SINGING THE BLUES - Taylor Bennett, Femdot

What do you do when you realize

Your best friend’s family do not share the same views?

It seems like often we be talking but we arguing too

If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused

Know for you, this bad news

We just singin' the blues

When you realize your best friend’s family

Do not share the same views

Seems like often we be talking but we arguing too

If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused

Know for you, this bad news

We just singin' the blues

I just wanna be the one in the fam' to make a milly first

Not off of a Milly verse

I’m thinking about the universe

Another nigga in the inner city tryna make a living

Cops tryna frisk 'cause they make commissions

Crooked politicians tryna push a lock up out of visions

I know all decisions, don’t you argue with me

If you a Trump supporter, how you talkin' to me?

How you arguin' with me, tryna bargain with me?

And it ain’t in my traits to be a traitor

But you treadin' slim water if you think you can barter with me

Nah

Chicago niggas dyin' every day in every way

How you think the guns got in our city?

I wake up instantly innocence leavin' me

I’m who believed to be

I just pretend who I tend to be

My halo matching your MAGA hat energy

How could we both have no sympathy?

Damn!

And life ain’t easy for me either

I mean, to be honest

Don’t know why you have such a problem with what Donald does

My mom says he wants to make everything better for all of us

He work hard just like my father

And you talk so much about violence

Like, it’s not funny

You.

I mean you talk about shooters all the time

Get so happy when I sing Keef songs with you

I mean what do you need me to prove?

That I really ain’t evil, dude?

What you mean, we got on the same Yeezy’s too

What’s different from what we gon' do and what he gon' do?

We was friends before so what I mean to you?

And I mean to you

This all nonsense, and I got it, but that’s not it

This mean promise, means more jobs, more growth, more hope

You know that hope that we never really got under Obama?

Said I wasn’t racist when we did group projects

When my mom brought the stuff to the apartment

But since we can’t agree to disagree

And you can’t see what I see

Now, man, it’s a problem

What do you do when you realize

Your best friend’s family do not share the same views?

It seems like often we be talking but we arguing too

If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused

Know for you, this bad news

We just singin' the blues

When you realize your best friend’s family

Do not share the same views

Seems like often we be talking but we arguing too

If you don’t think I know you frontin', then you must be confused

Know for you, this bad news

We just singin' the blues
