Mr. Blu(e) Sky

[Intro: Chuck Nice & Neil deGrasse Tyson]

Why is the sky blue?

This hasn't been answered since childhood?

You know what? Why is the sky blue? Mind your business, aight?

So, the answer is easy to understand, it's just not simple

First of all, is the sky blue? (Yes)

Okay, at least we got that out

Does it look blue to you?

[Chorus: Sample & Blu]

(Uh) Mr. Blue Sky

Sky, Mr. Blue (Hello)

Mr. Blue Sky (How you do?)

Mr. Blue (Hello)

Mr. Blue Sky (How you do?)

Mr. Blue (Hello)

Mr. Blue Sky (How you do?)

Hey there Mr. Blue (Uh)

[Verse 1: Blu]

So many fans walk up to me and say, "Blu, you blessed me"

That kinda shit makes my day in the best, B

I could go to sleep thinkin' I reached somebody through the music

I could even teach somebody that they can do it

No matter what other people say

Never let nothing stand in your way to make a brighter day

Tomorrow isn't promised to a soul, truth be told

You can home what you own but it's gone when you go

So behold the gold that shines after your light

Cause everything you did right takin' flight

Makin' paths for the children to follow

Or lay in a classic rap that the hood can all model

Selves after, help rappers be a better rapper to they fans

By spreadin' all the knowledge that they can

Which has no ledge, just know the legends

Say "Hi" to the coolest guy that you ever met

[Chorus: Sample & Blu]

(Uh) Mr. Blue Sky

Sky, Mr. Blue (Hello)

Mr. Blue Sky (How you do?)

Mr. Blue (Hello)

Mr. Blue Sky (How you do?)

Mr. Blue (Hello)

Mr. Blue Sky (How you do?)

Hey there Mr. Blue (Uh)

[Verse 2: Blu]

They always set me up, askin' me about my new stuff

And when I'm finna drop some hardcore hip-hop

For the boom bap heads who just can't get enough

Of that B-L-U from the L.A. zoo

"You just give us that feel that we feel has been lost

That we feel that you kill every time you spit a song

How you talk about problem people facin' the U.S

And all over the world, that's what makes you the bluest

The truest, 'cause you wear your heart on your sleeve

And real talk, you only skip the bars you believe

And out of all the MCs, you the flyest

Like anything in the blue sky is, I know 'cause I tried it

I jumped off the roof tryna be like you

I am just a reflection of what you and you do"

Within this skill that we call hip-hop

Even if the beat ends on me, I won't stop

[Bridge: Sample]

Hey there Mr. Blue, Mr. Blue, Mr. Blue

Hey there Mr. Blue, Mr. Blue, Mr. Blue

[Verse 3: Blu]

Uh, touch the sky

Like can't nobody rap and get up this high

That's a lie, the sky is so big and black

That book by John Barnes is a fact

I wanna take you back, at the same time, take you forward

Progress, clear your mind of stress and your employer

Yes, stop thinkin' 'bout your job and your house full of kids

For a second, put a blunt up in your mouth

Blow the smoke out, first choke then let it out

First smoke I ever had, I completely flipped out

Now that shit makes me mellow, so mellow, I be yellow but I'm Blu

I'm sorry, who are you?
