Color
John J. Fox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep up
Sitting back with his feet up
Celebrating wit champagne
Cold drinks and a re-up
Of anything i ever wanted
Lusting for change
Came in the game with no intention of staying
And made a stain you can’t wash out
Remember the name
Ave the Fox
More showtime than late night box
More live
Than a show at the Fox
First row is full of haters yeah i brought em all out
Coming attraction
Attracting the game
Know that this splash in this lane
Bring a movement of change
Rattle your frame
Awake to color and impact of my range
Black boy wit a chain but ain’t chained
They fearing no limitations as i lift the ceiling off this thing
Thanks
The passion is active
Your action is passive
My impact is massive
Your passion more fight club than brad Pitt
You crashing
The master is active
This wardrobe you can’t get
It’s styled for a classic, I mastered this
Can’t deny this
Let that color
Be the pilot
Let it glide it
Can’t deny this
Let that color
Be the pilot
Let it glide it
You entering round two
First book of Matthew
Don’t ask, you
Just might get all of the wrath of these bars
Like i threw the whole jail house at you
And that’s you
Begging for chains
Homeless to self
No comfort in the color you stain
Walk around hating colors you aim
All that hate and that ones that hang around in your range
That self-hate is strange fruit
You rotten tooth
No taste
Sad goof
Deserve to be sailed down Shits creek in a canoe
Can’t you
Drown in a whole mound of the sad truth
Integrity more present than big foot in a field shoot
And yet we back here for round two
These rounds chew
Shark week
Tune in for the downfall of this frail troop
Hold this L
I got a whole 100 round clip
To dispel
Catch all hell
Lil boy
With your head down
Life’s got you holding a bad round
And that sound of shame that they really got you down
You look like a real clown
Your face like a permanent frown
Body hunched down
And currently alone crazy
Ain’t no support round but you found
A little voice that was deep down
You tried to keep yourself motivated when beat Down
I see you though
Know you said you holding the last straw
You beat it though
All that weight on your back
Yeah?
But you carry though
Even though
None of this is really your issue
But You pushed that button
But you really ain’t the way with answers is you
Hoping that the answer come into you
Even though the guidance is the reason it ain’t coming to you
And you got that color that’s now waking up inside you
Now you got the fox to guide you down the ave as you try to figure out the real you
Let that color present




Let that color come through
Now let’s see what you do

Lil boy
Insignificant and immature person

Feeling defeated and demoralized


Life’s got you holding a bad round
Life is subjecting you to a streak of misfortune


And that sound of shame that they really got you down
Feeling deeply embarrassed and disheartened by their criticism


You look like a real clown
You appear foolish and ridiculous


Your face like a permanent frown
Your expression constantly reflects unhappiness


Body hunched down
Posture displaying defeat and despair


And currently alone crazy
Presently feeling isolated and mentally disturbed


Ain’t no support round but you found
There is no assistance available, but you discovered


A little voice that was deep down
A small inner strength that was buried within


You tried to keep yourself motivated when beat Down
You attempted to stay motivated during hardships


I see you though
I acknowledge your struggles


Know you said you holding the last straw
Understand that you feel you're at a breaking point


You beat it though
But you overcame it regardless


All that weight on your back
The burdens you carry


Yeah?
Isn't that right?


But you carry though
But you persist in carrying them


Even though
Despite the fact that


None of this is really your issue
None of these burdens are truly your responsibility


But You pushed that button
But you accepted those burdens


But you really ain’t the way with answers is you
However, you don't possess the solutions yourself


Hoping that the answer come into you
Expecting the solution to come from an external source


Even though the guidance is the reason it ain’t coming to you
Despite the fact that relying on guidance prevents the solution from reaching you


And you got that color that’s now waking up inside you
And you possess an identity that is now emerging within you


Now you got the fox to guide you down the ave as you try to figure out the real you
Now you have the artist as a guiding influence as you explore your true self


Let that color present
Allow that uniqueness to be shown


Let that color come through
Allow that distinctiveness to shine


Now let’s see what you do
Now let's observe your actions
