Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
(Got a hundred grand on my space here)
(Got a partner, I got a big joker)
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
(Chill, name rocks, stick to the plan)
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown

Ahh, if we can't agree on a God we pick
Then, my God
Let's at least agree on this snare and kick
Ooh, hey
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)

Oh, if you can't love the one you with
Ahh, then you ain't her guy, mmm
(Red, yellow, black, white, up brown)
Ahh, John Lennon said
They treat women like the niggas of the world, yes, he did
So watch how you treat your girl
Ahh, 'cause the future looking odd these days That's on Tyler, Frank, and Earl

Oh, step in creation
Show us a new age, ways ago
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
I don't see
After everything we all the same
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
All under the same constitution
Same illusion, same confusion
Same institution, same simulation
(Came to the same conclusion, yeah)
I don't really know
See, we used to be bound by blood
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
But now we bound by love, yeah

Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black

'Cause he didn't believe that we could break the chains
That we could be programmed and we all the same
And we know the truth that you tried to separate us
We are not no robots (we are not robots)
Select the squares with the crosswalks
They didn't believe that we was mighty, mighty
They didn't know we'd rise up from the fire like a phoenix
We was in the rubble but we found our own solution
There's an awful lot of cough syrup
That so many got real used to it
We can't be separated
You can't trick us, Devil
Go back to the ground
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown

You ain't at the top of your [?]
We don't give a damn 'bout taxes
We was here way before you
We built our own structure
You wanna tear us down
Feed us medicine and bullshit
We walkin' 'round like zombie
But we done changed the game
Goddammit, we done changed the rules, ah

'Cause I did no structure
(You can't stop me, baby)

(You can't stop me, baby)

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 could try to erase my brilliance
You could try to erase my face
But I done told my babies
They rise up in my place

You can't stop this train
Ooh, my train is on schedule, huh
Big G for the chapter
My ancestors, thank you (yeah)
And I put that on Odessa
And I put that on Rebecca
And I put that on Viola
Sherwood, Marylyn, Sharon, and Dorothy
And I put that shit on Tuesday
Put that on Ju-Ju, oh
Abi, Mildred, Sunny, Dunny, Gwendolyn, and Mimi, Velma, no
Ah, rather wake the dead
'Cause we're all down a long ago
I'm the one that they pray for
They don't believe that you know, no
They don't believe that you know, no
They don't believe in you, no, no
They don't believe in you, no, no
They don't believe in you, no more

See, we used to be bound by blood
Now we bound by love, yeah
We used to be bound by chains
Now we bound By brains
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
Used to be bound by pain, ooh
And now we heal through rain
Truly, wooh
Truly, the drums
Surely
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
Surely, the drums will
Surely, the drums will outlast the bomb
