Lyric

Orange on the concrete

Purple in the clouds

Same sun hit every block

Just look different coming down

We got history

We got pride

We got scars on different sides

But before another brother bleed

Talk to me

Sunset burning, whole avenue gold

Purple on the skyline, stories getting told

Every block got language, every corner got codes

If you ain’t from here, better learn before you judge

Different hand signs, different ways we say peace

Different clothes, different sounds in the beat

Same hunger in the stomach, same pain in the street

Same mama hoping every night her son come home to sleep

I seen arguments grow from a look too long

One wrong word make the whole thing wrong

Pride get loud when the crowd come strong

But being first to calm down don’t make you soft

Nah, that’s control

That’s knowing the cost

One stupid minute could be years getting lost

Before we turn brothers to names on a wall

Ask what really happened — maybe nothing at all

Orange purple painted in the sky

Two different colors, still they share the same light

We can disagree, we don’t gotta divide

Put the pride to the side, let the real ones talk right

Orange purple over every street

Passion in the blood, but respect run deep

I don’t wanna hurt my brother over words we can speak

No violence, just honor — that’s peace to me

Culture ain’t costume, gotta know where it came

Every slang got history, every dance got a name

Every neighborhood carrying joy with the pain

You don’t gotta live my life just to respect my lane

When two worlds collide, don’t assume it’s war

Could be two different rhythms looking for the same chord

You say it one way, I might say it one more

Still both trying to get through that same damn door

I don’t need to prove I’m a man with a fight

Strength ain’t measured by who bleed tonight

Real power knowing when the temperature rise

And still looking another man straight in the eyes

Say, “What you mean?”

Let him explain

Maybe that disrespect was lost in translation

Maybe both sides carrying yesterday’s pain

And tonight ain’t gotta become another chain

I seen too much blood over nothing but pride

Too many flowers where a conversation could’ve survived

If I call you brother, then I mean that for life

So let’s settle that shit while we’re both still alive

Orange purple painted in the sky

Two different colors, still they share the same light

We can disagree, we don’t gotta divide

Put the pride to the side, let the real ones talk right

Orange purple over every street

Passion in the blood, but respect run deep

I don’t wanna hurt my brother over words we can speak

No violence, just honor — that’s peace to me

Sunrise coming, orange cutting through purple

New day saying we ain’t trapped in the circle

We inherited beef, but it don’t make it eternal

Old wounds real, still the healing is personal

Respect ain’t fear and peace ain’t weak

It take more guts sometimes just to speak

When everybody watching, waiting for heat

Be the one cool enough not to feed the street grief

If we got a problem, pull me to the side

No cameras, no crowd, no ego to ride

Tell me what I did, I’ll tell you my side

Nine times out of ten, we can leave it behind

That’s grown-man timing, no need for applause

Knowing every action got somebody involved

Your brother, my brother, somebody’s child

One bad night hit a family for miles

Orange is the fire that keeps us alive

Purple is the wisdom telling fire how to shine

Need both colors when the sun hit the sky

Passion without reason burn everything dry

So when the evening fall and the whole block glow

Remember every person got somewhere to go

We ain’t gotta be the same just to honor the code

Different colors, same sky, same road

Orange purple painted in the sky

Two different colors, still they share the same light

We can disagree, we don’t gotta divide

Put the pride to the side, let the real ones talk right

Orange purple over every street

Passion in the blood, but respect run deep

I don’t wanna hurt my brother over words we can speak

No violence, just honor — that’s peace to me

Orange for the passion

Purple for the mind

Different shades together

Still one sky

Talk first

Respect always

Everybody get home tonight
