For Colored Boys

Anthony J. Shears Verse 1: This shit/song here is for colored boys Brown, Black, Red and Other Boys Who grew up without fathers So we mother’s boys Where father’s day is like leprachauns and unicorns With learned identities Feel it, .We all Jason Bournes Face the music and turn my pain into a symphony The number 1 in G minor Cuz keys open the industry The best way to predict the future’s to invent it For us colored boys the best is barely good enough Real Shit Deveraux Verse #1: This one here is for colored boys Goin harder than them other boys Movin up, well dressed Standing up bouta make some noise All swag and classic style Fam first we take this vow There’s no limp when we walk Silver tongue when we talk Higher level than the other crowds Anthony J. Shears Verse 2: I be with my brother Devy We be actin’ wrong Tryin to channel our favorite fantasies in all our songs It’s hard lately Music is so bizarre It makes me Feel like we’ve gone from invisible men to tar babies ...Caged birds still singing Niggas chains still blinging Strange fruit still swinging Watching thrones, watching watches with the ice on What if instead their eyes were waching G-d Deveraux Verse #1 We top shelf (better) men everyday If we can't find one, we make our way Yes our ladies, they do the same No excuses in the game we play Everybody on our coat tails ,, If you ain't messin with us, Oh well The trains left the station Tops the destination This here for colored boys Copyright Shear Genius Productions/The Writer’s Room 412
