Lyrics Wretch 32 – Colour Purple

Wretch 32:
Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live
Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live
Subtleties, summer breeze

I feel golden today
That Monday blues brother
Boy was I blue brother, who
Was I fooling? excuses, excuses
Changing everyday
Ruby, Tuesday

Kojey Radical:
I was 14 when I first knew I was black
Not by pigmentation but hatred and fear attacks
Never learned to love what your page 3 for that
Loudest one talking was empty in fact Ergh
I remember that day like it was yester
Enough to leave a grown man pale like uncle fester
I ain’t had apology yet to cover bruises
Tried to complain but the system said it was useless

Wretch 32:
Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live
Ever spent your whole life waiting for the life that you wanna live
Subtleties, summer breeze

All white suit when I die, I’ll put the colour
My pen always kept me in line
When I was colouring my roots, blossoming to the sky
They want a summer fling
The colour purple in my sight, I fell in love with it
My blood bleed red like a redneck
But my teeth? Them are whiter than them face
And my skins all dark like I’m Kinte (Kunte Kinte)
That means I had to sell green for that rent there
This is my palette, this is my talent
These watercolours got me feeling like I’m magic
This is my palette, this is my talent
These watercolours got me feeling like I’m magic
