*Lyrics below*
[Verse 1]
Ali's jabbin' them shit feel like hooks
The less you got stuffed in your pocket books
The more these politicians just sound like crooks
They give me sloppy looks
They gave us nothing, had to hustle same way coffee cook
Early morning grind trying to help these niggas wake up
Etch A Sketch flows, I got the shit to shake up
Niggas switching clothes
Niggas even switch their face up
But these clowns could never really switch their make up
Family's in your genes
Fuck is that, Mesquite?
My triple beam onto bigger schemes
I'm on these waves
Don't expect a hand-clap 'cause you swim upstream
I'm expecting sand traps, I be in the green
If we talking green backs I'm back in the black
Been having the formula since Similac
Delicate flows under heavy metal bars but they're still intact
What's a nigga to do?
When you call the police but the trigger's on you
Shit crazy, man
[Chorus]
What's a nigga to do?
'Cause I be streaming black they'll beat me to blue
Put it on TV then tell you what's true
What's a nigga to do?
What's a nigga to do?
When you call the police but the trigger's on you
[Verse 2]
Pull up on 'em shining CeCe Winans with the C notes
Redefining everything the black man denotes
I could devote time
How many times have we rewrote lines to get it perfect
Miss me with inertia I'm on dirt
You gon' need assumptions, almost certain
My assertion we gon' see if you got gumption
We gon' see if you gon' play it smart or you gon' be on dumb shit
Wrong answer, we-go-dumb shit
Slow you up on some speed-bump shit
On some ski-jump shit
I'm taking flight 'cause all my flows cold
Setting bars, no pole vault
I never blow smoke unless it's unleaded
I guess you won't know my worst
No unedited stress
Go on wax, I mean
[Chorus]
What's a nigga to do?
When you tell 'em who you is and they be like "Who?"
What's a nigga to do?
Yeah, what's a nigga to do?
'Cause I be streaming black they'll beat me to blue
Put it on TV then tell you what's true
What's a nigga to do?
What's a nigga to do?
every channel should do this
You got a lot of lyrics wrong
Miskeen. at least i think so.
@@ChildishGambeaner I think that's from the full song.
It is I just checked I think they only messed up shits in the beginning.
He sounds like a jayz who isn't nervous.
So much natural personality.
miriana lajtman idk about that man he sounds wayy different.
I think it’s more because he was on that Hov flow. Not that I think Mick’s biting styles or anything, just seeing it as relatable or similar
Yes!
yo comment of the decade
jay aint nervous, he's just calculating and paranoid. D'evils...
Kaytranada is one of my favorites. He’s a great producer.
CHRISTI XX outstanding **
very versatile as well
He's my favorite next to Sango. Just saw him at AfroPunk and got my life.
I had no idea this was a kaytranada produced track but after good it is it all makes sense now haha
Kilo Kish needs to drop a new project
The way he "UUUHH!"
I just don’t understand when people say there’s no good rap music anymore. Like, have you even making a basic attempt of trying to find it??
It may be that it was a time when it was Just Out there and maybe they feel that HAVING TO LOOK for it IS the Problem
His complexion up against that blue is the best thing I've seen
Forrealz 💞🙌
"they all beat me to blue"
This is just perfect
Perfect flow
Perfect sample
Perfect color
Just perfect
One of my favorite rappers on colors 😍
FROAT the GOAT
FROAT Check out my review of the song and subscribe PLEASE
Valdon Brissett Check out my review of the song and subscribe PLEASE
FROAT I see you that Mac Miller tribute was fire!!
One of my fav rappers . period
Song hitting different lately
Man what
That casual style with the orange shorts contrasts the blue well.
NerdAce Complimentary colors bruh 👌🏻
Mick’s style is unmatched... his Instagram is clean af
@@guye94 freshest man on earf
One of those artist you don't want the world to taint.
Sooo good 😍🕸👑👑
You hit the nail on the head
Gift from the great Divine
mainstream aint gone taint him.
