Kabomo Colour Of You (feat. Nothende Madumo)
[Kabomo - Talking]
In my people's quest for true freedom
I pray that we unmasked ourselves from everything that allows us to love
'cos love is true freedom
And that's what freedom is
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
'Cos you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
[Verse 1: Kabomo]
The day uh, the day uh
Open your eyes so you can see what I'm facing
Hoping you'll find that you're free like a Mason
Coping you're fine and you won't sink like a basin
You're chosen in time to redeem those chasing the cause
Those freedom fighters, those saving us all
Reading writers, those taking a fall
For a nation appalled
At the numbers we are raking to morgues
We draw a line, so we breaking these laws
Sometimes we stand still
Watching the government attend deals
With war lords who came to kill
A fax later, man, we get the bill
The tax payer man the gape is sealed
So we ask questions about the names
The shame and the pain we feel
And it's unfortunate
The same shit in every country on this continent
The same shit that makes us angry at the consequence
It's a burning lane Steve Biko in a turning grave
I see a hero who came to save
Feeling lethal in the baddest way
'cos love is the colour of you
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
'Cos you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
[Bridge: Nothende]
Every song that I sing is a portrait
Of freedom that love can bring
And with every melody you should see that
The colour of this love is a reflection of you
[Verse 2: Kabomo]
Open your eyes so you can see the sacrifice
That your forefathers gave to cushion you like pillow fights
I'm hoping you'll find that you will need a pen to write
How sick we define ourselves
I think we lost our minds when we towed the lines
The Philistines shoot first and ask last and
They'll break your spine, too fast, and guns blast when
They take your time and choose chance with no advancement
And my assessment is that
I would need truth for clarity like a cat scan
I'm going insane, mad confusion
I'm losing my way, whatever road we're choosing
A product of rage, an optical illusion
Everything I do is just a cue to get me boozin'
Give me some love to get me feeling human
To receive that freedom from skies
To redeem what we're feeling inside
Because fear is just a demon a lie
I shed a tear, because I'm keeping alive
Because love is the colour of you and that's true
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
Coz you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
