Red, Black, & Blues

Red, black, and blue
Red, black, and blues
Red, black, and blues

America, America
God shed your grace please
Too many dreamers in this land
Been knocked down to their knees
Too many corners in the hoods
Hold more than traffic signs
In many hoods in our land
Yes gangs still traffic signs
Crews of boys of in blue
Leave rivals in pools of red
Blue sees black
Blue sees red
Black see blue
Black man dead
Michael Brown
Grayrick Fred
Too soon both dead
No reason for suspicion
Just black and capable on a mission
Traffic cops out here trafficking
While black men steady panicking
White beat cops, beat black
Faces blue, then beat cases
Rewrite the truth
Verdicts left on read
Justice
Naw truth ain't always
What they say it is
Just ice
Cold hard facts
Just institutionalized
Cycle of poverty
Dreams stuck in traffic
No opportunity just stick to trapping
Bouncing rubber, sing a song
Bebop dat jazz rapping
Under white moonlight
See the blackest hue blue
As the color all bloods flows
Even crips bleed
Red, black, and blue melting pot
Choice is yours, can't you see
We're all we got
Dam
Must be two sides
Blocked
River water
One bitter pill to swallow
Served on a steel platter
Stop spilling bloods
Cause lives, still matter

Red, black, and blue
Red, black, and blues
Red, black, and blues
