A-F-R-O, Eamon - Use These Blues lyrics

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


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

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


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

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
