Blue World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, this is dedicated to Ricky, the coolest kid in the city
You was six, battling niggas that was sixteen
I wish things were really what they seemed
How could God give you wings that he shoulda gave me?
Age three, you was brought into my family, how can it be?
A child that looked more like my daddy than me?
Brought me sanity, you see that I wanted to rule the planets
But I dropped out of school and forgot to say congrats to you
Perhaps, I wanted you to meet me on a higher plane
At a older age so you could see how I behave
Clean cut and you didn't need to shave
Cause you had the richest melanin, my relativе to claim
My home, same height as my homiе, my own
Take flight on anyone from my home, my little bro
Little brother like I didn't have another little bro
Always loved you like the others, I just had to let you know
Even though we ain't shared the same blood
We carried the same name and you wear it a little better I think
Ricky Barnes, a gangster like the great Nicky Barnes
A lost angel, crown of a thousand halos you wore
Cause I swore your soul was more pure than gold
And you showed me how rare that is to hold
I don't know how this happened to someone as strong as you
Got me looking for a hole to crawl into
[Hook]
It's a (Blue world), now that you gone
I made you this song to play it along
'Til the day that I'm gone, you will never be forgotten
You will always be riding by my side
It's a (Blue world), now that you gone
I made you this song to play it along
'Til the day that I'm gone, you will never be forgotten
You will always be by my side

[Verse 2]
This is dedicated to Steven, one day I'm gonna get even
The furthest I ever got was a deacon, but a pastor, I gotta ask you
What can make you wanna give it all up to God
From your fam to your friends, all your hobbies and your job?
That's a pastor, he has to change his lifestyle after
I don't think that I would last a day in your shoes
You told us you was making a change
Ready to show us what you'd already gained
Knew you'd promote us to a higher plane
A higher train of thought closer to the cross
Knowing we would all walk with you one day, why not?
Guess God made other plans for your soul
I apologize I hit you in the eye with a pole
Playing baseball in my front yard, played the race card
Cause I don't know how you was so dark with your green eyes
So unique, you couldn't be seen twice
You reinvent every time you visit for the weekend
I was touring Below The Heavens when I got the message
Left me devastated your fam wouldn't let you into Heaven
They was holding onto you so tight that night
That driver fell asleep at the wheel, took your life It's like you was the purest of the three amigos
You had a mean green soul you could never let go
In my eyes, the saddest story that I heard in my life
I remember you for the rest of my life
[Hook]
It's a (Blue world) now that you gone
I made you this song to play it along
'Til the day that I'm gone, you will never be forgotten
You will always be riding by my side
It's a (Blue world) now that you gone
I made you this song to play it along
'Til the day that I'm gone, you will never be forgotten
You will always be by my side

[Verse 3]
This is dedicated to Carolyn, Marilyn's older sister Carolyn
My older cousin had the soul of a barbarian
As a girl, as a kid that'd change your world
As a grown man, that would make you more thorough
That's my cousin, one of the many that kept my feet grounded
Heart poundin' with my cousin, runnin' round, clownin' each other
Even though we were proud of each other
You would clown me every time I would come over
I wish when we got older, we coulda built more
But God took you from a world you was too real for
I know you still here though
Through your nephews and nieces and your family
Without question, I know you understand me
Even though we ain't have the most memories
We bonded on a level most my niggas couldn't reach
And that's deep, but we was more in your face with it
Your energy still lifts me to this day
It's a blessing to have known you
I'm honored to be one of your fam
Even though I'm not blood, you'd treat me like I really am
Hope I did the same, hope we get to hang up in Heaven
Hope the time we spent apart never really separates us
I know the Lord measures your greatness with the godly ones
This is dedicated to anyone that's ever lost someone
Let your music talk to them, remind 'em we know
To anyone that's lost someone they know
It's a (Blue, world)
