Ways of old
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Ah, see
After everything, we all the same, yeah
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
All under the same constitution, same illusion
Same confusion, same institution
Same simulation, I don't really know
Came to the same conclusion, yeah
[Verse 3]
See, we used to be bound by blood
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Now we bound by love, yeah
[Verse 4]
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
'Cause they didn't believe that we could
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Break the chains and we
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Couldn't be programmed and we
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
All the same and we
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Know the truth that you
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Tryin' to separate us
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
We are not no robots
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Select the squares with the crosswalks
[Verse 5]
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
They didn't believe that we was
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Mighty, mighty, they didn't
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Know we'd rise up from the
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Fire like a phoenix
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
We was in the rubble, but we
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Found our own solution
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
That's an awful lot of cough syrup
Red, yellow, black, red
That's on Mary Catherine Houston
[Verse 6]
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
We can't be seperated
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
You can't trick us, Devil
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Go back to the ground
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
[Verse 7]
You ain't at the top of the list
We don't give a damn 'bout taxes
But we was here way before you
We built our own structure
You wanna tear us down
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Feed us medicine and bullshit
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
We walkin 'round like zombie
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
But we done changed the game
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Goddammit, we done changed the rules, ha
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Inside our DNA structure
[Verse 8]
I'm through picking your cotton
I'm through wiping your face
I'm through making excuses
I'm 'bout to take my place
You can try to race my brilliance
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
You could try to erase my face
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
But I done taught my babies
Red, yellow, black, red
They rise up in my place
[Verse 9]
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
You can't stop this train
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Ooh, my train is on schedule, huh
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Big Chief of the Choctaw
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
My ancestors thank you
[Verse 10]
And I put that on Odessa
And I put that on Rebecca
And I put that on Viola
Sherwood, Marilyn, Sharon, Dorothy
And I put that on Toosie
Put that on Ju-Ju O
AB, Mildred, Sonny, Donnie, Gwendolyn, Mimi, Thelma Lo'
[Bridge]
I'm 'bout to wake the dead
Was wrote down long ago
I'm the one that they prayed for
They don't believe in you no more
They don't believe in you no more
They don't believe in you no more
They don't believe in you no—
They don't believe in you no more
[Outro]
See, we used to be bound by blood
Now we're bound by love, yeah
We used to be bound by chains
Now we're bound by brains
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Used to be bound by by pain
But now we heal through rain
Surely, ooh, surely the drum
Surely
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Surely the drum will
Surely the drum will outlast the gun
