Dark Red Blues Lyrics

It was half past 2 in the afternoon

Got back from work, walked into my room

Kicking off my pants and my shoes

Planning to rest in my bed cuz the minutes I slept were few

My brother walks in again asking when do I move

I said, "I've been working all day, have you?"

I had him retract, said I want him to ask that back

Once I'm in a better of mood

Now I mostly don't pay too much attention, he don't know best

Then again, there's a reason they did invent birds leaving the nest

Now I'm getting some doubts fretting and wondering if its true

If my parents been comparing me with my peers

And been itching to give me the boot

These Dark, these Dark Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, these Dark and Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, these Dark Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, These Dark and Red

These Dark, These Dark, These Dark Red Blues

Let me hit you with the scoop of how work was today

I go in, see my Team leaders and the smiles on their face

My boss congratulates me that I just simply came

He got me lunch again, so that I didn't have to pay

Everyday brother Corbin, he turns to me and shakes his head

And says he hates how other people don't work with no regrets.

I tell him it's a mental state I think that we've been blessed (with)

We work as if we serve the Lord, and Corbin says "amen"

Me and Corbin don't shame people, for us it just means more bread

But these horrid sights of people that choose to represent

The laziness of this country man, and do not take offense

It hurts us more than it does you when they bump up the rent

These Dark, these Dark Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, these Dark and Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, these Dark Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, These Dark and Red

These Dark, These Dark, These Dark Red Blues

Well Anyhoo, here's my side of the story for some avail

I see other bros who are going broke and getting thrown in jail

Their girlfriends in the apartments blowing dough on painting nails

Some adults say "oh they're growing up" but I see it as a fail

I'm trying to save some pay up from chores and then some more

Cuz the thoughts of the consequences got me in great remorse

For I could never forgive myself if I get in a divorce

If I couldn't afford to do my job to financially support

And those are thoughts I thought I'd share that I often tend to dread

When I choose to be in some funk, from these blues all dark and red

These Dark, these Dark Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, these Dark and Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, these Dark Red

These Dark, these Dark Red Blues

These Dark, These Dark and Red

These Dark, These Dark, These Dark Red Blues
