You Ain’t Never Been Blu(e)

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] Uh, fuck what you going through Look at what third worlds be going through Donald Trump is Agent Orange and you still buying orange juice Foreign groups jacking planes, attacking The Pentagon with little bombs And you think you the man with your little arms People dying all over It's a war going on in the promised land and we still tryna get over Segregation, police brutality, equal rights Separate then arm up your families and learn to fight Cause you ain't never been in war, you don't know what's going on You at home relaxed, smoking weed, watching porn But early in the morn' is the corporate slave Slaving for a higher wage than people who do not behave Ain't got a diploma or degree and you see What it did to your future when you just wanted to emcee You got bums on the street, long lines for unemployment People getting paid to leave, more people exploited And if you ever see cigarettes or beef, avoid it Cause you don't wanna see that face of cancer when that boy hit Boy it get ugly, people dying up in custody All beat up and bloody cause they didn't have no money To fight for a case anyway, shit could happen any day People die, many go, many stay But hey, what can you say? It's a brand new day Long as you ain't in hell, you should tell yourself that [Chorus] You ain't never been blue (Bam) You ain't never been blue (Yeah, trip on that) You ain't never been blue (Realize the facts) You ain't never been blue [Verse 2] Ayo, picture me all successful, acting like I can't help folks Acting like they not special cause they all hella broke You either nine-to-five-in', or you successful and you striving Everybody else is either dying or crying You ain't never been hella poor or hella rich So you sit at your desk feeling blessed for what you get Which is pleasant if you sit at a desk, people stressing Cause they can't get a check, what you think happens next? Get a brick or a mask or a gun and you run From the law while you sell to the bums, what a scum Killing people is illegal but it's feasible So they sell to the slums all the drugs to appease you To ease your stress when some people just think about death When they know nothing's left, what's left? Put your fear on your shelf, bust your ass for a pass To live life past your twenties unlike folks who die fast Paul Walker died in a car crash Michael Brown got shot by a cop, and the block is still hot Black men afraid to get stopped, pulled over for nothing and popped Cause they skin color has a different pigment Pig men picking on the poor for they pension Leave the families torn, no conviction, friction Builds higher skyscraper buildings in the slums And in the night, you can hear all the bums sing and hum saying [Outro] You ain't never been blue (Bam) You ain't never been blue (Trip on that) You ain't never been blue
