I wrote “Blue Scarf” around age 11. Not on paper, not in my notes, but in my mind. This song, the third one off of the first part of my double project “SHY BOY”, describes my young feelings of rejection. I grew up in Paris. I went to private schools, where white kids dominated the demographi...
[Verse 1]
Half white, why don’t people like me?
Where the others like me that supposed to support me?
Bowled haircut, belly’s buff
No soccer, so I’m a sucker
Beaver cheeks will never pull chicks
Bad in class he won’t ever be shit
Shy boy he’s more of a girl
“My daddy said one of them took his work
Yeah he a tourist, yeah he so lazy
Yeah he a failed bitch, yeah I think he crazy”
[Pre Chorus]
I might just stay away
I might just fade away
Open a door, scratch on my face
[Chorus]
Hang on to my blue scarf
Hang on to my blue scarf
Hang on from my blue scarf
[Verse 2]
Can’t do this I’m too nerdy
Can’t do that I’m too geeky
Yo you got it so easy, why can’t I be white and pretty?
Wanted skin white and eyes green
How come I’m a dark machine?
Then y’all wonder why I wandered near a blue scarf
What to do when you nothing but a bad scar?
You surprised that I wanted out from the car
You surprised you made me wanna go that far
You lucky I wasn’t clever enough to go that far
[Pre Chorus]
I might just fade away
I might just fade away
Open a door, scratch on my face
[Chorus]
Hang on to my blue scarf
Hang on to my blue scarf
Hang on to my blue scarf
And hang on from my blue scar
[Verse 3]
Blue scarf, no friends
Blue scarf, the trend
Nothing to do, nothing to lose
Wrist all cut loose, why not me too?
Blue scarf no end
Blue scarf God sent
Wanting to do, wanting to win
All I need is you, wanting to fend
Love, time and death our common peers
Whom we’ve never known to fear or cheer
Confrontation makes our heart tear
Joy or pain?
Imprisoned or free?
