Mum's The Word - Varsity Blues lyrics
What up though? Welcome to Varsity Blues My personal therapy EP for colored boys [Verse 1] It's when you start to get a gut And you don't go out as much You and your own homeboys barely even stay in touch You be doin' too much You tryin' to build a career Got a one bedroom and a fridge full of beer You smokin' cigarettes like it's goin' outta style Used to be strugglin now you gettin' dough in piles On the real you haven't been truely happy in awhile Yo mind ain't right cause you got issues on file That you been building since a child and still haven't dealt with Thanks to Hennessy and chronic you haven't felt sh** But once you sober up it's like your brain is blowin' up You get headaches and can't sleep You nervous for no reason When everything is quiet you can hear ya heart beatin' Start poundin' hella fast and you feel like you tweekin' I'm speakin' to y'all who know what it's like And might have to be on medication for the rest of ya life [Hook] It's for them varsity blues To all of my dudes Who hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose It's for them varsity blues To my backpackin' crews Who hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose It's for them varsity blues To my rips and taboos(?) Who hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose It's for the varsity blues To all of y'all who pay dues Still hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose [Verse 2] It's when you been with the same girl for over a year Knowing deep in your heart that marriage is ya greatest fear How you supposed to settle down with all these ladies out here? So many different types: Black, Latin, and White Now ya girl might be tight, but she's not the only one And this is your life and you got only one To live, so live it up Or do you give it up? That's why I'm singin' the blues for y'all who know what's up If your girl cheats on you, she's a who*e, she's a s*ut But if you do the same thing, you just bein' a man Now we can truely understand what our fathers went through I know you cheated on your girl and it's botherin' you But she'll never find out cause she was out with the crew And she can't be hurt by what she never knew But deep down inside you wanna tell her the truth But if you do, she might leave so what should you do? [Hook] [Verse 3] It's varsity blues cause I landed in Most every hood activity and rap Mid City To retire from these streets that for years attempted k**in' me My hood and dead homies will forever live in me Keepin' me inspired through the drama life's giving me I willingly sacrifice my life on these beats So when I play it back I k** the demons in my sleep Or at least to understand why I am the way I am Mean-spirited and angry and I don't give a damn Mad at the world, that's why I never had a girl Incapable of lovin' anyone who could betray me She made out with my best friend, it sorta drove me crazy Along with the store that I opened down in AZ And at the same time I blew the engine on my Cadillac Cost me seven Gs so you know that set me back Which eqauls varsity blues and panic attacks [Hook]
