[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
