Ok now shorty had yellow shorty eyes brown
Shorty so gold and so is my crown
Baby color me red shorty code red
And so is my flag purple in my bag
And shorty hair black and so is that card
That I got in my bag
How could I go Hard from my girl in fact
I could take a ball from the world
Since the president black
I went and bought a black pearls like damn
And she gonna wanna see lil wayne go
She just wanna bonnafie lil wayne boe
Now or later cause me and
Her gonna create art together ohhhh
She wanna do it has we do it all night
I never blew it hurt my lung
I only look nice
See the wall black and I dress all white
Yeaaa

Mama says she love it
When I'm color coordinated so I pull up in a
Maroon coupe with maroon laces
In my Supras I maneuver like
MacGyver when it's time to ride
Say she always feeling blue
When he telling white lies
Rain on her window pain
All she see is grey skies
Told her hit this purple
Maybe this will ease your mind
I'm rocking purple lable
Check out my shirt design
Perfect with her purple kisses
Slack track number eight
From The Dream maybe this is
Something you ain't neva see
Put you in a real world
Take you out that green screen
Sippin on pink panties
In the stretched limousine
They takin off pink panties
When we hit the room please
Don't confuse me for no
Murderer like Norman Bates
But I'm about to kill it
Pull out the yellow tape
I'm guessing I'm a criminal
You caught up in my web like a brown recluse
K dot is a color never seen boo

She love it when I'm flamed up
Valet park the Red Lamborghini
At the Grand Lux grammys with the red tux
She a red bone red manicure
Red hair think I like her
Might wife her in some red airs
Walk her up my red stairs
Headed to the red room
She gone yell code red once
I jump in that womb
Red diamonds on my wrist
Red diamonds on my neck
Give yo' ass a blood bath
If you ever disrespect red lobster
You a small fish walking thru my set
Red beam
I'm aiming from the roof of my projects
She know that I'm gangster
She read that I'm a prospect
Eatin' red beans, shittin' on em
"Where the flys at?"
Red in my pupils and that's
Just from the contact
She wanna blow up I'm a show
Her where that bomb at
So baby ride with the red flow
Her face turned red soon as I said let's go

Yea Ohhh ohhh




Ohhhh yeahh ohhhh Ohhhh Ehhhhhh
Hahaha That's right baby i'm gone

Overall Meaning

In the song "Colors" by Jay Rock featuring Lil Wayne and K-Dot, the opening line "I'm a killer whale, I'ma get us there" serves as a statement of purpose for the artist. The predatory imagery of the killer whale represents the aggressive, almost ruthless drive to succeed and make it big. The following lines referring to "sending 12" and "wish him well" can be interpreted as the artist letting go of any negative feelings toward those who have wronged him, wishing them well but still determined to succeed despite any obstacles or lack of support. The artist then goes on to express a sense of frustration and isolation, feeling as though he has had to do everything on his own without much help or guidance from those around him.


The lines "Gotta keep that steel, yeah, kill or be killed/Shit can get real, yeah, I'm not signing no deal" further highlight the artist's uncompromising attitude and determination to succeed by any means necessary. The chorus repeats the "killer whale" imagery and serves as a reminder that the artist is focused on getting himself and his team to the top, no matter what.


Overall, the song "Colors" is a brash and bold statement from an artist who is determined to succeed despite any obstacles in his way. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has had to fight tooth and nail to get where he is, using predatory and aggressive imagery to showcase the ruthless determination that has driven him to success.
