Ashley Henry - COLORS Lyrics

Lyrics COLORS - Ashley Henry



We bring the color to the mural
We bring that chorus to the song, ayy
We flavour the harmonies
What more can you ask of we?
Who be the choir behind the anthem?
You know our standards
Black, bold and handsome
Black, gold and then-some
Up in the air, still nail the landing, ayy
Been here since back when
Wind rush was the lift-off
We made green in this rough, ayy
And the fascists they teed off
Made use of this gift of music
Turned the page, was centre stage
They say, "Who's this?"
And the specials brought the scar
The masters lose it, ayy
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus, check it
Back when it was '68
London was as grey as grey
Teddy boy losin' folk
Murders in the broadest day
That racist nonsense
But look how we responded
We brought the carnival to Notting Hill
We brought the carnival to Notting Hill
And what's topped it since though?
What's topped it since, ayy?
Nuttin' still
Kwesi was a top-notch poet
I bet you all know it
Fashanu on the pitch, Lennie on the tele
Dianne Abbott, I laughed at all them characters
You know they jellie, you know it
Yeah you know it, yeah
We're causin' scenes like Steve McQueen
Further than your wildest dreams
We make the hustle look easy
We make the hustle look easy
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus, ayy
From Afro-beat to Afrobeats
Dub to Dubstep
English to curse our accents
Now look how much they beef our style
Look how much they love our garms
Look how they caught off our slang
Lovin' our authenticity
Although we diaspora
Respect what came before ya
Those open toes that paved the road
The Martins underneath the Rite
But we've arrived you see
Our shine ain't passed us nah
We bring that color to the mural
We bring that chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
We bring the color to the mural
We bring the chorus to the song
