You Ain't Never Been Blue

(samples)
Seems like dreams like Ive always had
Could be, should be
Making me glad
Why am I blue?
Its up to you to explain
Blue
'Whats your favorite color?' 'Pink!' (Its up to you)
'Whats your second favorite color?' (Its up to blue, Its up to blue)
'Darker pink!'
'Whats your third favorite color?' (Its up to blue)
'Green!' (Its up to blue)
'Whats your fourth favorite color? (Its up to you to explain)
' Blue'
(You aint never been blue)
Like if you grew up on Dre and had to move out to LA
Or its your 29th birthday and you aint 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 cant get no bread for it (You aint never been blue)
You got ate up in a battle, your girlfriend say she dont like you
You wish it wasnt your gender, your ethnicity doesnt fit you
You dont 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 dont like you
You had a fight with your rival and lost the championship fight
You couldnt walk at graduation though youtried hard to make it
But everybody dont make it man (You aint 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 aint never been caught with pounds
You aint never been in the pen without someone to hold you down
You aint never been down and out without a dollar for food
Yall dont know what Im talking about, yall dont know nothing bout the blues
Sleeping next to cockroaches, eating out of garbage cans
You aint never been no man, man (You aint never been blue)
You aint never been blue
You aint never been blue
You aint never been blue
You aint never been blue
You aint never been staked out by cops with guns drawn
Pointed to your dome, your boy runs and hes 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 whos needy with no food and no TV?
You should get a job for this, get your food cause I rob for this'
Moms stealing food in a purse, you aint never been this, I promise this
Blue like John, no lights on
No bills paid, no food from Vaughan
13 with the flow with my Chuck Taylors on
Listen to the song cause (You aint never been blue)
You aint 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 aint blue
You, you aint blue
You aint never been blue
The illest rapper rapping that aint gold and aint platinum
Cause I aint sell my soul for some cracker or mansion, see
Just because Im rapping, dont mean that Im stacking
Yall dont wanna see me back up in this *****, 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 cant pay the rent
Cause your money is spent (You aint never been blue)
Blue like my eyes be with gold in the middle
Kinda like my outer and my inner, thats the riddle
Big blue soul, you aint even have a little
Put your hand out, Ill give you my favorite color of skittle
Itll 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 doesnt stay in balance , yin and yang
We can sit and run away, paint the town red like the blue when you close the page
