Black & Blu

I can't always be black and blue
Gonna have to know babe, what you really want to do
I can't listen to what they say
Got to make my own way, cause I got my own stakes
And I need my own place on this ethereal plane no place for games I got serious things to say my man, I just
Needed some time to tie loose ends and find out where I begin
I do a little for the praise
But mostly for the pain
Mostly for that hole inside my soul that needs to see the light again
I do a little for my friends
The ones that know the lane
The ones that been driving so long they seem to be inside a maze

But it's amazing, when you do what you want
Affirm yourself yeah
Know who you are
Know where you're going
Remember where you're coming from x2

Though girl in a rough world where the thugs hurl
When the money call anybody on the streets skrrr
Ooh but y'all be broken broken broken. x2
Though girl in a rough world where the rich hurl
When the money call anybody on the block skrrr
Ooh but y'all be broken broken broken. x2

Broken and hoping that money can consult your heart
And a new car will help you get her
Or maybe less hurt
Or maybe even heard
Get respect on your turf
You get a bunch of followers
I find all that shit absurd
I wanna stop all the hurt
I wanna battle the curse
Heal the divide with my words
I'll find in time how it works
And Ooh bitches, when I do I'm coming for you with the loving that you're poor soul has been missing

But it's amazing, when you do what you want
Affirm yourself yeah
Know who you are
Know where you're going
Remember where you're coming from x2
