Fish Out Of Water

VERSE:
Real black is chocolate
Father of the angry rap
And I dont take shit
My kids are grown for that
Clothes stay fresh my COLOR comes out proper
Old money coming in, looking for the sponsor
Sitting at the college, refuse to waste the years
Education aint the only thing that gets a brother here
Success as it appears, is hard for those aspiring
Can not participate if you only admiring
Rocks can never shine
No matter how you polish it
Race for a dream
Some people's drives is counterfeit
I possess the opposite and engine with an oil change
you can run your mouth but we don't say the same thing
BLUE is like a monster
There is nothing to question
Not a lot of people survive what I'm raised in
I don't hold favors
Above labor
Working in society, but none of that applies to me
Never liked straight lines
I don't follow orders
I'd die for this COLOR like a fish outta water
Pride in my stride, I'm like the light in the tunnel
Virginia on my back I QB for the huddle
And with ease you'll believe a higher power is my voice of reason
Not these frequent conversations with personal demons
we all got a side that we hide for a reason
So we apply pressure when nothing is bleeding
CHORUS:
Uh!
Like a fish outta water
(never like straight lines I don't follow orders)
I'd die for this COLOR like a fish outta water
(2x)

More Than Yesterday
03:51

CHORUS:
When it all falls down
I loved you more than yesterday
I know the way that things turned out
Won't make you smile, like you used to
I'm not the same guy, that I used to be
When it was you and me
Alone with all these open streets
But now that that's over
VERSE 1:
The moments always seemed to fly
Whenever we have little time
Gave ourselves the weekends
I wanted you all the time
Change was never hard to find, sticking to it's different
Music is my purpose, you became my reason
And like anything good
It started off smooth we always smiled a lot
Right after the argument, that's when all the talking stopped
Now we just the cute couple, screaming in the parking lot
Everybody's looking now, tell me that this isn't us
Not at all, something's wrong, have you noticed
That my side of the bed has been missing you rolling over
Put your head on my chest and then tug away all the covers
Tell me where we went wrong and maybe we'll start it over right from there.
CHORUS:
When it all falls down
I loved you more than yesterday
I know the way that things turned out
Won't make you smile, like you used to
I'm not the same guy, that I used to be
When it was you and me
Alone with all these open streets
But now that that's over
VERSE 2:
Who let your friends in, thought this was our relationship
Why everytime I call your phone Lisa gotta answer it
What happened to the we, that we worked so hard to cultivate
How an I a waste of time, I thought we spent our moments great
Our memories are flawless
Skip the altercations
Rewind the foolishness
And take it back to basics
Back to getting along
We used to do that fine
Now every week ends with you losing your mind
And I'm the bad guy
And that's time after to time
Said we should break it off
You always change your mind
But I'm a sucker for your tears, you already know
So you'll take me to water world as soon as I start to hit the door
CHORUS:
When it all falls down
I loved you more than yesterday
I know the way that things turned out
Won't make you smile, like you used to
I'm not the same guy, that I used to be
When it was you and me
Alone with all these open streets
But now that that's over
BRIDGE:
Friday I realize I should stay away
Cause I'll never make a move trying to carry all our weight
And you're disappointed, I can see it in your face
What's a burger and some fries when you like carrots with your cake
Saturday its show time ready for the stage
But before I leave the dressing room my BLUEberry rings
A text comes in, wishing me good luck
P.S. after the show can we talk....
LAST CHORUS:
When it all falls down
I loved you more than yesterday
I know the way that things turned out
Won't make you smile, like you used to
I'm not the same guy, that I used to be
When it was you and me
Alone with all these open streets
But now that that's over
Now that that's over
Now that that's over
Now that that's over
Now that that's over
When it all falls down
I loved you more than yesterday
I know the way that things turned out
Won't make you smile, like you used to

VERSE 1:
By way of a monster, lost is not specific
Losing not an option when my COLOR is my business
Little pieces here and there
Not a lot of details
I can tell you're tired
A hoverboard don't need wheels
Far beyond the finish line
To stop's a cruel intention
There's always a lot of love, relationship's what's missing
BLUE's my only guide
The only thing I ever work off
And I still got what got me here in case the bottom falls off
To me it's only yesterday
Life is but a dream and
I stop living years ago
BLUE is all I see
And I'm walking with an angry stick
Beating at the ground
And the words I never got to say
Dance over the sounds
CHORUS:
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
VERSE 2:
Bigger house
Bigger squad
Bigger rims on the car
Some eat to survive without hunger you starve
In the streets cause we lost
Forgotten by the gods
Both hands in the air when we reach for the stars
We grip for the sky cause nothing down here for us
Or at least our piece of the world is all garbage
And no one gives porridge
Cold or hot
We eat everyday and for that gold we lock,
load, aim, and steady
Shooting for the top
You got yours already
But you aint tryna stop
Its not about the problems those we got plenty
Its about the hours
15 for pennies
Working is silly cause we just getting by
Stressed out cause rent's due and we a few hundred shy
All we need is one week they won't give us no time
And it's a crowded ass room, we at the end of the line
But you at home chilling
Plasma screening it out
Got cha basement remodeled theatre in the house
They got your office up front and they got us in the back
You got the weekends off, we aint never heard of that
CHORUS:
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)
I'm always on the run
(On the run)
So I just leave my shoes on
(I just leave me shoes on)
When I'm tryna touch the sky
(touch the sky)
I just take the roof off
(I just take the roof off)

