Yellow tape, crowded
Missed calls, I hid
Dream big, I did

They just dismiss
I don't fit in
With this colored skin
Pass me white
Carbol-fuchsin
[Pre-Chorus]
Yellow tape, crowded
Missed calls, I hid
Dream big, I did
502, stand up
[Chours]

Without no fear
Of gettin' shot
Leave a blood smear
'Cause the end is near
[Verse 2]
Not long ago
Separation
Segregation
Corrupted nations
Still today

Trayvon Martin
This world is getting crazy
Rich whites be lazy
Poor blacks be sleazy
The end is near
[Pre-Chorus]
Yellow tape, crowded
Missed calls, I hid
Dream big, I did
502, stand up
[Chours]
Black me is dead
White me is here
I can live my life
Without no fear
Of gettin' shot
Leave a blood smear
