Blu - You Ain't Never Been Blu(e) lyrics

You ain't never been blue
You ain't never been blue
You ain't never been blue
You ain't never been blue
You ain't never been blue

Uh, fuck what you going through
Look at what third worlds be going through
Donald Trump is Agent Orange and
You still buying orange juice
Foreign groups jacking planes
Attacking The Pentagon with little bombs
And you think you the man
With your little arms people dying all over
It's a war going on in the promised
Land and we still tryna get over
Segregation, police brutality, equal rights
Separate then arm up your families
And learn to fight
Cause you ain't never been in war
You don't know what's going on
You at home relaxed, smoking weed
Watching porn
But early in the morn' is the corporate slave
Slaving for a higher wage than
People who do not behave
Ain't got a diploma or degree and you see
What it did to your future when
You just wanted to emcee
You got bums on the street
Long lines for unemployment
People getting paid to leave
More people exploited
And if you ever see cigarettes or beef
Avoid it cause you don't wanna see that face
Of cancer when that boy hit
Boy it get ugly, people dying up in custody
All beat up and bloody cause
They didn't have no money
To fight for a case anyway
Shit could happen any day
People die, many go, many stay
But hey what can you say?
It's a brand new day
Long as you ain't in hell
You should tell yourself that

You ain't never been blue (Bam)
You ain't never been blue
(yeah, trip on that)
You ain't never been blue (Realize the facts)
You ain't never been blue

Ayo, picture me all successful
Acting like I can't help folks
Acting like they not special cause
They all hella broke
You either nine-to-five-in'
Or you successful and you striving
Everybody else is either dying or crying
You ain't never been hella poor or hella rich
So you sit at your desk feeling
Blessed for what you get
Which is pleasant if you sit at a desk
People stressing
Cause they can't get a check
What you think happens next?
Get a brick or a mask or a gun and you run
From the law while you sell to the bums
What a scum
Killing people is illegal but it's feasible
So they sell to the slums all
The drugs to appease you
To ease your stress when some
People just think about death
When they know nothing's left, what's left?
Put your fear on your shelf
Bust your ass for a pass
To live life past your twenties
Unlike folks who die fast
Paul Walker died in a car crash
Michael Brown got shot by a cop
And the block is still hot
Black men afraid to get stopped
Pulled over for nothing and popped
Cause they skin color has a different pigment
Pig men picking on the poor for they pension
Leave the families torn, no conviction
Friction builds higher skyscraper buildings
In the slums and in the night
You can hear all the bums sing and hum saying

You ain't never been blue (Bam)
You ain't never been blue (Trip on that)
You ain't never been blue
