Gabriel Prince
Blu and Black
[Chorus: Durow]
The whole world's pain was unloaded
On my anxious shoulders
I can show you but
You'll see it when I smile
And on my painted brow lines
Hold my gaze from showing shame
You could see it just standing where you are
So baby scream just sitting in your car remember
[Verse 1]
When I die go and put my money in the grave
I don't want none of you fakes
Getting paid off what I made
I deserve it after this parade of fame
I'm the one that over shadows you
But your the one that's throwing shade
When I die put it in the grave like Drake
That grave better be paved
So that I will secure my bag
Y'all better behave
I know you'll stay for my sake
Stop talking down on money that I save
But you do it anyway
I do this all day and all night
But the only thing that builds inside is this feeling of fright
Cause it's all a waste of time if I don't promote it right
Maybe I should quit before it takes over my life
But now I'm sitting here and I'm obsessed with the music
I'm obsessed with the wordplay and the rhymes and how I can use it
I learned to fuse it into these emotions that I'm feeling
Take a take a step back and see how easy it is to lose it
When the album dropped I didn't know what I was doing
I had a plan but I didn't know how to pursue it
My broke ass couldn't afford to pay for my music
It left bruises on my back
It left me black and blu and now I know that
[Chorus: Durow]
The whole world's pain was unloaded
On my anxious shoulders
I can show you but
You'll see it when I smile
And on my painted brow lines
Hold my gaze from showing shame
You could see it just standing where you are
So baby scream just sitting in your car remember
[Verse 2]
People always say "Yeah try to be you"
But I don't know myself so what do I do
Music is a part of me so what can I do
I have nothing so I can't lose
Now I can't get away
Now there's no escape
People ask me to play
This little rap game
Music's not the same
It's about the fame
It's a marketing scheme
Nobody is afraid
I hate it how you don't need skill to blow up
You need a fat check, some chicks, and a little bit of luck
I don't have any of those lucky luxurious so you know what
I'll just do this now forever but now I feel stuck
I'm nearsighted cause now I only see what's in front of me
I see zero play and hate and fakes making fun of me
I see my friends now pulling light years ahead of me
Where will it end I feel like I'll be here for eternity
There's no infinity and beyond for me like please
My buzz is just a buzz I'll never turn out to be
Someone to blow up from boring North Dakota you see
But if I blow up I'll be radio active best believe
I'll be played in your car
In your jet
In your limousine
I'll expose this shady business in this crazy industry
I hate myself more than any man could ever hate me
But I'll never hate myself as much as I hate humanity
[Chorus: Durow]
The whole world's pain was unloaded
On my anxious shoulders
I can show you but
You'll see it when I smile
And on my painted brow lines
Hold my gaze from showing shame
You could see it just standing where you are
So baby scream just sitting in your car remember
