| «If it ain’t red then it must be blue»
|
| «No matter where I go, or how far I roam»
|
| «Blue, baby, just like yourself»
|
| «Exile and B-L»
|
| The Los Angeles city skyline is like a photograph of my mind
|
| I could feel the sea’s breeze every time that I rhyme
|
| Cool guy, coulda played trumpet in a suit and tie
|
| Barbers couldn’t cut us, move a line so it’s U-N-I-versal
|
| First song I ever recorded
|
| Felt important, I had to paint my portrait enormous
|
| Clouds forming, the sun falls and darkness rises
|
| Yo it’s like this every time I close my eyelids
|
| Bro I grew up in the city of violence, was known for the riots
|
| And now that I’m grown, I stay blown all alone
|
| Was thinking bout those who didn’t make it
|
| In my zone dreaming bout how far we could take it
|
| From the basement, I never been one to run from
|
| Guns sung every night where I come from, the blood runs (B-L)
|
| Never fail, you can tell hell
|
| I would never sell out, even if I’m on sale, retail
|
| Presales, you can see God in the details
|
| Midnight Blue, Kenny Burrell shocked the world like the law got
|
| Caught in the third rail, burn Ls
|
| Thinkin bout my daughter’s future walking outta jail, so thorough
|
| Even as a kid, I wanted to be big
|
| Like Jigga, «Can I Live?,» ten siblings need a crib
|
| Like the ones on Cribs, niggas facing long bids
|
| Tryna make it where I live, real talk it’s common sense, I’m
|
| «I am the nappy kid from Cali
|
| «Every time I see you it’s like the first time I meet you»
|
| «The nappy kid from Cali»
|
| «You ain’t me»
|
| «A never-ending saga when I rap to these beats»
|
| «I got my props off the rhymes that I invented
|
| 'Cause I spoke my mind and I meant it»
|
| «Exile and B-L»
|
| I fell onto the planet, knowledge, born building understanding
|
| Dropping poems on the illest canvas
|
| South Central, Los Angeles, where niggas hold pistols and start scandals
|
| I picked up a pencil and wrote anthems, my city mold champions
|
| Talent show battling, managing life challenging
|
| And I would write traveling unraveling thoughts
|
| Pass the mic before I pass you the blunt
|
| Smash the stage then I pass up the cost, acting a fool
|
| Rapping was cool, sorta something we could actually do
|
| Mastered my views, get my cash stacking after my dues
|
| Classic tunes, platinum plaques back-to-back with my crew
|
| Black and blue, back to rocking black on black at the show
|
| Pack up the show, black the block, we gotta block out the news
|
| Blackout at shows, no Glock, black proud and I’m Blu
|
| I used to sing James Brown, I used to talk through towns
|
| Tearing down egos, rocking gold, wearing a crown
|
| Airing our style, all hail to the king, hair grew out wild long time ago
|
| Ten years exactly, where are they now?
|
| I’ve been B-L, back when they was clapping at fools
|
| After school for acting cool, I just had a backpack full of raps
|
| Avenue Blu is finna battle you spit
|
| 45 Calliber, raps that’ll dismantle you, my album’s done, I’m back
|
| Told the homie, «Don't bang, just hang with me»
|
| Cribmania, the whole gang was me, it’s so gangsta to be
|
| «Blue,» «True blue when I bust»
|
| «I am» «B-L-U»
|
| «The cloud becomes black and the sky becomes blue»
|
| «Out of the blue, time for a new young king to rule:
|
| «But if I have to, I go all out with no mic»
|
| «I might be the color blue»
|
| «A new fresh rap»
|
| «Exile and B-L»
|
| Yeah, just when I thought I was blanking out, I blanked out
|
| Back in the day, I used to dream about banking out, and I’m banked out
|
| With change, change
|
| Make cent, pay dues now pay rent
|
| Same shoes I work in, I church in
|
| Service, the shirt fits, the roof over my head, the bed under my ass
|
| I hear rumbling, put my ear to the wall
|
| Nothing but jazz, grandad musta had that on blast, oh here they come again
|
| James Brown put eight drummers in his band
|
| The promoter put 200 in my hand, I’m a mad man
|
| Track under the rap just to match to the gas can
|
| Last dance, Miles Davis, Coltrane, Philly Joe
|
| Fuck that, brought it back, Max Roach
|
| Wack hoes got smoked quicker than the last roach
|
| Bad joke, we pack boats when black folks had a chance
|
| Fuck slavery, we build pyramids with a helping hand
|
| Made a classic with this rap shit, ain’t look back since
|
| Build a black fence around my mansion, I’m a black man
|
| Black hand, black fists clenched, activist
|
| Black Panther Party bigger pistol packing wrapping Christmas gifts
|
| I’m gifted rappin', if you can get it grabbing grams
|
| Grip it on another level take a stand
|
| Hate the hate and shake the salt
|
| Break the vault and quake the asphalt
|
| But I spark the bark until I’m retarded |
