about

"Red, Blue" is about an incident I had with my friends one time in NY when we were randomly stopped and searched for weapons and drugs, and the cops falsely accused me of having a gun on me. It wasn’t the first time I was pulled over like that, and it wouldn’t be the last.

“Red Blue” is a part of my yearlong journey to release one new song a month. Get ready!

lyrics

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Buildings whizzing by in the night
Streets signs, street lights, turn to lightbeams (Yeah)
Hyperdrive (Yeah)
The only whip on the road
On our way home
Smellin’ like sweat and cologne
Singin’ along to the radio
High on the history we just wrote

Pre
Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Flashin’ lights
Hide your crown, window down, toss your pride
10 and 2, 10 and 2, 10 and 2 guard your life
Life in black and white
Damn!

Hook
Ah! (hear ‘em!) I was born a loser
I don’t believe ‘em but they tell me
(Ah! I was born a loser)
Hear ‘em tell it, I’m a loser

Verse 2
You can tell ‘em ‘bout yuh degrees (yeah)
Bout’ volunteering on the weekend
Anything you think
Save yuh neck, bruh
Don’t let his knee touch yuh
Tell ‘em yo’ daddy’s a deacon
Show ‘im pics of your nephews and nieces
We all know you a king bruh but
All he sees is Negruh

In them

Pre
Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Flashin’ lights
That melanin you carryin’ is a crime
So 10 and 2, 10 and 2, 10 and 2 guard your life
Life in black and white
Damn!

Bridge
Red blue flashing lights
Shots fired
Shoes take flight
They say he had weapon
But couldn’t find the weapon
Red blue flashing lights
Said he feared for his life
They say he had weapon
He was born with a weapon
Damn

Hook
Ah! (hear ‘em!) I was born a loser
I don’t believe ‘em but they tell me
Hear ‘em tell it, I’m a loser
