Out The Blue (Lyrics by Che Lingo)
Chorus
If I knew what I knew as a youth,
Then it’s true,
I’d be trapped in a cycle of childish pursuit,
Don’t wanna play hide and seek with my time or the truth,
Man need to break the routine from inside then we move,
Out the blue x4
Out the blue x4
Out the blue x4
Out the blue —
Out the blue x2
Verse 1
It feels like I’m floating,
in the middle of the ocean,
and I dunno where the boat is,
all on my lonesome,
just going with the motions,
really living in the moment,
But it look a scary,
when I look at my reflection
and I couldn’t see the golden,
Part of my history,
don’t pardon my blackness though
coz I really gotta own this,
I was on sofas,
Man I was homeless,
When life dealt the cards I got jokers,
18 living off focus,
More than a little bit of trauma I really should’ve processed,
didn’t feel strengthened,
by the energy around me,
It was more like vultures,
Chorus
If I knew what I knew as a youth,
Then it’s true,
I’d be trapped in a cycle of childish pursuit,
Don’t wanna play hide and seek with my time or the truth,
Man need to break the routine from inside then we move,
Out the blue x4
Out the blue x4
Out the blue x4
Out the blue —
Out the blue x2
Verse 2
Its’s one big contemplation,
That’s had my mind trapped in stasis,
Might change my name to Houdini
I’m another artist escaping,
chasing the same things you’re chasing,
peace, alcohol, women and payments,
I got water bills gas and government taxing
more than just where man’s bathing,
and proving the risk got him tapped and sinking all for not going where the wave is,
Now the child in me’s crying and wailing
Guard the life that you think needs saving,
Pray it stick like their favorite fragrance,
Cant stay caught in the same rotation,
Pray a blessing never miss,
They don’t know what pressure is,
Call my friends and reminisce,
Bout the times when we were kids,
Days we never had a care,
Back when mummy bought the drip,
Now I gotta wear the shoes,
Go where daddy never did
Pray a blessing never miss,
They don’t know what pressure is,
Call my friends and reminisce,
Bout the times when we were kids,
Days we never had a care,
Back when mummy bought the drip,
Now I gotta wear the shoes,
And big daddy never slip, oh!
If I knew what I knew as a youth,
Then it’s true,
I’d be trapped in a cycle of childish pursuit,
Don’t wanna play hide and seek with my time or the truth,
Man need to break the routine from inside then we move,
Out the blue x4
Out the blue x4
Out the blue x4
Out the blue —
Out the blue x2