One of those artist the world could never🙌
Don't taint him or the channel...almost don't wanna share but to good not too! Right on!
that choppy groove is everything
Mick's flow so effortless.
class of his own, i can't compare him to no other.
Jr. Molefhi I’d say his closest musical relatives are jay z and Isaiah rashad.
Top fuckin tier
Only ones kinda like this is say Ab-Soul and Saba..mick and Saba have a song together too!
Can't believe they got Mick Jenkins on here. Colors you gleefully surprised me once again.
WHEN YOU CALL THE POLICE BUT THE TRIGGERS ON YOU?!
Do you hear me
EYYYYY SMAXXXXX😂🔥🔥🔥 I found the homes lurking
Phillip Mkandawire HALA HALA HALA
UH
Hi
This beat always gives me chills. And with Mick's voice and flow it's like bread and butter.
BLACK TALENT IS FALLING FROM THE SKY LIKE RAIN BRUH, IM HERE, IM VIBING
I saw "Produced by Kaytranada", i clicked.
I listenned Mick Jenkins for the first time, i will click.
Stronglou923 listen to his mixtape “The Waters”
WATERS!!!
I'm partial to trees and truths personally but "the waters" is definitely his most accessible. For real tho, all his shit is gold
SAME!
Dan E yoooooo, trees and truth is hella underrated. That mixtape SLAPPSSSS
I cant believe im seeing mick on colors. Loved thia guy since the waters
Martyrs was my introduction
Water[s] was my first introduction to him too, love this guys flow and lyrics 🔥
Thank god for the waters
Mick Cage, Trees & Truth.
Dear god the world really needs a whole Mick & Kaytranada project pls make it happen 🙏
we still ain't got this, guess we ain't ready
He is the reason why I came back listening to hip-hop and honestly I don't regret it. His flow is insane... so chill bro no aggression. Everything's under control.. thanks bro
i see mick jenkins, I know im about to get a life lesson.
Mz Kegz I feel better about the album after hearing this song.
Facts Sis! Yesss*
Faxx
Word he’s got that conscious flow. Reminds me of this new UK rap group they’re stuff is 🔥🔥🔥 heard em on radio ruclips.net/video/eXWNb1jUHy4/видео.html
FACTS #HipHopLives
A perfect piece.
It’s beautiful how the original song has 300k views but the un-edited, raw version has 2.5 million views. It really shows how genuine his music is
Mick Jenkins da goat. Nough said
Broke Boi stfu bitch
Song is fire af and he has other great tracks but goat idk about that one lmao
So aesthetically pleasing. I wish my dreams could happen in one of COLORS’ studio haha
Such an imposing presence by the way. Loving the vibe.
Keep it up.
COLORS' drop without a comment of Lou Guardini aka Woowoo aka Clutcheuse pro is not a proper COLORS' drop
SamLHL 😂😂😂
1:35 when she’s using teeth
💀💀💀
Maaan I had to read this comment at work...got me dyin in this mug lmaoo
IM FUCKING DEAD💀
I AM DEAD
This the type of comment I been looking for😭😭
These the type of artists that should be the focal point of mainstream hip hop
He got a unique flow always dropping timeless tracks & lowkey sounds like HOV
My man dropped the best Jay-Z song that Jay never dropped. “Soft Porn”
Mick and Kaytranada is such a ill combo forreal
Snapped! I know some people weren't crazy about THC but I loved that album. Can't wait for the next one!
Yup....... I think lyrically and ecstatically this is where he's gonna solidify himself.
Loved ThC not my favorite overall project from mick but one of top three songs is on there
This song is still relevant to this day
Mick & Kaytra !!!!! Awesome collab!
This song needs to be heard now more than ever.
Jenkin's ain't scared to spit some consciousness
ppl do NOT understand how deep this song is 😭
AT this point, we need a project with Kaytranada ! 🌊🌊🌊
I love this kid. He be spittin straight FLAMES. Thank you COLORS
spits so effortlessly, and rides the kaytra beat so smoothly. true talent!
