why so sad?

walking around with them blue faces

she said i'm down on my luck

and it's something i gotta have

blue faces

i hit the bank today and told them color me bad

blue faces

get that new money

and it's breaking me down honey

two tears in the bucket i cry with you

but i could never lie with you

i could never afford not to afford

i could never put my plans to the side with you

i could never see a red light

like a deer with a headlight

i freeze up when i re-up

see i barely have patience

and you're relating

only the moment to complete us

why you hate to work for it?

the reason i never went to work for it

see a nine to five was so jive turkey

but when thanksgiving came that check didn't hurt me

you plead the fifth

i read the fifth amendment

we both criminals with bad intentions

they say time heals all

but if i can shortcut

my success

corvettes by tomorrow

why so sad?

walking around with them blue faces

she said i'm down on my luck

and it's something i gotta have

blue faces

i hit the bank today and told them color me bad

blue faces

get that new money

and it's breaking me down honey

my home girl got a credit card scam

she got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damn

intuition she got a broke bitch wishin'

she tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan

i know you

woman

i console you

woman

you feel like the universe owes you

woman

oh the anticipation

of hoping you could make it

bitches don't prosper chasing education

but you're talented

and can't handle it

and your homegirls can't be your manager

365 times four

plus more

if yan't get it right

tell me

do you got the stamina?

but shit

ain't no money like fast money

even today i'm considered a crash dummy

a rapper chasing stardom

how can i fast forward?

my accolades better than all them

why so sad?

walking around with them blue faces

she said i'm down on my luck

and it's something i gotta have

blue faces

i hit the bank today and told them color me bad

blue faces

get that new money

and it's breaking me down honey

i wrote this song looking at a broke home baby

you know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babies

somebody yell kendrick american
