| [00:02.45] |
Woke up in the morning |
| [00:04.51] |
With a song of you on my mind |
| [00:06.87] |
Tried to sing your love away |
| [00:09.55] |
But the memories just stayed |
| [00:11.99] |
And if you care I'll never know and if |
| [00:15.23] |
It hurts I'll never show |
| [00:17.75] |
Sit down with the pain and hope |
| [00:20.26] |
It brings a better day |
| [00:22.11] |
And if the blues come running back |
| [00:27.74] |
I'll sing until they fade away |
| [00:33.28] |
She had 3 names maybe had 4 |
| [00:35.54] |
Hell if I know yo she probably had more |
| [00:38.20] |
Met her as 1 then after a month |
| [00:40.64] |
She told me her name really wasn't what it was |
| [00:43.14] |
So I switched it up called her name by her second |
| [00:45.93] |
But Io and behold name 3 came the next month |
| [00:48.79] |
So many secrets so many lies |
| [00:50.76] |
So many times she told me last time so I |
| [00:53.67] |
Rolled with it and deeper I went |
| [00:55.93] |
Somehow I felt the need to be her hero and shit |
| [00:58.48] |
Maybe 'cause she was lost a timid immigrant |
| [01:01.03] |
Left her mom working a job that I didn't see fit |
| [01:03.56] |
I just wished I coulda seen the real her |
| [01:05.95] |
Beneath the smiles and laughs the real hurt |
| [01:08.43] |
But she never did let me she left me instead |
| [01:11.10] |
Whatever name she has I hope she finds herself in the end |
| [01:14.03] |
Woke up in the morning |
| [01:15.87] |
With a song of you on my mind |
| [01:18.46] |
Tried to sing your love away |
| [01:21.09] |
But the memories just stayed |
| [01:23.54] |
And if you care I'll never know and if |
| [01:26.72] |
It hurts I'll never show |
| [01:29.27] |
Sit down with the pain and hope |
| [01:31.79] |
It brings a better day |
| [01:33.63] |
And if the blues come running back |
| [01:37.32] |
And if the blues come running back |
| [01:39.47] |
I'll sing until they fade away |
| [01:44.65] |
I'm a sentimental fool a detrimental fool |
| [01:47.06] |
Listening to instrumentals full of existential bull |
| [01:49.48] |
Got a penchant to be cruel 'cause |
| [01:50.94] |
I'm sensitive to you |
| [01:52.00] |
But essentially it's used to pre-empt all of these blues |
| [01:54.75] |
Did I mention I'm a fool |
| [01:56.11] |
Co-dependent tenant on a remedy of booze |
| [01:58.75] |
Necessary rules |
| [01:59.86] |
A lifetime of fences is a senseless thing to do |
| [02:02.44] |
Eventually you lose still defenseless to the blues |
| [02:04.90] |
I see you |
| [02:07.37] |
I feel you |
| [02:10.09] |
What happend to us |
| [02:12.59] |
Backs tumed we grew apart |
| [02:15.27] |
I hear you |
| [02:17.69] |
I feel you |
| [02:20.20] |
We shattered in bullets |
| [02:22.74] |
We chanced it and blew it all |
| [02:30.62] |
We blues people coming back we never left |
| [02:32.93] |
Grooving on another track another step |
| [02:35.50] |
There's something in the way |
| [02:36.71] |
Of things baraka said |
| [02:38.22] |
To live a life of legacy madiba rest |
| [02:40.66] |
Poverty's homicidal things go in cycles |
| [02:43.06] |
Love's anti-suicidal it's the reason to what I do |
| [02:45.92] |
See it past the titles the labels they put on ya |
| [02:48.33] |
Shouts to eddie kochiyarna those who live with honor |
| [02:50.98] |
Do we really listen in our activism |
| [02:53.18] |
What we doing to our children |
| [02:54.64] |
When the schools look prisons |
| [02:55.90] |
When the problem's in the system it's the |
| [02:57.48] |
Spirit thatll free it |
| [02:58.56] |
Take the wound and heal it the solution |
| [03:00.32] |
Is to be it |
| [03:01.15] |
Ain't no power like the power of the people |
| [03:03.10] |
Ignited when the streets move a wave over evil |
| [03:06.36] |
We here to put the neighbor back in the hood |
| [03:08.78] |
Pushing back pushing forward to what's really good |
| [03:11.29] |
I see you |
| [03:13.76] |
I feel you |
| [03:16.47] |
What happend to us |
| [03:19.00] |
Backs tumed we grew apart |
| [03:22.20] |
I hear you |
| [03:23.98] |
I feel you |
| [03:26.37] |
We shattered in bullets |
| [03:28.92] |
We chanced it and blew it all |
| [03:32.01] |
Woke up in the morning |
| [03:34.35] |
With a song of you on my mind |
| [03:36.46] |
Tried to sing your love away |
| [03:38.98] |
But the memories just stayed |
| [03:41.50] |
And if you care I'll never know and if |
| [03:44.44] |
It hurts I'll never show |
| [03:46.99] |
Sit down with the pain and hope |
| [03:49.82] |
It brings a better day |
| [03:51.64] |
And if the blues come running back |
| [03:57.18] |
I'll sing until they fade away |
