[Intro: Sample 1 & Sample 2]
Seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, making me glad
Why am I blue? It's up to you to explain
Blue
"What's your favorite color?" (It's up to you) "Pink!"
"What's your second favorite color?" (It's up to blue, It's up to blue)
"Darker pink!"
"What's your third favorite color?" (It's up to blue)
"Green!" (It's up to blue)
"What's your fourth favorite color? (It's up to you to explain)
"Blue"
[Verse 1: Blu]
Uh (You ain't never been blue)
Like if you grew up on Dre and had to move out to LA
Or it's your 29th birthday and you ain't had no place to stay
Or when your mama left your papa, you was five, maybe four
You got a dollar but a meal cost five, maybe more
You sleeping, two to a bed, one at the foot, one at the headboard
You studied to be a college student until your head sore
You work at a pet store
You wanna sell your soul but you can't get no bread for it
(You ain't never been blue)
You got ate up in a battle, your girlfriend say she don't like you
You wish it wasn't your gender, your ethnicity doesn't fit you
You don't fit in that school, you got beat up in a fight
Your car got a flat tire, and you got one on your bike
You try to be like your idol, you heard he say he don't like you
You had a fight with your rival and lost the championship fight
You couldn't walk at graduation though you tried hard to make it
But everybody don't make it man (You ain't never been blue)
Pro broke hustlin or strung out struggling
On the block drug juggling or running from the cop busting
What you talking bout nigga? You ain't never been caught with pounds
You ain't never been in the pen without someone to hold you down
You ain't never been down and out without a dollar for food
Y'all don't know what I'm talkin' 'bout, y'all don't know nothin' 'bout the blues
Sleeping next to cockroaches, eating out of garbage cans
You ain't never been no man, man
Seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, making me glad
Why am I blue? It's up to you to explain
Blue
"What's your favorite color?" (It's up to you) "Pink!"
