Colour Purple - Wretch 32, Kojey Radical

Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live

Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live

Subtleties, summer breeze

Red wine, dungarees

Clear skies follow me

Everything is what it is

Hello, oh I feel colourful

Hello, oh I feel colourful

Hello, oh I feel colourful

Hello, oh I feel colourful

I feel golden today

That Monday blues brother

Boy was I blue brother, who

Was I fooling?

excuses, excuses

Changing everyday

Ruby, Tuesday

I was 14 when I first knew I was black

Not by pigmentation but hatred and fear attacks

Never learned to love what your page 3 for that

Loudest one talking was empty in fact Ergh

I remember that day like it was yester

Enough to leave a grown man pale like uncle Fester

I ain’t had apology yet to cover bruises

Tried to complain but the system said it was useless

Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live

Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live

Subtleties, summer breeze

Red wine, dungarees

Clear skies follow me

Everything is what it is

Hello, oh I feel colourful

Hello, oh I feel colourful

Hello, oh I feel colourful

Hello, oh I feel colourful

All white suit when I die, I’ll put the colour

My pen always kept me in line

When I was colouring my roots, blossoming to the sky

They want a summer fling

The colour purple in my sight, I fell in love with it

My blood bleed red like a redneck

But my teeth?

Them are whiter than them face

And my skins all dark like I’m Kinte (Kunte Kinte)

That means I had to sell green for that rent there

This is my palette, this is my talent

These watercolours got me feeling like I’m magic

This is my palette, this is my talent

These watercolours got me feeling like I’m magic
