everywhere i go colors

Rick James

Cops on the corner looking for a thrill
Somebody tell them take a little chill pill

Your boy got busted now he s doing time
They caught that sucker in the middle of a crime

Trouble on the corner, jungle in the street
Everyone I know is trying to make the ends meet

I feel like smoking
I feel I m going to crack
I feel like fighting and breaking somebody s back

(Chorus)
Everybody that I know tastes life s bitter pill
Everywhere I go someone wants a thrill

Boys got rap but girls they got busts
Put them both together and you can feel the lust

The weak got? ... the strong they will survive
That s the law that keeps us all alive

Danger in the day and drama in the night
Who s going to say who s wrong and who s right

Branded a beast when I was just a child
Now I m just chilling before I go wild

(Chorus)
Everybody that I know tastes life s bitter pill
Everywhere I go someone wants a thrill
Everybody that I know feels the same as me
Everywhere I go we wear our colors proudly

Give it up
Turn me loose
I can t get out
If I wanted to yeah

I ve been held back
I ve been criticized
All because I want to stay alive yeah

I ve got got got got it bad baby
