Mo' Better Blues

singing with no intention but to have them all witness
some people just prefer fruit from a tree or cup with juice all up in it
to sip on nectar before it inspires the letter he's going to write
and who he's going to write it to to see if she knew he was letting
someone else's apples run down to his shirt seduced by gimmicks
no matter how neon obvious something just isn't following what
he's used to but don't blame him for needing to fulfill seeing color
in fire trying to do what other kids did with it somethings television
just can't give on july 4th it's hard to deny it when it's still within
your vision and all the silly questions asked how come the people
papa raised with him didn't seem distracted by people doing good
impressions of the black skin would be considered sin until addiction
10 more years for adding a little salt to the food on the devils favorites
from the kitchen where known victims of an apple a day cook their favorite
pie baked from crop picked by snakes that were thrown away by eve
simply because she's getting tired of waking up in the morning with no
recollection of her last bite
