"THE BLUES" lyrics
(Jammy on the beat, boy)
Lately I've been feelin' down, I think I caught the blues
That shit ripped my heart to pieces soon as I saw the news
They killed my cousin and my auntie, ain't even have clue
They found my granny dead, nobody knew what to do
Been dead for days just layin' down, how the fuck nobody knew?
You done got me started, so I guess I gotta finish you
Don't talk that pain to me 'cause this some shit you ain't been through
Nigga, I had mob ties 'fore I could even tie my shoes
We didn't skip steps, but somehow we still movin' slow
I've been through way too much, they don't know
I hold on to my past, can't let go
My chest won't hold this down, I gotta let you know (Everybody wanna know)
"K, why you distant?" I rather keep my distance (I)
These sleek niggas got me itchin' (Yeah), my bitch got me in my feelings (Yeah)
Don't wanna cut 'em, but I'm willin' (Yeah, yeah), can't be fuckin' up my feelings (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
I need way more than a million (Yeah, yeah), tryna wake up and blow millions
Seventeen years of violence, I've been wakin' up the killings (Yeah)
Fifteen, I fell victim to them drugs, but I be chillin'
Neighborhood hero, but I'm livin' like a villain
Go through pain, but I'm grindin', haven't had no time for healin'
Lately I've been feelin' down, I think I caught the blues (Blues)
That shit ripped my heart to pieces soon as I saw the news (News, news)
They killed my cousin and my auntie, ain't even have clue (Clue, clue)
They found my granny dead, nobody knew what to do (Do, do)
Been dead for days just layin' down, how the fuck nobody knew? (Knew, knew)
You done got me started, so I guess I gotta finish you (You, you)
Don't talk that pain to me 'cause this some shit you ain't been through (Through, through)
Nigga, I had mob ties 'fore I could even tie my shoes (My shoes, shoes)
My enemies startin' to look like my friends again
Hopin' I lose, they don't wan' see me win again (Win, nah)
I set that fire and these niggas start payin' again
When I drop this song, they gon' call me the man again
Don't wanna see none of my bros in the can again
My homie swipe, but he won't never have to scam again
Old homie snaked me, he cannot be my man again
I got trust issues, can't believe I ran with him, goddamn
Been on my own ever since I was born, nigga, trust and believe, I don't need nobody (Yeah)
I play it smart, but deep down in my heart, boy, you better believe I'ma catch that body (Yeah)
We can get busy, hell yeah, I'm 'bout it (Yeah)
I leave the city, won't tell nobody (Yeah)
Fuck all the critics, they never gon' stop me
Came from a distance, that boy gotta watch me
Field life for your family, feel like you don't need 'em (No)
In that studio all night, blood, sweat, tears in my sight just to feed 'em (Huh)
Them odds been stacked against me damn near my whole life, I'm tryna beat 'em (What?)
I done had these pain stories locked up for so long, it's time to free 'em
They didn't understand a lesson, I stopped tryna teach 'em (Uh)
Twenty-twenty vision, fuck niggas, I still can't see 'em, uh
Plenty, plenty bitches, your bitch might be in my DM (Uh)
And she ain't tryna use a condom, she wan' be my BM, uh
If it ain't my niggas (Uh), I don't need these niggas
In a world full of books, the way I read these niggas
And I won't let myself stop tryna feed these niggas
Don't let me switch up on your family, tryna please these niggas
Yes, sir
