Here`s another day at the stoplight
I`m lookin` in my mirror so I can see who can see me
South Central is puttin` Ice Cube to the test
With four brothas in the SS

Now I can`t go around and can`t back up
So I gotta peep game layin` in the cut
Is this a jack or a kidnap?
Since I`m never ever slippin`, I`m fully strapped

I grab my gat out the glove
Do these fools got a problem with me or do they got love?
And when the light turns green, I don`t bone out
I wanna see what these black men are all about

`Cuz if it`s my time, I`m just short
If not, I`m pluggin` they Super Sport
First they get behind my ride
Then they switch lanes to the left side

I`m scopin` out the one smokin` indo
Comin` up fast, rollin` down his window
He threw up a sign, I put away my nine
Fool, `cuz I`m color blind

Killa Cali, the state where they kill
Over colors, `cuz brothas don`t know the deal
And they`ll cap you, not if they have to
But if they want to, first they might confront you

But every ni**a on my block can`t stop
And he won`t stop and he don`t stop
Not to the bang bang boogie, but they like to gangbang
And rookies ain`t the only ones that drop

Some say the little locs are gettin` a little too loc`ed
And when it comes to dust, they kick up the most
Say the wrong word then whistle down the street
To your homies like a bird
Bust a U-turn, come back and get served ni**a

For the women, it don`t matter how loud they blouse get
But wearin` the wrong color outfit, could get your mouth split
It`s a shame but it ain`t no thang to me
`Cuz I slang these thangs like a G

It`s on, is anybody killin` for the summertime
I gotta get another nine, even though I`m color blind

I`m fresh outta county on bail
And no sooner do I get out, seems like I`m right back in jail
For some gang related activity
`Cuz everyday, different fools try to get with me

And for no more than a color or territory
Can`t rehabilitate `em, that`s the sheriff`s story
So what`s left, the judge goes deaf
When you try to tell your side and you ain`t blue eyed

Boy you better duck, `cuz the book is comin`
So just hand your car keys over to your woman
Because it ain`t no sunshine where you headed
And the s**t`ll drive you crazy if you let it

But now, I got time to think
Because they hit me with everything but the kitchen sink
And I ain`t even shed a tear
`Cuz believe it or not, they got more love for me here

Now picture that but on a black and white photograph
`Cuz brothas, you don`t know the half
On the streets, I was damn near outta my mind
But ever since I`ve been down, I`m color blind

Now here`s the game plan, yo, at a quarter to nine
I was told to peel a cap on the other side
Yo, young and dumb, full of come up, a baby loc
I gotta put in work for the hood and that ain`t no joke

Stable and able but I`m not ready and willin`
`Cuz I`m only thirteen and I ain`t never did a killin`
Grabbed the A.K. and jumped in the G ride
Started up the bucket and headed for the other side

Yo, spotted the enemies, now I`m on a creep tip
Hit the five dollar stick and I`lI put in my clip
So, I jumped out the car and no matter what the cost
I had my mind set on sendin` ni**az to Harrison Ross

Caught one from the back and I looked in his eyes
Thinkin` should I peel his cap or should I let him survive
Yo, I`m trapped in the plan designed by another side
I ain`t contributin` to genocide, `cuz I`m color blind

Ni**az in the hood ain`t changed
And I`ve finally figure out that we`re not in the same gang
`Cuz I walk the alleys of Compton with nowhere to turn
Every which way I get burned, baby

Lou wears blue, Big Fred wears red
Put `em together then we color `em dead
Dead, dyin`, gettin` smoked like part of the fun
They get smoked just to show how many come to the funeral

I understand how all my homeboys feel
`Cuz I`ve been shot to this day, I pack my steel
`Cuz I was born in a certain territory
Where you don`t talk only the streets tell stories

With blue and red bandanas on the street
And if you slippin`, you`ll be six feet deep
See me and T-bone, we pay it no mind
And for the rest of the mob, we stay color blind
