Shades of Blue
Color of morning pee coming out of the sink
It's 2016 who would think
Kids in america don't have clean water to drink
Like they cut the ebt took 'em off of the link
I read a story about a woman with her daughter in flint
She got lead poisoning from showers in the morning
When the governor switched out the pipes to bring the water in
To the city river cause he said they can't afford to get clean water
So now the poor people get the shorter end
Of the stick ain't that some bull*******t
Shorty thirsty he just bought his fourth fifth
It's lead in the water gun he dying from a full clip
Now you've got toddlers drinking toxic waste
While the people responsible still ain't caught no case
I don't get it man I just ain't wit it man
They got damn daniel distracting you on instagram
Back again with the all-white media coverage
They do it over and over like remedial subjects
The people with the least always gotta pay the most
We the first to go when they deleting them budgets
Can a ***** get his basic human rights
Is that too much to ask should I say it more polite
And everybody broke so we in the same boat
But would they let that ******* sink if we was white
It got me shades of blue
Rain or *******ne it's all blue it's all blue
Ain't no sun it's all blue it's all blue
Purple haze in a daze it's all blue it's all blue
Change gon' come it's all you it's all on you
It's all blue all blue
It's all blue all blue
The skies stay gray around my way around my way
Waking up to the morning sun in detroit
I'll be with the people when they come for the boy
Everybody tryna be american idols
My x-factor is I'm the only one with the voice
It's bigger than us these kids listen to us
That's why I give 'em that truth cause they don't get it enough
We making ******* and hoes out our women too much
We can't trust ourselves and we don't know who to trust
It ain't enough for police to wear body cams
Cause *****s still gettin' tazed and body slammed
And cigarettes'll kill you on their own
But they'll kill you for a cigarette I honor eric garner fam'
I'm a part of him he a part of me
I'm a prodigy in these prada jeans
I'm tryna' make my partners a part of the election
So you ain't gotta presidential pardon me
And pardon me but why is it that the darker must suffer
How do we protect the culture from the vultures
There's a cold war every summer in the chi
It's a snowball effect from the cold war in russia
But vladimir putin ain't in the hood recruitin'
And derrick rose ain't the only one out here shootin'
They set fire to their own squad cars
And a ******* on the news gon' blame it on the lootin'
Now here I am talking 'bout a revolution
And I can't even spare a dollar to the movement
But I'm in the strip club spending dollars on that movement
I guess we all got room for improvement
Rain or *******ne it's all blue it's all blue
Ain't no sun it's all blue it's all blue
Purple haze in a daze it's all blue it's all blue
Change gon' come it's all you it's all on you
