letra de the blues (a richer shade) - jide

{part i: the blues}

[verse 1]
blessings i’m handed
but like $50 bills i take for granted
abusing all my talents
with the morals that i mismanage
i’m pandering to men who slander women and handle xanax how we got the blues, and we still missing all the clues?
(if that ain’t blues, i say listen)
step inside the mind
of a man with his music on the rise
you can see it in his eyes
didn’t notice the demise of the culture
not tryna insult ya with words
you surrounded by these benjamins
but you couldn’t save a d-mn penny that you earned
will you learn
that the money that we make
should insure that a future is secured for the kids
or will you gamble all your dollars
all my ballers place your bid
(now… if that ain’t blues, i say listen)
a rich shade of blue

[hook]
a rich shade of blue (x4)

[verse 2]
we use to have blues
all we got are blue faces
they gives us cases
can’t get a loan cause the bank teller racist
all this dang patience is making us complacent
tried to speak my mind, but i know it wouldn’t change
(if that ain’t blues, i say listen)
whatcha looking for my brotha?
whatcha looking for my sister?
i’m looking for some change, but it doesn’t make sense
they demonize the movement
try to circ-mvent
let me vent
tell them facts, and they still gon’ deny it
everybody hate math, but the people stay divided
but biggest stick talk
give a future to the kids
i don’t give a dam
give my baby back a rib n-gg-
(now… if that ain’t blues, i say listen)

{part ii: a richer shade}

[hook]
i need a rich shade of… rich shade of… rich shade of… (x8)
rich shade of blue

[bridge]
mom work night and day
dad work night and day
no financial aid
will tuition get paid?
on loans i pray (i pray)
them blue faces ooouuu
not accustomed too
lord what should i do?
can they wash sins away?
on loans i pray (i pray)

[verse 1]
i’m a born sinner
i’m a born sinner
never been a winner
lord please will ya
give me reason why
seun had to die
mother had to die
grandma had to die
couldn’t even cry
couldn’t even grief
all i did was sit around in disbelief
anger in my soul
grinding on my teeth
everybody mourning
i don’t feel a thing
looking at myself
then i look away
looking at myself
then i look away
looking at myself
nothing on my face
you f-cking piece of sh-t
you should be ashamed
grab that f-cking knife
end your life today
with your hands that are idle
never suicidal
but i’m f-cking liable
end it all
put it on the f-ckin bible
that’s why i know i ain’t sh-t
never been sh-t
never done sh-t
n-gg- you a b-tch
you should’ve been the one that got k!lled
of everyone i know, you should get spilled
why do you live?
what you got to give?
own mother calls you selfish
if you changed now
could you make a switch?
stop f-cking lying
can’t change sh-t
you’re a f-cking waste
with a bootleg mixtape
tryna beat drake
j. cole, kendrick
all my enemies
put the pressure that i’m feeling k!lling me
i’m a inch away from h-ll
mile away from heaven
father recognize my presence
i’ve been counting blessings
just give them back
holding onto you
i need a rich shade of

[hook]
i need a rich shade of… rich shade of… rich shade of… (x8)
rich shade of blue
rich shade
