terminator x - the blues lyrics
i sing the blues in the hull of a ship
beneath the sting of a slavemaster’s whip
i sing the blues on a ship anch0r-d to dock
my family being sold on a slave block
i sing the blues being torn from my first born
and hung my head and cried
when my wife took his life
and then commited suicide
i sing the blues on a slavemaster’s plantation
helpin him build his free nation
i sing the blues in the cotton field
hustlin to make the daily yield
i sing the blues when he forced my woman to bed
lawd knows how i wish he was dead
i sing the blues on the run.. {-fades out-}
[andreas 13]
{it-it-it, it takes, it-it ta-it
it takes..} solitude, to contemplate a dope rhyme
drop the b-ss as i go for mine
13, and i’m chillin with the x man
i choose to spews the blues, so you can understand
i’m harder than the steel forged in a hot fire
the prince of power, the ink of desire
engagin andreas in the muck or the mire
i got a storm – and she is a live one
singin in the background, promisin the stars the moon
and the sun sayin, “dre’ i got a new life
and i’ve just begun, a rerun might be fun”
now i play to win the game, to be put on
this is what, gives me the blues, word is bond
so now i’m gone..
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
[andreas 13]
now, it’s the blues, so don’t snooze, check out how i kick it
a def beat that’s dope wild and wicked
a mad brother, that is god gifted
so tell me why am i another statistic
payin all my bills and still bein evicted
slum lord brought a rate height and i ripped it
broken lights, and no hot water
you got nerve in here, beggin for a quarter
burn this b-tch down, is what i oughta do
and that’s comin from the workin man’s point of view
the first of the month and all my bills are due
i pay the light bill and pay the phone bill do
because if i don’t, my po’ -ss is through
my po’ -ss is through
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i..}
[andreas 13]
i got a job – workin and smirkin for apartheid county
it takes two weeks to step collect my bounty
and d-mn, i can’t believe the way they tax me
a third of my pay g? exactly!
yeah they think they got me, sweatin for a paycheck
hearin my boss riff with empty threats
but i don’t worry, and i don’t fret
just daydream about regrets
would i do it all over again? no words
cause workin everyday, and still bein broke..
.. is strictly to the curb!
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
[andreas 13]
now my girl, i tell her that i love her
she says if you do, you must suffer – sucka
so she moves in with another – brother
claimin to me, she needs two lovers
one for the s-x, and one for the money
you know which one i was, but not to be funny
let me tell you all about this sourp-ss honey
was she sl!ck, and was she crummy
cause i believed her when she said she loved me
oh boy, what a dummy
because behind the back, everyone ain’t true
you see i live with someone, and sc-mmy does too
she said, “it’s good for me.. if it’s good for you”
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i, i have to sing the blues..}
{ahhh-hahhh, that’s why i.. that’s why i..}
{that’s why i got to sing the blues..}
{ooooh-hooooooooo..}
{-continues in background w/ variations}
i sing the blues in church on sunday
slavin on monday, misused on tuesday
abused on wednesday, accuased on thursday
fried alive on friday, and died on sat-rday
sho’ nuff singin the blues
i sing the blues that a sucka thought we couldn’t bring
i tell him sho’ nuff the blues is my thing
i sing the backwater blues, rhythm and blues
gospel blues, st. louis blues, north carolina blues
chicago blues, mississippi god-d-mn blues
the watts blues, harlem blues, ?? blues
gut-funky blues, funky chunky blues
i sing the up north cigarette cough blues
the down south strung out the side of my mouth blues
i sing the blues black
i sing the blues blacker
i sing the blues blackest..
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
{that’s why i..}
{that’s why i sing the blues..}
