Blue by Theycallmereggie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
James Brown
The hardest working man alive (Live)
To leave a legacy
Tell me what that price is like
Will I leave one 'fore my time?
Been working hard
Tell me has anyone died from the grind? (Grind)
There's this thing up in my chest
A passion burning bright
Ain't tryna take the city by storm
Just uphold some light
Withhold the constant lie
That I got this far on my own
My smartrip handy
Riding on the K6 with my woes
The biggest foe of mine I'm guessing
Is my own reflection
Cause I at times get in the way
Of my assured blessings
Things ain't connecting
Less I plug into a greater source
Gotta stay rooted
Pursuing some time to meet my Lord
I concord, I can't afford
To waste my time as much
As when I did, when just a kid
What I know now can't hush
Or rush my actions
Put to practice what I'm always told
No great possession
Or obsession is worth my soul
Oh no
Oh no
[Hook]
Big smile still on my face
After everything we been through
Sun is shining
So tell me why then
I feel so
Blue
Tell me why then
I feel so
Blue
[Verse 2]
I'm a rapper now
Done a couple shows
They wanna do collabs
I don't know what this career path holds
I speak my piece and bounce
Making moves and always on the road
Guess if this rap game would have me
This path ain't in my control
Gotta duke it out
Fighting 'gainst some demons on the low
Lust is truly driven
On the things that latch onto your soul
Need an intervention
Get these habits back under control
At a loss if you don't expose
The things that's taking focus
Hopeless
Seem to be all bougie with my nose up
Family falling apart do I even notice
Got a cousin that's struggling
With her self-esteem
Been so busy can't go see
Family that's up the street
Probably
Cause my momma's death
Keeps on lingering
The glue that kept us together
Now not effective
I'm tryna keep us together
My mother & my father side
Been trying for some time
I'm enduring til things turn around
[Hook]
Big smile on my face
After everything we been through
Sun is shining
So tell me why then
I still feel
Blue
Tell me why then
I still feel
Blue
[Verse 3]
Tryna turn a cold shoulder
Ain't in my makeup
People tend to give you shots
To see exactly what you made of
Never prayed to have a rap career
But you can thank my maker
Just as I have
I'm on this path
Tryna show others the way up
They won't step foot in the church
I'll bring the church to them
Tryna show grace to the folks
That feel they life condemned
The devil showed his ugly face
Back when my momma dem
Passed away but now I'm safe
I found my Guardian Angel
It's safe to say that life attacks at many angles
But I know now that God won't give you
What you cannot handle
If you would have it He bandages
All the damage that you
Faced throughout your young years
Come to wipe away tears
You've cried
Your drive
Might have died inside
He can awaken
The things you cherish
Embedded inside your DNA too
Is a life with purpose
Brings blessing upon what once was cursed
No matter how many lines rehearsed
You can't stop what you were destined to do
[Hook]
Smile on my face
After everything we been through
Sun is shining
But I know why
Things appear so
Blue
There's a silver lining
Between what's shining
And what's so gloom
I now know why
Things appear so
Blue
[Outro]
(distorted)
Smile on my face
After everything we been through
Sun is shining
But I know why
Things appear so
Blue
There's a silver lining
Between what's shining
And what's so gloom
I now know why
Things appear so