On My Own
04:12

CHORUS:
Said she wanna see the city
Said she wanna see the world
Said she looking for a man now
Well I ain't looking for a girl
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
VERSE 1:
Singing Maya Angelo
Shorty pumps her fist up
Smoking the constitution
I open with the lean and the sista girl
We gotta scheme we can change the world
Smile like a string of pearls
She would whistle for dixy
I never said a word
Cause that was back when Angie would diss me
Flinging game on 3rd
National Geographic, we was tryna cage all birds
Picking locks, trained heavy with the skill set
Never go a sunset where I forget my heritage
Letting time fly but only like an ostrich
This hell that we living we dream with our eyes open
Sliding on the battlefield risking explosions
Restaurant table, waitress sleeping on my entere
Got me all hazy
Stiff in a crazy rage
Wanna bag the chick but that was in my younger days
Darling whats the problem?
CHORUS:
Said she wanna see the city
Said she wanna see the world
Said she looking for a man now
Well I ain't looking for a girl
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
VERSE 2:
Sunday I was sleeping
I ain't even touch the floor yet
Woke up to you texting asking questions how my show went
I reply its great
Tell you everything was perfect
But that's before you saw the pics
You hit me right back asking do I think you're dumb
I reply confuse face where's this coming from
You decide to call
Putting words to your frustrations
Not feeling like me girl and if you're not then we should change it
I tell you that I love you
But that don't make a difference
Cause you're too busy knowing me to even try to listen
I say they only fans
I'm only showing love
You know I'm a band
That's what a performer does
But my explanation, didn't make no sense to you
It's not about what happened it's about the looks to you
An argument erupts
You tell me you don't need this
I go back to sleep hoping maybe I was dreaming
CHORUS:
Said she wanna see the city
Said she wanna see the world
Said she looking for a man now
Well I ain't looking for a girl
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
BRIDGE:
I can't do it babe
I can't do it
I can't do it babe
I just can't do it babe
I can't do it babe
I can't do it
I can't do it babe
I can't do it babe
I just can't do it babe
CHORUS:
Said she wanna see the city
Said she wanna see the world
Said she looking for a man now
Well I ain't looking for a girl
No no no
I'd rather be on my own
No no no
I'd rather be on my own

About You
03:38

CHORUS:
Thinking bout you
But while I'm thinking bout you
You're not thinking bout me
But I'm still thinking bout you
But while I'm thinking bout you
You're not thinking bout me
VERSE 1:
She said me being a writer made me harder to love
And my actions made me harder to trust
I told her that was a lie
With you it's always on the inside
Always paying me back for some other guys
Mistakes
With that our relationship breaks
We parted ways stepping over the glass
Shed tears for what we used to have
In the end its always you and that pad
Love was never competition
Wipes her face with the side of her sleeve
"Did you ever have space in your room for me?"
I tell her she's my wings
Without wings can a bird be free?
Pain was in her eyes as she turns to leave
In comes a breeze
Her hair kisses me on my cheek
Playing strong but my knees get weak
Wanted to beg her to stay
With my music nothing gets in the way
Broken hearted
The breeze swept the pieces away
CHORUS:
Thinking bout you
But while I'm thinking bout you
You're not thinking bout me
But I'm still thinking bout you
But while I'm thinking bout you
You're not thinking bout me
VERSE 2:
Standing in her sight her vision forever searching
As if a good time comes often
I tell her honestly
"BLUE is something you can trust"
She siad "Trust from the heart is costly"
And being let down left scars on her soul and arms
That she swore before the lord she would never add to
Last dude
Gave me barbed wire to cut through
To get to her broken parts
Wanted to fix her heart
The glass only cut up my hands
I'd wear a glove but the feelings were gone
As the time clicked her face dripped a face full of tears
I reached out pushed her hair to the back of her ears
She was cold
Cause her day had an absent sun
So her chill would show up in more ways than one
We breaking bread at the table at the end of the month
But she's stingy with her pennies Mrs Scrooge McDuck
CHORUS:
Thinking bout you
But while I'm thinking bout you
You're not thinking bout me
But I'm still thinking bout you
But while I'm thinking bout you
You're not thinking bout me
VERSE 3:
So I grabbed her close
And and stroked her hair
Said everything could disappear you only needs me here
Felt her shiver
As words got delivered
Tears in her eyes when she asked me to forgive her
For doubting what we stood for
The us of our dreams
She been living with me for years the man of her dreams
But its too good to be true
She like "Look BLUE I need you
What my friend's say is ok
But I'm grown boy I speak too
So if I choose to work through
Hold onto the things that we built up
I expect you to wanna do the same if I meant something to you"
But its whatever
Girl I'll stay
If you forgive me
