[Hook: B.B. King & Blu]
Every day, I have the blues
Uh, that's why I do what I do because
Every day, I have the blues
Every day, I’m shaking the blues because
Every day, I have the blues
Soon I'ma need some brand new shoes because
Every day, I have the blues
And that's true because
[Verse 1: Blu]
I got the blues, I’m taking crews out by twos
I'm running game on your brand new shoes
Somebody hand Blu the rules 'cause he don't play with none
We won twenty-one to one and we play for fun
Most days I bum and lay out and graze at the sun
Blue haze when I'm blazing the blunt, ain't it been fun?
Handling business while I'm making my runs
Stay out my way young one, I'm the son of a gun
Breaking my back just making a track
Find the samples and making it crack, A up my DATs
Ate up my wax now I tax for the task
Don’t have to ask that cost, don’t have the job but I'm boss
Cause I’m from the Slauson, I floss that much
I gotta walk what I talk and I talk as such
Niggas really wanna know what was up, I coulda banged
Coulda slang, coulda did it for fame but I didn't cause
[Hook: B.B. King & Blu]
Every day, I have the blues
Uh, that's why I do what I do because
Every day, I have the blues
Every day, I'm shaking the blues because
Every day, I have the blues
Soon I’ma need some brand new shoes because
Every day, I have the blues
And that's true because
[Verse 2: Blu]
I got the bad news, I'm doing damage to rap crews
I'm sure you heard the term before, "cash rules", well that's true
Not to mention my career don't have a pension plan
'Less you interested in pinching every inch you can
'Til you an old man and you eventually fall
Cause you couldn't handle the weight when God called
Ain't no use in just holding up the walls
You gotta do what you can kid, you gotta go for yours
Full force like your back's against the wall
You gotta make it all the way to Broadway before you fall
Off like your favorite emcees who got lame for the cheese
Rapping like bacon and cheeseburger sandwiches
Animals slaughtered while your daughter puffs a cancer stick
You tell me how you handle it
I'm from Los Angeles where everyone's Hispanic
And I still don't speak Spanish but I manage
[Hook: B.B. King & Blu]
Every day, I have the blues
Uh, that's why I do what I do because
Every day I have the blues
Every day, I'm shaking the blues because
Every day, I have the blues
Soon I'ma need some brand new shoes because
Every day, I have the blues
And that's true because
[Verse 3: Blu]
I got the blues, and a new rap attitude
I'm tryna take the game of rap to new altitudes
You niggas wanna aim your gats, don't know how to shoot
To aim is not to spray a black stupid, count to two
Your brother is your brother, the earth is like your mother
The verses like church, give praise and pray for one another
Cause the wrath of God is brutal, don't fear man
But know Allah got the master plan
God body, need a body of land, probably Japan
To expand the thoughts I have 'bout who I am
B-L be conceited but mean well
L-U bring the well to water and sell truth
Soaking up about twenty minutes from lookin' up
Goin nuts, thank you God-God above
Knowing I be smokin' blunts but nothing much other than
Brother man ain't got a job but I'll lend a hand with my other hand
Every day I'm struggling, I then got out my brother' Lamb
Remember when I was the man, I had at least a hundred grand
And my name, now you tell me who's to blame
If they see me by the freeway asking people for change
Singing every day, I have the blues
