Testi

They ask me why they call me The Blues Man
'Cause I done lived it
Survived it
Turned them scars into rhythm
And when it come to this blues?
Yeah… I'm overqualified
Came from them back-road nights where the porch lights glow
Where the pain run deep but the soul still grow
Had to scrape my way up just to breathe that air
Ain't nobody give me nothin' I got truth to spare
Got a heart full of stories pockets full of grind
And a voice carved out by the hands of time
See I walk like a king 'cause I earned these stripes
Ain't no shortcut blues this the paid-in-full life
Every trial every tear every prayer at night
Turned the man that I am into the sound you like
If pain had degrees baby I got mine
Graduated summa cum laude from the School of Hard Times
I'm overqualified
Yeah the blues made me certified
I done walked through fire
Came out cleaner came out higher
Ain't no imitation in my voice tonight
This that real-deal soul that earned-my-life
I'm The Blues Man baby
Yeah I'm overqualified
I ain't new to this hurt I been seasoned well
Got receipts for every battle that I had to dwell
But I flipped every loss into midnight gold
Every heartbreak into stories that forever get told
When I walk on the beat it salute my name
Like "Here come the man that reshaped the game"
See you gotta have history to sing this way
Gotta earn your blues before you get your say
Been knocked down broke down left for gone
But I rebuilt my spirit like a cornerstone
Ain't no choir like one built on pain
And baby when I sing… you feel that flame
I'm overqualified
The blues made me testify
I done been through storms
Still I rise still I shine
Ain't no copy of the soul I provide
This that from-the-mud truth you can't deny
I'm The Blues Man baby
Yeah I'm overqualified
You can't teach this
You gotta bleed this
You gotta grow through what most folks pray they never see
But me?
I turned every dark night
into my melody
I'm overqualified
Every lesson turned amplified
From the struggle to the stage
Yeah I flipped that tide
If you ever felt hurt come and stand by my side
We the Bluesline family worldwide
'Cause I'm The Blues Man baby
And I'm overqualified
