[Verse 1] Red light, green light, one-two-three, Ran out da crib like, “Ma, don’t wait for me.” Blue and red lights, sirens and popo on da beat, Saw you in pink, baby tee, big hoops, cross da street. Purple Fun Dip, Pixy Stix on your lips, Bounce, rock, skate, roll, metal skates on our kicks. Boom box on shoulder, music locks da block, Hula hoopin and you smacking Pop Rocks. [Pre-Chorus] We laughed through the pain, Danced through the rain, Made memories outta minimum wage. A little bit broke, A little bit wild, But you could make me smile… [Chorus] Color love sweetly, Red like the fire when we couldn’t agreeeeeeee…… Blue like the nights you were missing meeeeeee…… Yellow like sunshine when you came around, Green like the dreams we were chasing downtown. Purple like the bruises life left on our hearts, But we still found beauty in the broken parts. Black, white, brown—every shade, every touch, We ain’t have a lot… But baby, we had love. [Verse 2] Had to make my move, ya sunny glow bounced off me, Making sure I don’t slip, you made me Mr. Softee. You walked me to da corna store, that’s when I knew, Anytime, anyplace, this love is true. Walking home together, First kiss in stormy weather, Sneaking phone calls, Even tho we knew better. Falling asleep, “Hello, are you there?” That’s the love we share. Time drifts like sand in the glass, Reflecting love and light moved forward from the past. [Bridge — Soul / Spoken Word → Soft Sing] Ooooh… We didn’t need no mansion, Didn’t need no diamond rings… Just your hand in mine and a little faith in our dreams. When the lights got low, You were my candle. When my heart got cold, You were my warmth. When this world got heavy, You said, “Baby, lean on me…” [Final Chorus — Full Soul | Vocal Runs] Color love sweetly, Red like the fire when we couldn’t agreeeeeeee…… Blue like the nights you were missing meeeeeeee……… Yellow like sunshine when you came around, Green like the dreams we were chasing downtown. Purple like the pain that we learned to survive, Gold like the moments that kept us alive. Every scar, every kiss, every tear, every touch— We ain’t have a lot… But baby, we had us.
