Shades Of Blue

[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]

Color of more than pee coming out of the sink

It's 2016 who would think

Kids in America don't have clean water to drink

Like they cut the EBT took 'em off of the link

I read a story about a woman with her daughter in Flint

She got lead poisoning, from showers in the morning

When the governor switched out the pipes to bring the water in

To the city river cause he said they can't afford to get, clean water

So now the poor people get the shorter end

Of the stick, ain't that some bullshit?

Shorty thirsty, he just bought his fourth fifth

It's lead in the water gun, they dying from a full clip

And they got toddlers drinking toxic waste

While the people responsible still ain't caught no case

I don't get it man, I just ain't wit it man

They got Damn Daniel distracting you on Instagram

Back again with the all white media coverage

They do it over and over like remedial subjects

The people with the least always gotta pay the most

They the first to go when they deleted them budgets

Can a nigga get his basic human rights?

Is that too much to ask, should I say it more polite?

And everybody broke so we in the same boat

But would they let that bitch sink if we was white?

They got me shades of blue[Hook: Vic Mensa]

Rain or shine, it's all blue, it's all blue

Ain't no sun, it's all blue, it's all blue

Purple haze, in a daze, it's all blue, it's all blue

Change gon' come, it's all you, it's all on you

It's all blue, all blue

It's all blue, all blue

The skies stay gray, around my way, around my way[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]

Waking up to the morning sun in Detroit

I'll be with the people when they come for the boy

Everybody tryna be American idols

My X factor is I'm the only one with the voice

What's bigger than us is kids listen to us

That's why I give 'em that truth cause they don't get it enough

Everybody too busy online to see how these people lying on us and that shit's [?]

It ain't enough for police to wear body cams

Cause niggas still gettin tazed and body slammed

And cigarettes will kill you on their own but they'll kill you for a cigarette I honor Eric Garner fam'

I'm a part of him, he a part of me

I'm a prodigy in these Prada jeans

I'm tryna' make my partners a part of the election

So you ain't gotta presidential pardon me

And pardon me, but why is it that the darker must suffer?

How do we protect the culture from the vultures?

There's a Cold War every summer in the Chi

It's a snowball effect from the Cold War in Russia

But Vladimir Putin ain't in the hood recruitin'

And Derrick Rose ain't the only one out here shootin'

They set fire to their own squad cars

And a bitch on the news gon' blame it on the lootin'

And here I am talking 'bout a revolution

And I can't even spare a dollar to the movement

But I'm in the strip club spending dollars on that movement

I guess we all got room for improvement[Hook: Vic Mensa]

Rain or shine, it's all blue, it's all blue

Ain't no sun, it's all blue, it's all blue

Purple haze, in a daze, it's all blue, it's all blue

Change gon' come, it's all you, it's all on you

It's all blue, all blue

It's all blue, all blue

The skies stay gray, around my way, around my way
