BlueSoul

Bluesoul - never tamed never growing old

Bluesoul - got nothing to lose and nowhere to go

 

Call me the wilderness generation

Try to speak my mind but I’m lost in translation

The road less traveled is my inspiration

The path means more than the destination

Living in the east but my heart’s in the west

Exiled for life, but I must confess

Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m cursed or blessed

But my mind is free and I live the quest

 

 Bluesoul - never tamed never growing old

Bluesoul - got nothing to lose and nowhere to go

 

I used to play ball with the kids from the ghetto

Called me the Bird, said “that white boy can play,yo”

Other people told me I should stick with my own

But I been color blind ever since the day I was born

My heroes are all colors shapes and sizes

I got people in my family from all sides

Some are good some are bad - here’s a word to the wise

Ain’t no chosen people, stop spreading that lie

 

 Bluesoul - never tamed never growing old

Bluesoul - got nothing to lose and nowhere to go

I toil and grind for each line and rhyme

To tell the story right, satisfy my mind

All I need is one lucky break, just one time

Couldn't quit if I wanted  so I keep on trying

I fought, never bought, never sold my soul

Almost reached for the gold, but chose the burning coal

These days I try to keep my fire under control

I stay cool on the surface, but I boil below
