Shades Of Blue - Vic Mensa[00:00:00]
Written by:Victor Mensah/Alex "Papi Beatz" Baez/Darian Garcia/Carter Lang[00:00:01]
Color of morning pee coming out of the sink[00:00:39]
It's 2016 who would think[00:00:41]
Kids in america don't have clean water to drink[00:00:44]
Like they cut the ebt took 'em off of the link[00:00:47]
I read a story about a woman with her daughter in flint[00:00:49]
She got lead poisoning from showers in the morning[00:00:51]
When the governor switched out the pipes to bring the water in[00:00:54]
To the city river cause he said they can't afford to get clean water[00:00:57]
So now the poor people get the shorter end[00:01:00]
Of the stick ain't that some bullshit[00:01:02]
Shorty thirsty he just bought his fourth fifth[00:01:04]
It's lead in the water gun he dying from a full clip[00:01:06]
Now you've got toddlers drinking toxic waste[00:01:09]
While the people responsible still ain't caught no case[00:01:12]
I don't get it man I just ain't wit it man[00:01:14]
They got damn daniel distracting you on instagram[00:01:16]
Back again with the all-white media coverage[00:01:19]
They do it over and over like remedial subjects[00:01:21]
The people with the least always gotta pay the most[00:01:24]
We the first to go when they deleting them budgets[00:01:26]
Can a ni**a get his basic human rights[00:01:29]
Is that too much to ask should I say it more polite[00:01:31]
And everybody broke so we in the same boat[00:01:34]
But would they let that b**ch sink if we was white[00:01:36]
It got me shades of blue[00:01:38]
Rain or shine it's all blue it's all blue[00:01:39]
Ain't no sun it's all blue it's all blue[00:01:44]
Purple haze in a daze it's all blue it's all blue[00:01:50]
Change gon' come it's all you it's all on you[00:01:54]
It's all blue all blue[00:02:00]
It's all blue all blue[00:02:04]
The skies stay gray around my way around my way[00:02:10]
Waking up to the morning sun in detroit[00:02:19]
I'll be with the people when they come for the boy[00:02:22]
Everybody tryna be american idols[00:02:24]
My x-factor is I'm the only one with the voice[00:02:27]
It's bigger than us these kids listen to us[00:02:29]
That's why I give 'em that truth cause they don't get it enough[00:02:32]
We making b**ches and hoes out our women too much[00:02:34]
We can't trust ourselves and we don't know who to trust[00:02:37]
It ain't enough for police to wear body cams[00:02:39]
Cause niggas still gettin' tazed and body slammed[00:02:42]
And cigarettes'll kill you on their own[00:02:44]
But they'll kill you for a cigarette I honor eric garner fam'[00:02:46]
I'm a part of him he a part of me[00:02:49]
I'm a prodigy in these prada jeans[00:02:52]
I'm tryna' make my partners a part of the election[00:02:54]
So you ain't gotta presidential pardon me[00:02:57]
And pardon me but why is it that the darker must suffer[00:02:59]
How do we protect the culture from the vultures[00:03:02]
There's a cold war every summer in the chi[00:03:05]
It's a snowball effect from the cold war in russia[00:03:07]
But vladimir putin ain't in the hood recruitin'[00:03:09]
And derrick rose ain't the only one out here shootin'[00:03:12]
They set fire to their own squad cars[00:03:15]
And a b**ch on the news gon' blame it on the lootin'[00:03:17]
Now here I am talking 'bout a revolution[00:03:20]
And I can't even spare a dollar to the movement[00:03:22]
But I'm in the strip club spending dollars on that movement[00:03:24]
I guess we all got room for improvement[00:03:27]
Rain or shine it's all blue it's all blue[00:03:30]
Ain't no sun it's all blue it's all blue[00:03:35]
Purple haze in a daze it's all blue it's all blue[00:03:40]
Change gon' come it's all you it's all on you[00:03:45]
