Blue Collar Baby by Joseph Allen Lyrics
(Gotta get it right now, right now)
Ayy-
I'm a blue collar baby
So my hands get dirty
And I gotta work hard
So my fam don't worry
Got a rifle under bed
So I sleep securely
Protecting all my dreams
So my vision don't get blurry
And I be back at it early in the morning
I could've been anything that I wanted
And I decided ima be the one to put on for my family
Don't expect for you to get it, all the real ones understand me
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta make em all proud, (right now, right now)
Gotta make em all proud, (right now, right now)
Hit my momma's block
Cuz I don't see her a lot, ay-
Just to tell her I'm giving it everything I got
She said now that I got you here at the spot
Now that people know your name
Is it different than you thought it'd be?
Well, honestly
This is where I oughta be
I'm building with my hands
But your son ain't doing pottery
And then I hand the bands
And it's like she hit the lottery
Cause now that I'm a man
Mama, this is how it's gotta be
Slow down, son
Please don't run
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
So sorry
I have to go
Cause we know money don't grow
On trees
But it grows on me
When I'm focusing
On what I have to do
To provide for you
Ayy-
I'm a blue collar baby
So my hands get dirty
And I gotta work hard
So my fam don't worry
Got a rifle under bed
So I sleep securely
Protecting all my dreams
So my vision don't get blurry
And I be back at it early in the morning
I could've been anything that I wanted
And I decided ima be the one to put on for my family
Don't expect for you to get it, all the real ones understand me
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Make em all proud, (right now, right now)
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Pops hit me up and he said he need some help right now
He told me that the car broke down
Run across the rack if he wanna get that gold car back
And that's not including tax
He hittin' up my phone
Cuz' he know that his son don't slack
And you know that I got it, that's facts
Got 10 in a safe, and I wanna keep him safe
So I told him, "Bout' 30 and I'll be on my way"
Hold on
And I don't want you to worry no more
I want you to live a life that's normal
I got the ball
And I'm [?]
Got my family on my back
So I cannot fumble
Watch how I step
So I never stumble
Watch what I say
Gotta keep it humble
(Silence)
Sometimes I stay quiet so there's things you don't know
Blue Collar Baby
So my hands get dirty
And I gotta work hard
So my fam don't worry
Got a rifle under bed
So I sleep securely
Protecting all my dreams
So my vision don't get blurry
And I be back at it early in the morning
I could've been anything that I wanted
And I decided ima be the one to put on for my family
Don't expect for you to get it, all the real ones understand me
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta make em all proud, (right now, right now)
Gotta make em all proud, (right now, right now)
(Get it right now)
Ayy-
I'm a blue collar baby
So my hands get dirty
And I gotta work hard
So my fam don't worry
Got a rifle under bed

So my vision don't get blurry
And I be back at it early in the morning
I could've been anything that I wanted
And I decided ima be the one to put on for my family
Don't expect for you to get it, all the real ones understand me
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta get it right now, (right now, right now)
Gotta make em all proud, (right now, right now)
Gotta make em all proud, (right now, right now)
