Out The Blue

If I knew what I knew as a youth

Then it’s true

I’d be trapped in a cycle of childish pursuit

Don’t wanna play hide and seek with my time or the truth

Man need to break the routine from inside then we move

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue —

Out the blue, out the blue

It feels like I’m floating

In the middle of the ocean

And I dunno where the boat is

All on my lonesome

Just going with the motions

Really living in the moment

But it look a scary

When I look at my reflection

And I couldn’t see the golden, part of my history

Don’t pardon my blackness though

'Cause I really gotta own this

I was on sofas, man, I was homeless

When life dealt the cards I got jokers

Eighteen, living off focus

More than a little bit of trauma I really should’ve processed

Didn’t feel strengthened

By the energy around me

It was more like vultures

No less, couldn’t let it take my soul, when the spirit ain’t bolstered, hoping, uh

If I knew what I knew as a youth

Then it’s true

I’d be trapped in a cycle of childish pursuit

Don’t wanna play hide and seek with my time or the truth

Man need to break the routine from inside then we move

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue

It’s one big contemplation

That’s had my mind trapped in stasis

Might change my name to Houdini

I'm another artist escaping

Chasing all the same things you're chasing

Peace, alcohol, women and payments

I got water bills, gas and government taxing

In more than just where man’s bathing

And proving the risk got him tapped and sinking

All for not going where the wave is

Now the child in me’s crying and wailing

Guard the life that you think needs saving

Spray the truth cuh they need hydration

Pray it stick like their favorite fragrance

Can't stay caught in the same rotation

Pray a blessing never miss

They don’t know what pressure is

Call my friends and reminisce

'Bout the times when we were kids

Days we never had a care

Back when mummy bought the drip

Now I gotta wear the shoes

Go where daddy never did

Pray a blessing never miss

They don’t know what pressure is

Call my friends and reminisce

'Bout the times when we were kids

Days I never had a care

Back when mummy bought the drip

Now I gotta wear the shoes and big daddy never slip, oh!

If I knew what I knew as a youth

Then it’s true

I’d be trapped in a cycle of childish pursuit

Don’t wanna play hide and seek with my time or the truth

Man need to break the routine from inside then we move

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue, out the blue, out the blue

Out the blue

Out the blue, out the blue
