[Verse 1 – gritty bounce]
AND I PUT THIS ON BLUE
On my set for the Crips, I want you to move
It’s not like you got a choice or you’ll catch this boom
I done seen too many homies laid out too soon
Heart cold, but it started out warm
From the mud, from the nights we was duckin’ them storms
Mama cryin’, I was out on the curb with the crew
Now every step I take — yeah, I PUT THIS ON BLUE
[Pre-Hook – melodic pain]
I ain’t choose this life, it chose me first
Still feel my brother voice in the back of the hearse
Every win feel heavy, every loss feel worse
But I’m standin’ on my name ‘til they throw me in dirt
[Hook – catchy, emotional bounce]
AND I PUT THIS ON BLUE
On my set for the Crips, I want you to move
not like you got a choice or you’ll catch this boom
We was kids in the field, now we new troops room
If you put on that red, you’ll end up with your mens
Six feet down, made him ashes instead
Too much pain in my chest, I ain’t sleep in my bed
I’d PICK BLUE OVER RED
If you get it messed up
might end up sped
Mink
I hit him in his lip
Lay him out like he dead
[Verse 2 – faster DaBaby-style energy]
Look —
I was broke, I was hungry, I remember them days
Now the city know my pain when I step on the stage
Still the same young demon that was stuck in the maze
Tryna smile through the smoke while
I’m duckin’ the haze
Lost friends, yeah, that wound still bleed
Every siren outside make my heart skip beats
I ain’t flexin’, I’m just sayin’ what the streets done seen
When you live how we live, it ain’t no in-between
[Bridge – raw, slowed emotional moment]
Sometimes I wish we could rewind time
Back when the block wasn’t takin’ mine
Back when we laughed in the streetlight glow
Now it’s candle flames where my people go…
Yeah…
I still hear ‘em call my name at night…
[Final Hook – bigger, more emotional]
AND I PUT THIS ON BLUE
On my set for the Crips, I want you to move
It’s not like you got a choice or you’ll catch this boom
Too many angels wearin’ blue in the room
If you put on that red, you’ll end up with your mens
Six feet down, made him ashes instead
Tears fallin’, but I meant what I said…
I’d pick blue over red
[Outro – soft but firm]
Yeah…
Put this on blue…
We throw out the red
For the nights we made it through…
