Lyrics

[Intro: Maya Angelou & E.D.I. Mean] The blues may be the life you've led Or midnight hours in an empty bed But persecuting blues I've known Could stalk like tigers and break like bone Pend like rope in a gallows tree Make me curse my pedigree Bitterness thick on a wrankling tongue Psalms to love, left unsung Rivers heading north, but ending south Funeral music and the going-home mouth All riddles are blues, and all blues are sand (Okay let's talk about it then) And I'm just talking bout some blues I've had [Verse: E.D.I. Mean] Started as a hobby me and Kash and Kadafi Never knew where it would take me, man the journey tried to break me But the truth is, it made me, I'm a made nigga baby Despite the ups and downs, stayed down 'til it [?] Kush dreams and fiends led to rings on my finger Gold round my neck, my hands on my balls I ain't tell 'em, I showed 'em that everywhere he goin' they know Fake niggas tried to boom but he knowin' Picture me growin', take a leap of faith and started flyin' Had to do it, 'cause I got tired of tryin' Lost love, 'cause I chose to love me Instead of the nigga that they was wantin' me to be Mental incarceration, yeah I had to trade places Now I fly freely, on a frequent basis Streets to the stage, page after page Only thing I'm chasin' is greatness, and mo' paper, haters [Chorus: E.D.I. Mean] It was all a dream (A change has come to our lives) What a journey it's been (I'm not sayin' it's wrong) I can't complain at all Hell nah (Reached the void where we have to decide) It ain't over though (If we should go on) [Verse 2: E.D.I. Mean] My nigga Nobe' been' solid, he never switched up Stood strong and long, when niggas bitched up Fatal wouldn't even have a headstone Y'all speakin' down on his name, you know you dead wrong Slander and propaganda, can't bait a nigga I'm stuck on code, look that's why they hate a nigga I let 'em tell it how they want to, then keep on doin' what I want to A grown man, who you talkin' to Walkin' through life, unafraid, only a slave to the rhytm And I keep on gettin' paid, with this game I was given' Another year around the sun, thankful to be livin' Yeah, I keep on gettin' it done, never runnin' from my flaws Fuck the critics and applauds, I just do it for my dogs And everybody who need it, I just do it for the love They feel it, so they believe it, blessed by Black Jesus Y'all don't hear me though [Chorus: E.D.I. Mean] O4L(A change has come to our lives) One time for the real ones that stayed down with us(I'm not sayin' it's wrong) Couple decades in this shit(Reached the void where we have to decide) Ain't over(If we should go on)
