Use These Blues - Marco Polo, A-F-R-O, Eamon

See I’ve been getting high

From dealing with the lows

Every time I get by

Another door close

It’s like I love it when I lose

So come with me and use these blues

So even though I try

Straighten up and fly

Seeing momma’s tears come down her eyes

It’s like I love it when I lose

So come with me and use these blues

Ayo, now I remember

When all of the hardest problems caught up in my noggin

Washed up, unconscious

Heart stopped and nausea

Walking farther in the ocean with the hopeless feelin' reelin' in the proper

motion sickness

The soul is gifted but the mind plays the puppeteer

Something fierce, that loving you will still erupt in tears

Punching walls, yelling at ya moms for shit you did

The love you abused, let your mood switch

The hatred and hopelessness you feel is a play on your mind

The love around you is real

The brothers are out to bill but your mothers are out to heal with you

Others are down to kill you, but you gotta figure this

You tell yourself it ain’t worth it but it is

I wanna see the smile on your face when you live your days

It’s a phase you’re a diamond in the rough

You’re allowed to touch people, dying is injustice

See I’ve been getting high

From dealing with the lows

Every time I get by

Another door close

It’s like I love it when I lose

So come with me and use these blues

So even though I try

Straighten up and fly

Seeing momma’s tears come down her eyes

It’s like I love it when I lose

So come with me and use these blues

The thing about rock-bottom, there’s no room to sink lower

Instead of thinking back please think forward

Reach for a shoulder and fiend for your quota

A real human being gon' see you need closure

You gotta remember to tell yourself you’re worth it

The serpent in your mind doesn’t like you as a person

It seeks out to hurt ya, yeah it’s always with you

And I know that it’s a bitch to live through

But you don’t recognize the people in your life, trying to teach you to strive

The tears in their eyes when you’ll be falling a weak demise and the hurt is so

deep inside

Of you, blinking and thinking «Why am I even being alive?»

And «Why try to be the guy who finds beauty in life blind?»

My brothers and my sisters learned a lesson

If you’re hopeless, just remember you’re a blessing to your loved ones

See I’ve been getting high

Dealing with the lows

Every time I get by

Another door close

It’s like I love it when I lose

So come with me and use these blues

So even though I try

Straighten up and fly

Seeing momma’s tears come down her eyes

It’s like I love it when I lose

So come with me and use these blues
