Colors of You - Talib Kweli, Mike Posner

Been around the world many times

Seen many things

And they in color too

Seen women so beautiful

That I could die with a smile on my face

And not feel like the good lord gypped me

(The space between love and me

Between…)

How you expect to have an ordinary relationship with such an

Extraordinary nigga, yeah there’s flaws in what you figured

Ain’t the liquor that got you considering calling up the sitter

Telling her you need a couple hours and of course you tip her

I like my fantasies, half-stripper, half-glass slipper

Wrappin' one like a riddle with enigma

Character in my flip book coming to life when I’m

Flipping through the pictures, switching up the positions

My karma karma chameleon change colors with the surroundings

I can hear you with my eyes and I’m loving the way you sound

And I’m smothering and I’m grindin', now doubt is counting me out

Loving in public when we coming and up against the cupboard till we…

(Look like turquoise) Right on the couch

(Yellow on the bad day) Knocking it out without a doubt

(Colors of you)

'Eyo the world is my coloring book, look, new discoveries

Every time when I color outside the lines

(Colors of you)

'Eyo the world is my coloring book, look, new discoveries

Every time when I color outside the lines

(Color of you)

My self expression acquire every color in the spectrum

My self reflection make the light change direction

When you see it from this angle the color, the cut the clarity

Starts bringing me down that’s the depravity of gravity

Having me in my blue phase, go off the grid for a

Few days, go on a journey without a suitcase

The security of obscurity

In a world of respect and I’m trading it like it’s currency

Currently you soft as a mallet hitting a xylophone

He so yella I’m wishin' his fella right his wrong

But naw, instead he is synthetic as styrofoam

Recite a poem so monotone that they monochrome

My light’ll poke through the clouds, we’ll take you higher like you

Smoking the loud while I provide the dope kaleidoscope of sound

You can see it with your ears, you can hear it with your eyes

You can feel it right here yea

(Colors of you)

You don’t look like turquoise

You don’t look like gold

You don’t look like purple

That’ll match your hue

'Eyo the world is my coloring book, look, new discoveries

Every time when I color outside the lines

(Colors of you) Ay, ay

'Eyo the world is my coloring book, look, new discoveries

Every time when I color outside the lines, hey

(Colors of you)
