[Intro: Color Me Badd]
Ooh. Oh, yeah
Ghetto Rainbows, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ghetto Rainbows, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
Let's see, we got homes abandoned, fires flare
Don't dare walk down over there
Hookers, pimps, Oxi80's
Trailer park meth labs, crack babies
In the spot, workin' cook up
Walk outside, take a look up
It's a rainbow over the city
Look back down around you, shitty!
Gun shots heard, killers are lurkin'
Yet still I hear the birds are chirpin'!
This world ain't meant for this
So much bliss, but easy to miss!
Rubbers on the sidewalk, used syringes
Stuck in a hotel, two week binges
Look high in the sky to remind you
Even if you're lost, rainbows will find you!

[Chorus: Color Me Badd]
(Ghetto Rainbows)
It's time to free your mind and face the children dancing on "Ghetto Rainbows"
And notice every color of life's unchanging shades of love in "Ghetto Rainbows"
Ghetto Rainbows
[Verse 2: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
Built with AIDS, Pepsi, coke
I ain't talkin' Pepsi, crack smoke!
All in the rain, down the drain
Mom’s in pain, need that boy in her veins!
It's so hard, so many distractions
So much negative action
Keeps your attention placed
Off the magic and on the waste!
If you see a rainbow, look quick
Potholes will wreck yo' shit!
Don't get caught dreamin' I hope, *Gun cocking*
Ya head might get locked in a scope! *Gun Shot*
If you standin' there, lookin' at a rainbow
You might wonder, "Where'd your brains go?"
For everyone that wanna see you succeed
A hundred mo' wanna see you bleed!

[Chorus: Color Me Badd]
(Ghetto Rainbows)
It's time to free your mind and face the children dancing on "Ghetto Rainbows"
And notice every color of life's unchanging shades of love in "Ghetto Rainbows"
Ghetto Rainbows

[Verse 3: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
Rainbows don't hate or discriminate
It's mankind’s fate to create mistakes
Just look at the skies, above the gutter
Above the war zones, above each other
Rainbow's stretch over lands of ruin
Over troubles brewin', whatever we doin'
Don't live blind, a sheep in line
Find it, make the best of yo' time!
G Codes, street laws, rules I drop
We only get this one chance, I won't flop
I want mo' than I got, I'ma find the pot
At the end of the rainbow, like it or not
I'm not gon' rot, stop on the block
Shot by a cop in the parkin' lot
When my beat stop, 'least I gave it a shot
No regrets when my death goes pop!
[Chorus: Color Me Badd]
(Ghetto Rainbows)
It's time to free your mind and face the children dancing on "Ghetto Rainbows"
And notice every color of life's unchanging shades of love in "Ghetto Rainbows"
Ghetto Rainbows

[Outro: Color Me Badd]
Ghetto Rainbows
Ghetto Rainbows
Ghetto Rainbows
Ghetto Rainbows
Yeah, ooh yeah yeah yeah
