[00:02.45]Woke up in the morning
[00:04.51]With a song of you on my mind
[00:06.87]Tried to sing your love away
[00:09.55]But the memories just stayed
[00:11.99]And if you care I'll never know and if
[00:15.23]It hurts I'll never show
[00:17.75]Sit down with the pain and hope
[00:20.26]It brings a better day
[00:22.11]And if the blues come running back
[00:27.74]I'll sing until they fade away
[00:33.28]She had 3 names maybe had 4
[00:35.54]Hell if I know yo she probably had more
[00:38.20]Met her as 1 then after a month
[00:40.64]She told me her name really wasn't what it was
[00:43.14]So I switched it up called her name by her second
[00:45.93]But Io and behold name 3 came the next month
[00:48.79]So many secrets so many lies
[00:50.76]So many times she told me last time so I
[00:53.67]Rolled with it and deeper I went
[00:55.93]Somehow I felt the need to be her hero and shit
[00:58.48]Maybe 'cause she was lost a timid immigrant
[01:01.03]Left her mom working a job that I didn't see fit
[01:03.56]I just wished I coulda seen the real her
[01:05.95]Beneath the smiles and laughs the real hurt
[01:08.43]But she never did let me she left me instead
[01:11.10]Whatever name she has I hope she finds herself in the end
[01:14.03]Woke up in the morning
[01:15.87]With a song of you on my mind
[01:18.46]Tried to sing your love away
[01:21.09]But the memories just stayed
[01:23.54]And if you care I'll never know and if
[01:26.72]It hurts I'll never show
[01:29.27]Sit down with the pain and hope
[01:31.79]It brings a better day
[01:33.63]And if the blues come running back
[01:37.32]And if the blues come running back
[01:39.47]I'll sing until they fade away
[01:44.65]I'm a sentimental fool a detrimental fool
[01:47.06]Listening to instrumentals full of existential bull
[01:49.48]Got a penchant to be cruel 'cause
[01:50.94]I'm sensitive to you
[01:52.00]But essentially it's used to pre-empt all of these blues
[01:54.75]Did I mention I'm a fool
[01:56.11]Co-dependent tenant on a remedy of booze
[01:58.75]Necessary rules
[01:59.86]A lifetime of fences is a senseless thing to do
[02:02.44]Eventually you lose still defenseless to the blues
[02:04.90]I see you
[02:07.37]I feel you
[02:10.09]What happend to us
[02:12.59]Backs tumed we grew apart
[02:15.27]I hear you
[02:17.69]I feel you
[02:20.20]We shattered in bullets
[02:22.74]We chanced it and blew it all
[02:30.62]We blues people coming back we never left
[02:32.93]Grooving on another track another step
[02:35.50]There's something in the way
[02:36.71]Of things baraka said
[02:38.22]To live a life of legacy madiba rest
[02:40.66]Poverty's homicidal things go in cycles
[02:43.06]Love's anti-suicidal it's the reason to what I do
[02:45.92]See it past the titles the labels they put on ya
[02:48.33]Shouts to eddie kochiyarna those who live with honor
[02:50.98]Do we really listen in our activism
[02:53.18]What we doing to our children
[02:54.64]When the schools look prisons
[02:55.90]When the problem's in the system it's the
[02:57.48]Spirit thatll free it
[02:58.56]Take the wound and heal it the solution
[03:00.32]Is to be it
[03:01.15]Ain't no power like the power of the people
[03:03.10]Ignited when the streets move a wave over evil
[03:06.36]We here to put the neighbor back in the hood
[03:08.78]Pushing back pushing forward to what's really good
[03:11.29]I see you
[03:13.76]I feel you
[03:16.47]What happend to us
[03:19.00]Backs tumed we grew apart
[03:22.20]I hear you
[03:23.98]I feel you
[03:26.37]We shattered in bullets
[03:28.92]We chanced it and blew it all
[03:32.01]Woke up in the morning
[03:34.35]With a song of you on my mind
[03:36.46]Tried to sing your love away
[03:38.98]But the memories just stayed
[03:41.50]And if you care I'll never know and if
[03:44.44]It hurts I'll never show
[03:46.99]Sit down with the pain and hope
[03:49.82]It brings a better day
[03:51.64]And if the blues come running back
[03:57.18]I'll sing until they fade away
