SHADES OF BLUE

[Verse 1:] So many shades of blue colored on this window pane I need the rain to come again and wash away the pain I’m tired of situations where I’m getting stuck again The way I’m use to livin’ life’ll never be the same Pay attention to that low hanging fruit That’s the apple of your dream One bite I’ll forever be asleep I was Adam leading Eve Except I never let her near the tree I was praying for the lord to keep us clean Now I know that I may struggle with my own walk Sittin’ in this hourglass Tears streamin’ feel like waterfalls how they flow and crash Never greener on the other side I had to mow the grass The way you live your life is how you make it, why’d you make it bad? Hopin’ for a change, stuck in your ways and never givin’ back Gave up everything I ever wanted cause it’s all I had Double, triple that and pay it forward how I’m givin’ back That’s how I’m giving back [Chorus] [Verse 2:] See what’s a dollar really worth See what’s a dollar really worth when I can’t afford the cost of living Even when I die it’s still gon cost a pretty penny Spending up my last till it’s my last day out here living in a system That’s been pickin’ through my pockets for that dollar I been saving for a rainy day On them porches they been tryna smoke the pain away And all my angels out here fallin’ tryna make a way They keep us boxed in In them projects Making jeans without no pockets You gon point it Better pop it Ain’t no saving Grace Look me in my eyes and you can tell I died a thousand times before this life was mine My spirits so divine I crossed the line a couple times to take what’s mine I had to learn that consequences truly burn The path I walk of true discernment Unrehearsed, I never put on shows for people’s entertainment Flip it in reverse Go play it back Now that’s yo entertainment I never put on shows for people’s entertainment Flip it in reverse Go play it back Now that’s yo entertainment [Chorus] [Outro:] Shades of blue
