When talkin' 'bout this color called ebony
This ebony
Not sellin' drugs, I'm above a thug
Not, idiot crossover songs
And helps my folks about the words they throw
Killin' off his own, tryin' to make a buck, naw
Take time to make that move
This ebony
When talkin' bout this color called ebony
Be sure to be straight and you'll improve
You'll see the truth and won't have to ask why
That ain't the way it's done today
By coming through with the righteous groove
This one is for the chosen few
This ebony
Live long, be strong, and you'll see
Now break
Stand strong and proud, don't end up dead
By talkin' bout the things that I see
That better is a life lived long and carefree
I just talk about the things that I see
That appeal to all and make you sing along, no
'Cause the words are truth and truth's what I teach
By talkin' bout the things that I see
I don't make the rhymes that say
When talkin' bout this color called ebony
Who want to build and uplift my people too, so
Just stay on a righteous path
Listen to the words I speak
Gotta come together and gotta educate
What lacks in the competition is
I'm here to let y'all know
Strong words, of pride and unity
Gotta, uplift, lift up your head
I'm glad that y'all in tune to me
Tells right from wrong, makes people move
Now I want y'all to listen, see what you're missin'
How ignorant brothers act nowadays
Smooth
