Colours On The Ground Lyrics - Trevor Jackson

Mama soaked in tears and on her knees 

She holds her baby as caution tapes around 

She keeps on screaming, "He was just 19" 

The men in blue said, "I told him to stay down" 

That doesn't make it right 

Shame on you, shame on you 

And if we asked the ones we lost 

What they did so wrong, all they'd say is 

 

I had my hands up, my hoody on 

Complying, still I'm dying 

I just had my hands up, my hoody on 

No gun was drawn, still they find a way to make us 

Colours on the ground 

That's all they wanna see 

To them we'll always be 

Is just another colour on the ground

A child 4 years old in the back seat 

Someone tread on daddy's shirt after 5 pops ring so loud 

Too young to understand what it quite means 

Why is daddy no longer around? 

If she could ask her father what he did 

What was so wrong, he'd say, baby 

 

I just had my hands up, my dreads were locked 

My skin was black, so they attacked 

Baby, I just had my hands up, my hoody on 

No gun was drawn, still they find a way to make us 

Colours on the ground 

That's all they wanna see 

To them we'll always be 

Is just another colour on the ground 

 

Photos 

 

Together we're strong 

I'm sick of them painting the streets with them brown and reds 

Them brown and reds 

But keep marching on 

I tell them copperly ones, go turn in the badge, turn in the badge 

 

We'll always be here 

They try, they try 

But 

But they can't get rid of us, yeah I stay down for you
