Shades and Colors

You can't define
You can't define me
You can't control me
Because I'm surrounded in a world full of love
Look at the time
It's a bit frightening
You still want to hide me
But you're outnumbered when you look from above
My history was tainted in your name
My hands held high, but blood and hate still came, oh
I don't want to live my life in shame
I'm just a victim of your little game

With so many shades
So many colors
We can paint the skies
Taking back the night

Hey, you can't run away
You cannot erase the evidence of us
We're present in your world
We shine in the light
But you only see our shadows just a pace behind
I was taught to always hate my name
Moving up, but labeled not the same
Why equate my race a certain way
Don't forget a garden still remains

With so many shades
So many colors
We can paint the skies
Taking back the night

Ohh
(Shades)
(So many colors)
(We can paint the skies)
Look around, around, around
(Taking back the night)
Look around

No more lies
Only the truth
Can get in the way of me and you
Look at the time
We're only at the start, oh
