People Call Me Blu(e)

[Chorus]
People call me (Blue!)
People-ple call, people call me (Blue!)
That’s how it is when I'm bustin' up a party
People call me (Blue)
MC am I- people call me (Blue!)
People call, people call-call me (Blue!)
Tha-tha-tha-tha-that's how it is
People, people ca-call me (Blue!)

[Verse 1]
Uh, ayo, everybody wanna make a classic
I just kick back and make something casual
Everyday shit, I don't gotta take this
All on my actual zone, I just say something natural
Blue is thе color of the sky today
And mostly every day whеn you live in LA
The problem is the smog will make this city turn grey
And we all know that ain't good but still we all stay
And wait for the ocean breeze to blow it all away
And then we light up and smoke the same freakin' day
And we do that all week and every week the same
'Til the months and the years start to wear on your brain
Aware I gotta change aim for a higher plain
Easy when the definition is your freaking name
As you can see, I don't need a lot of space
So I give you the night, and I take up all the day
My name is Blu!

[Chorus]
People call me (Blue!)
People-ple call, people call me (Blue!)
That’s how it is when I'm bustin' up a party
People call me (Blue)
MC am I- people call me (Blue!)
People call, people call-call me (Blue!)
Tha-tha-tha-tha-that's how it is
People, people ca-call me (Blue!)

[Verse 2]
Uh, everybody wanna be a rapper (Err)
I just got up on them tracks and I rapped
Kick some live shit, let you know I'm not your
Average ass MC, I'm real, I don't act
Facts spill off of my mental to the pencil or utensil
That I use to write down the lyrics that get in you
When you listen and soak up
The gems I be dropping off the top since I woke up
It's knowledge I be lodgin', I be loungin'
You know, smoking dro, riding with my feet up
A cab takes me to the studio to lay this feature
Where I speak up on the blues of my life
And bruise the mic like a beater
Told the engineer, "Turn the beat up"
"B-L never fell even when I fell", said the teacher
I said, "You ain’t the teacher, Chris One is the teacher"
Knowledge, I’ll receive you through your speakers
Rhymes walk on water but I ain’t Jesus
I am Blu!

[Chorus]
People call me (Blue!)
People-ple call, people call me (Blue!)
People call me when I'm bustin' up a party
People call me (Blue)
MC am I- people call me (Blue!)
People call, people call-call me (Blue!)
Tha-tha-tha-that's how it is
People, people ca-call me (Blue!)

[Verse 3]
Everybody wanna be like Blu now
Since I blew up and you seen me move up
Seen tryna move up on me and get blew down
Show up to my show and get chewed up, and blew out
I’m blued up, down to my Chucks with the tool out
Blue steel if I choose to kill you out the picture
Tryna take my crew out the mixture
Is like when the whites left the blacks out the histo-
-ry books stealing all that glory but we crooks?
Like stealing all the limelight with weak hooks
Anybody a G cooks pushes a bang, pimp players with game
Macs, gangsters and gangs all heard of the name
Big Blu rip crews out the frame
Fixed too, pockets change, I flipped the rules
I came, I saw, I conquered
The game's layin' monster with a moniker
I am Blu!

[Chorus]
People call me (Blue!)
People-ple call, people call me (Blue!)
People call me when I'm bustin' up a party
People call me (Blue)
MC am I- people call me (Blue!)
People call, people call-call me (Blue!)
Tha-tha-tha-that's how it is
People, people ca-call me (Blue!)

[Outro]
Thing was blue, uh
B-L-U, uh
D-S crew, uh
And Exile! (Wow!)
