Colors of You
feat. Mike Posner
[Intro]
Been around the world many times
Seen many things
And they in colour too
Seen women so beautiful
I could die with a smile on my face
And not feel like the good lord jipped me
[Verse 1]
How you expect to have an ordinary relationship
With such an extraordinary nigga, yea this flaws is what you figured
Ain't the liquor that got you considering calling up the sitter
Telling her that you need a couple hours and of course you tip her
I like my fantasies, [?]half glass slipper [?]with enigma
Character in my flipper
Coming to life when I'm flipping through the pictures
Switching up the positions, my karma karma chameleon
Change colours with the surroundings
I can hear you with my eyes and I'm loving the way you sound
And I'm smothering in the [?]counting me out
Loving in public when we coming in
Up against the cupboard and we look like
Right on the couch
(Yellow on a bad day)
Knocking it out without a doubt
[Hook]x2
(Colours of you)
'Eyo the world is my colouring book
Look, new discoveries every time when I colour outside the lines
[Verse 2]
(Colour of you)
My self expression acquire every colour in the spectrum
My self reflection make the light change direction
When you see it from this angle the colour that cut the clarity
Starts bringing me down that's the depravity of gravity
Having me in my [?]faith, go off the thread for a few days
Go on a journey without a suitcase
The security of obscurity
In a world of respect and I'm trading it like a currency
Currently it's off there's a mallet hit and the xylophone
He so yella I'm wishin' his fella right his wrong
[?]in steady it's synthetic it's styrofoam
Recite a poem, so monotone that they monochrome
Align the pope with the clouds
Take 'em higher like you smoking the loud
While I'm providing the kaleidoscope of sound
You can see it with your ears you can hear it with your eyes
You can feel it right here yea
[Bridge]
(Colours of you)
You don't look like turquoise
You don't look like gold
You don't look like purple
That'll match your hue
[Hook]x2
