Red, Black, and Blue

Red, black, and blue.
that's my image of you.

You hit me, beat me, called me some name.
Well now I'll put your beating to shame.

I'll see red, the red of your blood.
It'll be a fantastic flood.

I'll see black, the black of burnt skin.
You don't see the hate within.

I'll see blue, the blue of bruises.
Ready, set, go, we'll see who loses.

You won't hurt me, 'cuz I already see.
I see red, black, and blue... The colors of your fee.

You'll pay for the tears,
The sadness and fears.

I'm sick and through.
Of anything that's you.

Red, black, blue.
All in the right hue.

Red, black, blue.
THAT'S my image of you.