Mick gives me hope that hip hop ain't completely lost in this generation.
really appreciate mick as an individual in hip hop, dude has flows and lyrics like no one else. and he dresses like no one else either, has his own style all around
underrated
It’s an honor Colors. Thanks!!!
needed right now
nahhhhhh this is actually fire!!!this is the waters mick, this that clear pure mick to my ears
Song more relevant than ever! 🔥🤾🏽♂️
"Im on these waves,don't expect a handclaps
Coz you swim upstream"
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Water.......Siiiiiiiiiiip!
Finally Mick Jenkins got on COLORS, I've been patiently waiting for this one, Mick never has never wrote a bad verse 📝💯
Please get Tobe Nwigwe on, he's such a talented rapper perfect for COLORS, he'd kill it 💥🔥🔥💥 #getTWISTEDsundays
Fyi just seen this comment today 12.10.2021 and wanted to let you know that Mick Jenkins finally did a Tiny Desk Concert that dropped today on RUclips! 😎🎧🎵👌
He said "had the formula since similac" . Im done. His wordplay is unreal. Incredibly underrated
Finally an original flow, been a while since I heard one! Mick still got it.
Liking the flow....Loving the sample...."Can't hide love"
SHOUTOUT KAYTRANADA
This version is much better than the one on spotify. Could you guys please upload this version to spotify
Kaytra and Mick is such a GOATED Duo.
Here after Kaytranada produced a project for IDK. Had to go back to this sick performance by Mick Jenkins and this funky beat.
His rapping his pure... Dope flow like Jazzy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏
Awww shit this is brand spanking new too 😨😨
“I’m on these waves, don’t expect a hand clap cause you from upstream.” 🔥
His confidence, the way he's feeling the beat and lyrical content😌 I love me some Mick.
"Im on these waves don't expect a handclap cause you swim upstream" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That 1st line...over for everybody!!!
Earth, wind, and spit fire...
real hip hop plain and simple
One of the best in the game rn 😤😤😤
Few songs can make you wanna go make a song as a Emcee this is one of them
presentation of this song 10/10 fr
0:47-1:10 most beautiful sounds i've heard bruh
Criminally underrated😤 Mick did his thing on this
Reginald Dumornay CRIMINALLY!!!
It's about timeee, COLORS finally drank some water. Shout out to my man Mick, keep making waves 🌊🌊
That tone he has and that color he spits is so nostalgic. I love this.
Bars and beats so brilliantly meshed together. Vibrant color gives it a different feeling
I'm jealous of all the people listening to this for the first time
Well done. Kay x Jenkins is too good. Both are great artists!
Mick jenkins has grown a lot honestly. Different styles he uses in his music is krazy good.
Coldest Ever to Hit the Colours Mansion of Shades
i aint rewatched a colors video this much since goldlink came through
Known both of these for a while, so happy to see the collab on COLOURS no less... Go hulk mode mick!
Omg. You got Mick on here. He destroyed it, as usual
good gracious, such feelings from this can't be duplicated
Kaytranada and OnGaud have the most fire beats
My dream has come to reality thanke a lot colors.
Glad to have you back Mick!
I don’t know what it was, but as SOON as the first word of the first line came out of his mouth, I knew I had to add him to my library
when you call the police but the trigger is on you ... #justiceforgeorgefloyd
@Justin Rodriguez and it's relevant because #justiceforgeorgefloyd, do you not see the link, or perhaps you don't believe he deserves justice? What's the point you're trying to make?
💪✊
Pull up on em shining CeCe Winans with the 'C' notes 🤌🏾
you cant get more hip hop than MICK
Mick's flow and lyricism are on another level.
Obviously lyrical flow a thing of beauty.. but this beat just hits my souls so damn nice
Harder than all the ones I’ve heard before 🔥🔥🤘🏾🤧
He’s way too lit
everything kaytranada touches man
Wow 😍😍 Much love 🌟🌟
-Neila 🌹 kisses from Toulouse, France ❤
KAYTRANADA and mick Jenkins tape would be amazing
Lovin the way his lyrics flow so smoothly. 🌟
Love you Mick! 💙
Sounds like jayz and i love it
