Blue
MONEYPHONE Lyrics

Praises to the most high
Expressing gratitude or appreciation to a higher power.

I just hit a low
Feeling down or experiencing a setback.

I just need some blue sky
Desiring a change of scenery or mood, to feel free or uplifted.

Baby, take me home
Seeking comfort and safety in the presence of a loved one.

I left some truth inside ya
Leaving behind an honest or sincere message.

What is the make in a man?
Questioning what defines masculinity or worth.

Niggas be iffy I don't understand
Confused by others' indecisiveness or lack of clarity.

Black man, black skin platform
Acknowledging one's identity and heritage as a foundation for expression.

Elevator right to my demise
Feeling like success or ambition can lead to one's downfall.

Coffin be looking to match my skin tone
Reflecting on the reality of death and the inevitability of one's mortality.

Shift a couple hues on the pantone
Making subtle changes or adjustments to one's appearance or image.

Posthumous with a couple wack songs
Stating that some of one's work may not be well-received or appreciated after death.

As long as my niggas get paid, ayy
Prioritizing loyalty to friends and associates over personal success or gain.

Look at the sky, look at the stars
Reflecting on the vastness and wonder of the universe.

Look at myself like at myself I'm ready for war
Viewing oneself as strong and resilient, ready to face challenges and obstacles.

Blood in my eyes I came from pain (we ain't the same)
Acknowledging one's difficult past and the struggles that have shaped them.

Everyday I wake up in haze
Feeling unfocused or unsure about one's direction or purpose.

Look down at myself when I'm searching for praise
Struggling with self-doubt and seeking validation from others.

Baby can you hold me down?
Asking for emotional support and reassurance from a partner.

I be fucking up and I don't ever right my wrongs
Admitting to making mistakes and failing to make amends.

You could pick it up, that's why I'm right here on my own
Acknowledging that others may be more capable or successful, but still striving to make one's own way.

I was raised a honest nigga
Growing up with values of honesty and integrity.

A liar as a child
Admitting to having told lies in the past.

Smoke trees, duck degrees, in the summer heat
Recounting moments of leisure or carefree activity.

Faded like the sides of my brand new hair cut
Comparing one's current state to a freshly cut hairstyle that has begun to fade.

I ain't got the du so my waves don't flow right
Lamenting not having the proper tools or resources to achieve a desired outcome.

'Round the time I met you, I needed summer breeze
Recalling a specific moment in which one needed a change or fresh start, which was provided by a new relationship.

When you let me in, I could barely speak
Feeling overwhelmed or struck by the intensity of one's emotions for another person.

Never saw myself as a deep sea diver
Feeling unprepared or unequipped for the challenges one faces.

The pressure holds me down 'til my words get tied up
Feeling overwhelmed or stifled by external pressures or expectations.

I could take the back seat, it don't matter
Being willing to take a lesser role or position if it means being together with someone else.

As long as we're together then the shit gon' ride out
Believing that as long as one is with loved ones, everything will work out alright in the end.

No, no
An emphatic denial or rejection.
