Once again my friend I try To help improve another brother's life By coming through with the righteous groove Tells right from wrong, makes people move Not, idiot crossover songs That appeal to all and make you sing along, no This one is for the chosen few Who want to build and uplift my people too, so Listen to the words I speak Cause the words are truth and truth's what I teach By talkin bout the things that I see When talkin bout this color called ebony This ebony Not sellin drugs, I'm above a thug Killin off his own, tryin to make a buck, naw That ain't the way it's done today Gotta come together and gotta educate Gotta, uplift, lift up your head Stand strong and proud, don't end up dead Take time to make that move Be sure to be straight and you'll improve Live long, be strong, and you'll see That better is a life lived long and carefree Just stay on a righteous path You'll see the truth and won't have to ask why I don't make the rhymes that say How ignorant brothers act nowadays I just talk about the things that I see When talkin bout this color called ebony This ebony Now break Smooth Now I want y'all to listen, see what you're missin What lacks in the competition is Strong words, of pride and unity I'm glad that y'all in tune to me I'm here to let y'all know P-Dog is sick and I'll run the show By talkin bout the things that I see When talkin bout this color called ebony This ebony Smooth
