Colors Of You (Explicit) - 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 ni**a

Yea 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 is counting me out

Loving in public when we coming and

Up against the cupboard til 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 colour 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 a 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 d**e 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)

'Eyo the world is my coloring book

Look new discoveries every time

When I color outside the lines

(Colors of you)
