Singer/actor Trevor Jackson puts his emotions about the continuous police shootings in his song “Colours On The Ground.” The Pay Attention and Killa song was co-written along his brother Iyn Jackson.
“Mama soaked in tears and on her knees/She holds her baby as caution tape around/ She keeps on screaming he was nineteen/the man in blue said ‘I told him to stay down’/That doesn’t make it right/Shame on you shame on you,” Jackson sings.
“I wrote this song after the Alton Sterling and Philando Castile shooting and with the unfortunate tragedies this week involving Terence Crutcher and Keith Lamont Scott,” Jackson says. “I felt compelled to share the song in hopes that it sheds light on these dark times. Using the pain and frustrations that I know a lot of us deal with fueled me to create something that I pray helps others cope with the current state of our country. We can no longer turn a blind eye…change is necessary.”
“Colours On The Ground” will available for purchase on iTunes October 4th and all the proceeds will be donated to the Black Lives Matter organization.
