Boy Named Blue - 12th

You better pay me in Tubman twenties
When blacks win our reparations you know where to come and get me
Mid city raised by la brea and San vincente
I'm saving up every penny
Want to buy my house that they took when it got too trendy
Now they adding sprouts cause the Burger King wasn't pretty
Pretty or not my block saved me and oh so many
Even when cops would flock picking up all attendees
Ten feet across from god siblings I won't forget em
Won't forget selling that lemonade
Front yard yard sale gettin paid
Now we got a lemon tree bitter taste but it give us shade
Wu tang play from speakers that neighbors hate
School change far away so I take the train
Blue named, boy afraid that he'll stay the same
Can't escape when he come of age
Hesitate so he make mistakes

What is it that they say
To live and die in LA
Barely surviving LA
Getting sad cause the stars never shine in LA
Mom and dad bought a pad so I try to create
Their marriage died in 08
Innate talent attained
I make magic from pain
My brain had its escape
Evade madness and hate
I hate having to wait
I'm sorry for the wait
You know. I mean some of you know
This all took way too long to make
