Violets

[Chorus: Bianca Rodriguez] Something so wonderful and new A million colors just for you It shines in everything you do Like violets [Phonte] Yo, blues and greens and violets; eyes get Heavy with the weight of the world around the iris It’s like something insane, it’s like a virus It’s like a hybrid of all your joys and your pains That you bring to the table, periodically And memorize 'em like a scientist For you to make it, dawg Ya gonna need alliances A blessing and a prayer from the whole Archdiocese Tigga – let’s put it to rest 'Cause I’m so in need of one I only hear about it and never really seen it done Everybody asking when I’m coming out So when I run a route, I take the scenic one [Pre-Chorus: Phonte] To get away from all that ails me I return to the place that never fails me The hues spread the news, giving color to your frailties The blues and the greens and all that’s in between And this is how I mean – one time, uh [Chorus: Bianca Rodriguez] Something so wonderful and new A million colors just for you It shines in everything you do Like violets [Verse 2: Phonte] Yo, blues and greens and violets; eyes get Heavy with the weight of the world around the iris So much that I be appalled to see ‘em Close your eyes, envision the cause for freedom But when they open, it’s a struggle to carpe diem 'Cause the streets is littered with niggas for mausoleums Giving up is the last option So when I spit my last doctrine I make the audience clap for my offensive lines, like they pass blocking I really wanna chill, but I ain’t in that yet Don't wanna live in excess Think I need her tonight, like INXS But my mind is talking to me like, “Nigga, don’t you send that text!” (NO!) Take time to introspect So you can keep going, to get those checks And give praises, 'cause never before have you been so blessed [Pre-Chorus: Phonte] When the troubles of the world Start to ail me I return to the place that never fails me The hues spread the news Giving color to your frailties The blues and the greens and all that’s in between Like that... ride it out, hey! The blues and the greens and all that’s in between This is how I mean – one time [Chorus: Bianca Rodriguez] Something so wonderful and new A million colors just for you It shines in everything you do Like violets
