Colours on the Ground |
Mama soaked in tears and on her knees |
She holds her baby as caution tapes around |
She keeps on screaming, «He was just 19» |
The men in blue said, «I told him to stay down» |
That doesn’t make it right |
Shame on you, shame on you |
And if we asked the ones we lost |
What they did so wrong, all they’d say is |
I had my hands up, my hoody on |
Complying, still I’m dying |
I just had my hands up, my hoody on |
No gun was drawn, still they find a way to make us |
Colours on the ground |
That’s all they wanna see |
To them we’ll always be |
Is just another colour on the ground |
A child 4 years old in the back seat |
Someone tread on daddy’s shirt after 5 pops ring so loud |
Too young to understand what it quite means |
Why is daddy no longer around? |
If she could ask her father what he did |
What was so wrong, he’d say, baby |
I just had my hands up, my dreads were locked |
My skin was black, so they attacked |
Baby, I just had my hands up, my hoody on |
No gun was drawn, still they find a way to make us |
Colours on the ground |
That’s all they wanna see |
To them we’ll always be |
Is just another colour on the ground |
Together we’re strong |
I’m sick of them painting the streets with them brown and reds |
Them brown and reds |
But keep marching on |
I tell them copperly ones, go turn in the badge, turn in the badge |
We’ll always be here |
They try, they try |
But |
But they can’t get rid of us, yeah I stay down for you |
