TEV - Colours Are Gold (feat. Rita Carter, Paula Whitelocke, Jah'kota & Yohannes) Lyrics




They won't, can't hold us down
They won't, they can't hold us down yeah

Let's get 'em

I was focussed on flowin', potent flowing through the air
Plotting on jocking, to catch somebody's ear
Writin' the type of vibes, that I wanted to hear
Spilling my highs and lows, my ambitions and fears
Lyrics revealing the man in the mirror
A perfectionist with imperfections
Another youngin' looking for direction
Stepping in the corrections
Introduced me to niggas that had to overcome harsher lessons
Their lives would give mine reflection
So when I became a free man, I was counting my blessings
Still a battle in my mind as I fought depression
Taking it one song at a time, my vision started progressing
Then my flows turned to confessions
Tracks became my life through verbal expression
It's like I became a better artist, once I stopped looking for the attention
Instead I paid more of that to the words I was venting
And my rhyme schemes, understanding if I wanna live my dreams
I have to find me, and determine what really defines me

We claim the red and the white
They say we're black when we're brown
When all the colours are gold
Once you're closing your eyes
You'll see the vision is clear
You see the colours are gold
They call it fatal attraction
It'll cause a reaction
All the colours are gold
But if you know who you are
Then you can reach for the stars
You see the colours are gold

How can anyone be racist when the world is interracial
That's something I just don't understand, it's too spacial
To my indigenous people I'm representing the tribe
Feel the vibe, music is life, it help me survive, I'm still alive
I thank the creator for what I've been through
And dreams do come true, it's really up to you
I'm enjoying the view and I still haven't reached the top
I'm busy making moves, and I'm about to make my album drop
KWO, you already know
That's Knew World Order, it's designed to help you learn and grow
I'm on a spiritual journey in a physical form
When I indigenized my life transformed
And I can hear my thoughts and I can see through sound
I can see through colour and it's so profound
If we can learn to compromise and show love to each other
The world would be a better place, and that's true colour

We claim the red and the white
They say we're black when we're brown
But all the colours are gold
Once you're closing your eyes
You'll see the vision is clear
You see the colours are gold
They call it fatal attraction
It'll cause a reaction
All the colours are gold
But if you know who you are
Then you can reach for the stars
You see the colours are gold

They won't, can't hold us down, colours are gold
They won't, they can't hold us down yeah

They won't, can't hold us down, you see your colours are gold
They won't, they can't hold us down yeah
