| Seems like dreams like I’ve always had
|
| Could be, should be
|
| Making me glad
|
| Why am I blue?
|
| It’s up to you to explain
|
| Blue

|
| «What's your second favorite color?» |
| (It's up to blue, It’s up to blue)
|
| «Darker pink!»
|
| «What's your third favorite color?» |
| (It's up to blue)
|
| «Green!» |
| (It's up to blue)
|
| «What's your fourth favorite color? |
| (It's up to you to explain)
|
| «Blue»
|
| (You ain’t never been blue)
|
| Like if you grew up on Dre and had to move out to LA
|
| Or it’s your 29th birthday and you ain’t had no place to stay
|
| Or when your mama left your papa, you was five, maybe four
|
| You got a dollar but a meal cost five, maybe more
|
| You sleeping two to a bed, one at the foot, one at the headboard
|
| You studied to be a college student until your head sore
|
| You work at a pet store
|
| You wanna sell your soul but you can’t get no bread for it (You ain’t never
|
| been blue)
|
| You got ate up in a battle, your girlfriend say she don’t like you
|
| You wish it wasn’t your gender, your ethnicity doesn’t fit you
|
| You don’t fit in that school, you got beat up in a fight
|
| Your car got a flat tire, and you got one on your bike
|
| You try to be like your idol, you heard he say he don’t like you
|
| You had a fight with your rival and lost the championship fight
|
| You couldn’t walk at graduation though you tried hard to make it
|
| But everybody don’t make it man (You ain’t never been blue)
|
| Pro broke hustlin or strung out struggling
|
| On the block drug juggling or running from the cop busting
|
| What you talking bout nigga? |
| You ain’t never been caught with pounds
|
| You ain’t never been in the pen without someone to hold you down
|
| You ain’t never been down and out without a dollar for food
|
| Y’all don’t know what I’m talking about, y’all don’t know nothing bout the blues
|
| Sleeping next to cockroaches, eating out of garbage cans
|
| You ain’t never been no man, man (You ain’t never been blue)
|
| You ain’t never been blue
|
| You ain’t never been blue
|
| You ain’t never been blue
|
| You ain’t never been blue
|
| You ain’t never been staked out by cops with guns drawn
|
| Pointed to your dome, your boy runs and he’s gone
|
| You run and hide from the pigs all night long
|
| Seven hours, wake up, get caught, and then moms
|
| Slap you in the face like «Why you at graffiti when
|
| We the ones who’s needy with no food and no TV?
|
| You should get a job for this, get your food cause I rob for this»
|
| Mom’s stealing food in a purse, you ain’t never been this, I promise this
|
| Blue like John, no lights on
|
| No bills paid, no food from Vons
|
| 13 with the flow with my Chuck Taylors on
|
| Listen to the song cause (You ain’t never been blue)
|
| You ain’t never been that, blue when I pen that
|
| Put it on the paper, blue stamp, then I send that
|
| Color the sky, the waters in my eyes, you never did that
|
| Put sorrows in the verse and get dap
|
| You, you ain’t blue
|
| You, you ain’t blue
|
| You ain’t never been blue
|
| The illest rapper rapping that ain’t gold and ain’t platinum
|
| Cause I ain’t sell my soul for some cracker or mansion, see
|
| Just because I’m rapping, don’t mean that I’m stacking
|
| Y’all don’t wanna see me back up in this bitch, backpacking
|
| Get a rise to my show, asking the homie for some dough
|
| You heard somebody you know got shot down by the po'
|
| You brought a child into this world and you can’t pay the rent
|
| Cause your money is spent (You ain’t never been blue)
|
| Blue like my eyes be with gold in the middle
|
| Kinda like my outer and my inner, that’s the riddle
|
| Big blue soul, you ain’t even have a little
|
| Put your hand out, I’ll give you my favorite color of skittle
|
| It’ll be the day, deedeedeedaddeeday
|
| Olly Olly Oxen Free, blue kids come out and play
|
| You are free today, free to be blue anyway
|
| We can run away, but blue is always with you everyday
|
| Blue is on the way, no matter how you feel today
|
| This feeling doesn’t stay in balance, yin and yang
|
| We can sit and run away, paint the town red like the blue when you close the
