The Blues

You hear the news? I've got the blues It's my theme music If you didn't have a clue I feel down Down in the dumps But I'm about to advance Press my luck I keep my head down like Charlie Brown in his prime I play piano sounds that float around in my mind It’s the type of soundtrack that allows me to flow I lay my raps down as if I were playin’ a jazz show The emotion that I’m spittin’ is very real I go through the motions just so I can feel The pain that’s buried inside, yes I did hide How I feel when I sigh, I don’t know how to cry Everybody creates a persona so they can bury it deep But when their life begins to crumble, they begin to weep No one’s invincible, no one is bulletproof Eventually, y’all must face the moment of truth Will you let the blues consume who you are Or will you come out better, shinin’ like a star That’s the situation that I’m facin’ right now Can I get through this ever, I’m asking myself; how? This the blues, this the music that soothes This the music right here that makes everybody move This the groove, this the rhythm, this is life itself This the medicine that nurses everybody so well With the bass and the beat and the snare and the kick And the melody that’s sure to ease your pain quick This is music that’s bound to make your soul last This is music that’s bound to get you past your past This is theme music, for the average man Goin’ through something tough or terrible, it’s sad Tryin’ to get through the storm is such a pain Always drained, always ashamed, it’s just so insane As the rain falls down, splashin’ on the concrete I walk to the sounds of the bass and the beat Trynna figure out how to get out of this mindstate Of sadness and depression, the feelin’ ain’t that great It’s consumed over 99% of my mind Torturing me to the point where I’m unable to find Some semblance of happiness and peace Somethin’ that will help keep my life at ease They call it “the blues” for a reason It’s emotional, moody and it’s so reveal in’ It’s the music that inspired an entire generation It’s the music that fuels my soul and fits my situation This the blues, this the music that soothes This the music right here that makes everybody move This the groove, this the rhythm, this is life itself This the medicine that nurses everybody so well With the bass and the beat and the snare and the kick And the melody that’s sure to ease your pain quick This is music that’s bound to make your soul last This is music that’s bound to get you past your past This the blues, this the music that soothes This the music right here that makes everybody move This the groove, this the rhythm, this is life itself This the medicine that nurses everybody so well With the bass and the beat and the snare and the kick And the melody that’s sure to ease your pain quick This is music that’s bound to make your soul last This is music that’s bound to get you past your past
