 So that night me and Afrika Islam went in the studio and we made colors and what I did was I rapped from a I spoke from this perspective of a gang member And I I know this Growing up with gang members, you know, I'm everything but a gang member But I know exactly that the science the philosophy how they see things But during the time when you made that song colors because that's when I really started to know about gangs I'm being so honest with you I did not know nothing by no gang still that song and that movie came on and we fought right after that in Houston, Texas We whooped somebody right after that and I haven't even watched that movie I'm telling you that song Well, see before we do that this would happen with colors colors is a movie about LA gangs It wasn't factual because in the movie the Mexicans in the blacks fought Correct skins and blacks have never fought. Okay, there's never been a Mexican black gang war There's been drug situations with the Mexicans in the blacks, but actual War a war between a different, you know, Compton Crips fighting met no because that would that would be that would be the end of LA If that happened why the black now in prison they're separated Oh for sure in prison and the Mexicans are separated. You have the border brothers You got south and northern or ten years you got that but on the streets Mexican black people kind of live together We low-ride together we we all it's all like blacks and Puerto Ricans You want to start a war start blacks and the Puerto Ricans fighting in New York? Yeah, crazy. That'd be a bloodbath. Yes, so The movie was gonna get made and they were like, yo, you know, we could Shoot it in Chicago Because and they were like we'll shoot it in LA. They're like their gangs in LA that year 387 kids had died in gang homicide. It just wasn't in the news Wow, it just was not in the news. So when they did colors, they created a fake narrative And they wanted to use my song squeeze the trigger From from Ryan Page. Was it true that Rick James had a verse that he was he was a virgin He was trying to put out everywhere I go. So so I couldn't see it But somebody told me I can't see it, but it's wet James rest in peace is dope. That was not the right place for Rick James. So what happens is they wanted to use the song Follow me. Yes, I got and I know that I know that if they want to use your song in a movie You can ask to see the movie If they ever want to play some record you can say can I see can I see the movie you can play the game? Like, I don't know, you know Of course, I'll let them use my phone. I got to see the movie. So when I saw the movie, I was like Do you got a title song? And they go, yeah, well, Rick James did it. I'm like, come on, man So that night me and Africa is I'm winning the studio and we made colors and what I did was I rapped from a I spoke from this perspective of a gang member And I I know this growing up with gang members, you know I'm everything but a gang member, but I know exactly that the science the philosophy how they see things and Yeah, I wrote the song I turned the song in and they went crazy How long did it take you to write to write that one day when the song the song is so dope that people think I was in the movie What you better know it. I was if that song wouldn't have been there I don't know On that movie, I'm telling you that movie would not have been the same at all But did it help that you actually saw the movie before you actually wrote the song? It helps you what they needed Yeah, of course, I just said, you know, but I needed to write a song that would would Encapsulate gang banging. So I said the lyrics go I'm a nightmare walking psychopath talking king of my jungle just a gangster stalking living life Like a firecracker quick as my fuse then dead is a death back the colors I choose red or blue cuz of blood it just don't matter suck a dive for your life with my shotgun That's really gangs of LA will never die Just multiply colors. You know, you were saying that colors part two colors. You don't know me fool You just own me cool. I don't need your assistance social persistence any problem. I got I just stick my fist in My life is violent but violent is life pieces of dream reality is a knife My color is my honor my colors my all my colors upon me one soldier stands tall Tell me what have you left me? What have I got last night in cold blood my young brother got shot My homeboy got jack my mother's on crack my sister can't work cause her arm shows tracks Madness insanity living profanity then some punk claiming you're understanding me Give me a break. What world do you live in death is my set guess my religion? So I love the way how you wrap because it seems that means a lot of people want to be in the game My pants are sagging braided hair suck a stare, but I don't care my game ain't knowledge My games fear. I'm no remorse. So squares beware, but my true mission is just revenge You ain't my set you ain't my friend where the wrong color your life could end Homicides my favorite binge colors. So I'll just walk like a giant police defiant You'll say to stop but I'll say that I can't my gang's my family. They're all that I have I'm a star on the walls my autograph You don't like it. So you know where you can go because the streets on my stage Terror is my show Psycho and lies try diagnosed me why it wasn't your brother to brutally die, but it was mine So let me define my territory don't cross the line Don't try that crazy because that shit don't faze me if you ran like a bitch It wouldn't amaze me because my color is death Though we all want peace, but our war won't end till all war cease and that last line really is saying that Peek why need to stop gangbanging? Well, why don't we just stop all wars? Wars are wars. Yeah, wars are wars. So It was a way of just saying that This is the psychology of the gangbanger, but it's it's not Any different than the police game or any war Wow To be honest with you Is because I was never a person who listened to rap as much because whether I couldn't understand it or it was too fast But the way in which how you rap is like you can hang on to each and every word and get it It was very poetic, but it's also influential very well Chuck says I don't rhyme Chuck D says I don't rhyme for the sake of riddling You know, I'm not wasting words. Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna talk Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one Yeah, we gonna talk
