Lyrics SINGING THE BLUES - Taylor Bennett, Femdot

SINGING THE BLUES

What do you do when you realize
Your best friend’s family do not share the same views?
It seems like often we be talking but we arguing too
If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused
Know for you, this bad news
We just singin' the blues
When you realize your best friend’s family
Do not share the same views
Seems like often we be talking but we arguing too
If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused
Know for you, this bad news
We just singin' the blues
I just wanna be the one in the fam' to make a milly first
Not off of a Milly verse
I’m thinking about the universe
Another nigga in the inner city tryna make a living
Cops tryna frisk 'cause they make commissions
Crooked politicians tryna push a lock up out of visions
I know all decisions, don’t you argue with me
If you a Trump supporter, how you talkin' to me?
How you arguin' with me, tryna bargain with me?
And it ain’t in my traits to be a traitor
But you treadin' slim water if you think you can barter with me
Nah
Chicago niggas dyin' every day in every way
How you think the guns got in our city?
I wake up instantly innocence leavin' me
I’m who believed to be
I just pretend who I tend to be
My halo matching your MAGA hat energy
How could we both have no sympathy?
Damn!
And life ain’t easy for me either
I mean, to be honest
Don’t know why you have such a problem with what Donald does
My mom says he wants to make everything better for all of us
He work hard just like my father
And you talk so much about violence
Like, it’s not funny
You.
I mean you talk about shooters all the time
Get so happy when I sing Keef songs with you
I mean what do you need me to prove?
That I really ain’t evil, dude?
What you mean, we got on the same Yeezy’s too
What’s different from what we gon' do and what he gon' do?
We was friends before so what I mean to you?
And I mean to you
This all nonsense, and I got it, but that’s not it
This mean promise, means more jobs, more growth, more hope
You know that hope that we never really got under Obama?
Said I wasn’t racist when we did group projects
When my mom brought the stuff to the apartment
But since we can’t agree to disagree
And you can’t see what I see
Now, man, it’s a problem
What do you do when you realize
Your best friend’s family do not share the same views?
It seems like often we be talking but we arguing too
If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused
Know for you, this bad news
We just singin' the blues
When you realize your best friend’s family
Do not share the same views
Seems like often we be talking but we arguing too
If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused
Know for you, this bad news
We just singin' the blues
