Dem green with envy when me roll di purple skunk
Inna di black Beamer, white leather, gold inna di trunk
Little punk, when you see me and the crew a roll through
Man will leff' you upon the ground and leave your girl feeling blue
From dem breach, yeah, grave reach ya, hot like yellow fever
Tell your friends, "Hasta la vista," pebbles big like eggs at Easter
Shirt red with bloodstain when me fall di slug rain

Badder than the Santa List, yeah, steppin' through your town
Inna mi Clarks, dark brown, some boy a part clown
Vybz Kartel from Portmore, Sean Kingston
When we step, boy get down, like Rays from that spectrum

I'm from a world of different colors, different faces
Different slang, different races, different gangs, different places
Air Ones, different laces
Different culture, different living, different thugs, different ages
The sky's blue, the money's green, the w- is purple
The ice is white you try me I'ma have to hurt you
Kingston boy I rep like no other
Black, yellow and green, I bleed the Jamaican colors
The grill is cold, the wheels is gold, the chrome is silver
Nickel-plated, if it's blazing than the chrome will- ya
Certain dudes get one in the h-
Certain places you wear certain colors you dead
Fi a gang bang, you diss me you's a dead man
'Cause gunshot a beat like drum pan where me come from
And it's the same old story
We don't give a damn about your guts and glory
Miami have colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
Jamaica have colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
Mi jewels have colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
My people die over colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
Kardinal (ayo)
Rudebwoy, let me show you wah gwan

But I ain't on that rah-rah, man a boss

In the wrong part of town, in the wrong time of day
I got love inna mi heart but my- don't play

Look at my circle success is evident
Rappers run and hide when you hear me drop
But it ain't rainin' that's me spitting on the top over
Colors, colors, colors, colors, colors (yeah)
Jamaica have colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
Mi jewels have colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
My people die over colors, colors, colors, colors, colors
