Use These Blues

Lyrics

[Hook: Eamon] See I've been getting high From dealing with the lows Every time I get by Another door close It's like I love it when I lose So come with me and use these blues So even though I try Straighten up and fly Seeing momma's tears come down her eyes It's like I love it when I lose So come with me and use these blues [Verse 1: A-F-R-O] Ayo, now I remember When all of the hardest problems caught up in my noggin Washed up, unconscious Heart stoppin' nausea Walking farther in the ocean with a hopeless feelin', reelin' in the proper motion sickness The soul is gifted but the mind plays the puppeteer Something fierce, the love in you is still eruptin' tears Punching walls, yelling at ya moms for shit you did The love you abused, and your mood switch The hatred and hopelessness you feel is a play on your mind The love around you is real The brothers are out to build with you, mothers are out to heal with you Others are down to kill you, but you gotta figure this You tell yourself it ain't worth it, but it is I wanna see the smile on your face when you live your days It's a phase, you're a diamond in the rough You're alive to touch people, dying isn't justice [Hook: Eamon] See I've been getting high From dealing with the lows Every time I get by Another door close It's like I love it when I lose So come with me and use these blues So even though I try Straighten up and fly Seeing momma's tears come down her eyes It's like I love it when I lose So come with me and use these blues [Verse 2: A-F-R-O] The thing about rock-bottom, there's no room to sink lower Instead of thinking back, please think forward Reach for a shoulder and fiend for your quota A real human being'll see you need closure You gotta remember to tell yourself you're worth it The serpent in your mind doesn't like you as a person It seeks out to hurt ya, yeah it's always with ya And I know that it's a bitch to live through But you don't recognize the people in your life, trying to teach you to strive The tears in their eyes When you'll be falling in weak demise and the hurt is so deep inside of you Blinking and thinking "Why am I even being alive?" And "Why try to be the guy who finds beauty in life blind?" My brothers and my sisters learn the lesson If you're hopeless, just remember you're a blessing to your loved ones Peace [Hook: Eamon] See I've been getting high Dealing with the lows Every time I get by Another door close It's like I love it when I lose So come with me and use these blues So even though I try Straighten up and fly Seeing momma's tears come down her eyes It's like I love it when I lose So come with me and use these blues
