TeaMarrr’s “Colors” features Wale, and both artists are using different colors and shades as metaphors. Creating multiple double entendres, they address issues with what’s happening to Black people, and within the community.
“Pardon my palette, I was made this dark/ I still bleed red though, My hair is coarse/ Miss me with that fake guilt and fake remorse, Ask me how I feel, you just make it worse/ They say that they love the rainbow, I know they hate when it reigns, though/ They want us back in our stables, labeled (Yeah, yeah)/ Black dreams standing in the same light, Killing us in daylight so we never take flight/ Black dreams, smother them ’til flatline, Shoot me for a brake light ’cause we’re not the same kind”
