I know it seems like life is never fair
I know you been hurt a lot and never spared
You build walls and barricades
To make sure nobody can steal your heart again and run away
It’s ok to be afraid
Keep working hard for better days
You’re AMAZING stay RESILIENT
You are GODLY you are BRILLIANT
Don’t let your shine fade away
Break down those walls and pave the way
Heal your heart and break chains
You weren’t made to stay the same
We were black settlers trying to find a place to call home
Langston had a dream, he wanted us to have a state to call our own
White America also had a dream, they had a different vision
north and south were the division
We took it and built with the little territory we were given...
Black entrepreneurs we started our own district
Bankers, Doctors, and Teachers
They didn’t believe we were smart enough to become readers
The Greenwood District we were alive, wealthy and thriving!
The white man feared to see us do more than just surviving!
If it wasn't Dick Rowland, they would have found another reason
By any means they were ready to call it treason
Red summers, and lynching season
Planes in the sky dropping bombs to kill us all
They torched everything to see our city fall
16 hours was all it took to burn our black city to the ground
They couldn't bear to see us try to snatch back our precious crowns
I LIVE BLUE
I BREATHE BLUE
I SEE BLUE
I AM... BLUE
The color of peace, the color of freedom and the ability to create
The calm sensation of good vibes and still nights
my blue aura keeps me alive
I am the sky
I am the ocean and the twinkling stars at night
I am the cool sensation of inspiration
I AM... BLUE
I am the intellectual invitation
Under candle lit conversations
My aura is... BLUE
When I smile it projects inside you
I am the loyal representation of truth
The blue flame that flickers deep inside you
Igniting intuition that lives inside you
The blue light that sends your imagination running wild
The free-spirited feeling that makes you feel like a child...
I AM BLUE
I breathe BLUE
I live... BLUE
