blu – i was born to be lyrics

[intro: sample]
and clovers being green
is something i’ve never seen
’cause i was born to be blue

[verse 1: blu]
yeah, the kid breathes
nineteen eighty+three
i can’t believe the god in heaven chose me
if you woulda seen the smile on my face
you woulda known i got a beautiful family
no stress, free of amnesty
both sides live in peace happily
both sides free as can be
i can’t believe my fam is this cool
god d+mn, the man i am about to be
somehow, someway, okay
god gotta put a jewel in my way
like you gotta start off poor
you can’t be g+y
’cause you come from l.a
and aside from the norm
you gotta grow up with your family torn
he knew that
that would leave my heart torn
to see my mom leave my pops
heart torn, to see my pops fight the cops for me
to see my mom go to work every morning
i be at school thinking, “this sh+t is boring”
[hook: blu]
’cause i was born to be blue
b l u
’cause i was born to be blue

[verse 2: blu]
she said why would you mourn if you was born in california
there’s a weed dispensary on every other corner
and you smoke convincingly, more than any other foreigner
what makes you think that you won’t see the coroner?
you spend up a quarter of your quarters on this tree
are you fully convinced that its got what what you need
do you need the weed or do you smoke to cope
either way bro, you shouldn’t put hope in dope
but what if you was born to mope
how would you warn the folks around you that this disease can drown you
i found you back in the day actin’ this way
mad at the priveliged kids who had it their way
who don’t share with the poor
they don’t care about the poor anymore than they care about the crumbs on the floor
it’s a shame
ever since i was young at my age
i felt rage ’cause i felt trapped in a cage being poor

[hook: blu]
’cause i was born to be blue
b l u
’cause i was born to be blue
[verse 3: blu]
i grew up early
and i always knew that i’d be alone
even if i had a soul to condone
or a girlfriend to bone
i would still be alone when i’m grown
in my zone, trying to buy a home for my home
on the phone with the dial tone, alone
n0body to call no more
just low, just broke and blue
that dilla song used to get me open too
if folks knew i met dilla in l.a. with shoes[?]
and he said he had heat with my name on it too
and ras g is my dude
he sat in every crash session lighting up the room
with the smooth backwoods rolled fat from the hood
if i could go back i would, but i can’t
d+mn. makes you wonder what’s the color of pain
if my name’s blu
my moms said my face was too when i came through

[outro: blu]
’cause i was born to be blue
