[06:32.0]I am a colored man
[06:32.0]From the motherlands
[06:32.0]That painted both of my hands
[06:32.0]With the ink of the Incas
[06:32.0]The kind of people that made
[06:32.0]Love to the ocean when they
[06:32.0]Were trying to sink us
[06:32.0]When they told us that Jesus
[06:32.0]Could walk on water when they
[06:32.0]Failed to defeat us
[06:32.0]The fetus of our kind
[06:32.0]Never hit rewind
[06:32.0]And wind up
[06:32.0]Giving life to freedom
[06:32.0]Life to innovators
[06:32.0]Life to heroes
[06:32.0]Life to kingdoms
[06:32.0]Life to soldiers
[06:32.0]Who sacrifice their vices
[06:32.0]To become righteous leaders
[06:32.0]We are warriors of the heart
[06:32.0]And swing swords of compassion
[06:32.0]In the face of your reaction
[06:32.0]To my black hoodie
[06:32.0]Stop being afraid of my black hoodie
[06:32.0]Stop being afraid of my shadow
[06:32.0]Shadows were meant
[06:32.0]To have your back
[06:32.0]To secure the love
[06:32.0]You carry forward
[06:32.0]I am the ink on your empty canvas
[06:32.0]A picture on your wall hanging
[06:32.0]With memoirs of a bright future
[06:32.0]Shining from a black sun
[06:32.0]Did you forget that we too
[06:32.0]Know how to kiss babies on their
[06:32.0]Foreheads
[06:32.0]Now go ahead
[06:32.0]And swim in the holy water
[06:32.0]We used to baptize your principles
[06:32.0]It's not that difficult to remember us
[06:32.0]They gave us February
[06:32.0]But we celebrate all the way
[06:32.0]To December
[06:32.0]I don't want you to just remember
[06:32.0]I want you to become a soldier
[06:32.0]Load up between your shoulders
[06:32.0]With the gift of critical thinking
[06:32.0]I'm singing a song about legacy
[06:32.0]Against the plague of ignorance
[06:32.0]As the enemy
[06:32.0]Become a friend of me
[06:32.0]And I will show you colors
[06:32.0]That love has never seen before
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]Carrying language as my weapon
[06:32.0]Leaving stains of scripture
[06:32.0]Throughout history
[06:32.0]To remind you
[06:32.0]That you need this color
[06:32.0]To make a masterpiece
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
[06:32.0]I am a soldier
