I Need the Blues

I done worked all week,

And I didn’t go to jail

May not mean much to you

But that means I didn’t need no bail

I ain’t throwing no hands

And won’t be no debates

Ain’t gone let nobody

Frustrate me today

So If your mood ain’t right

Stay away from me

I ain’t gone send for you

So don’t come here looking for me

The phone keeps ringing

And these bills keep coming

Tryna take care of these kids

Naw I ain’t got no money

I need the blues to come and take me away

I need the blues to come and take me away

You may not know,

Or maybe you just don’t see

But the only reason I ain’t snapped

Cuz God been working on me

Lord knows I’m trying

to keep my shit together

I keep telling myself

This storm won’t last forever

I’ma do what’s right

No matter what folks do

Cuz y’all I would’ve lost my mind

If It wasn’t for the blues

The phone keeps ringing

And these bills keep coming

Tryna keep up with these kids

Naw I ain’t got no money

I need the blues to come and take me away

I need the blues to come and take me away

I need the blues

come and take me

Take me away

I need the blues

come and take me

Take me away

I need the blues

come and take me

Take me away

I need the blues

come and take me

Take me away

I need the blues to come and take me away
