[ Blue ]

[ To Your Face ]
[ But Once They Leave Your Place ]
[ They Make Everything About Race ]

[ Sometimes When I’m In A Quiet Place ]
[ My Mind Is So Loud ]
[ It’s Like Someone Came In & Got Up In Front Of My Face ]
[ & Then The Room Filled Up With The Voices Of A Crowd ]

[ I Call My Thoughts Clouds Because They Float In & Out ]
[ When A Cloud Stops ]
[ I Sit There & Wonder What This Cloud Will Be All About? ]

[ What’s The Subject ]
[ Why Did It Stop ]
[ If I Object ]
[ Would The Cloud Pop? ]

[ I’ve Never Heard A Cloud Pop & Then Watched It Fall Out Of My Sky ]
[ Then I’d Ask Myself [ WHY ] ]

[ Why Didn’t I Take On That One ]
[ It Looked Serious ]
[ Was I Always Looking For Something Fun? ]

[ If I Am, Then I’m In The Wrong Head ]
[ Maybe Those Thoughts Are For Someone Who’s Always
Happy Instead ]

[ I Should Have Taken A Risk & Toughed It Out ‘Till The End ]

[ No Matter The Subject, I Need To Meet It Head On ]
[ Solve The Problem Or Issue ]
[ Until The Cloud Is Gone ]

[ I’ve Found That I Cannot Run From The Clouds That Are
Floating In My Head ]
[ An Aspirin Or Stronger Med ]
[ Doesn’t Help Me Fall Asleep On My Bed ]

[ I Can Feel The Ghosts Of My Past Coming Back To Say [ HELLO ] ]
[ They Especially Come Out When I’m The Most Mellow ]
[ Do I See Blue, Black, Red Or Yellow? ]

[ How Do The Clouds Make Me Feel? ]
[ The Cloud Itself May Be Imaginary ]
[ But The Problems Are Real ]

[ How I Feel Could Be The Gauge Of Whether The Day Will Be
Good Or Bad ]
[ When The Cloud Has That Much Control Of My Day ]
[ It Makes Me Sad ]

[ It Could Also Be The Healing Power For My Soul ]

[ Throughout The Past Days, People Only Followed The Leader ]
[ Even Though He Was A Cheater ]

[ He Was Given A Position Of Power ]
[ He Did Not Show Any Leadership Hour After Hour ]

[ He Found Out That He Did Not Have To Play Nice ]
[ So Then It Seemed That Not Telling The Truth Became
     His New Vice ]

[ Lies, Lies, Lies ]
[ He Told Them To All Of The Girls & Guys ]

[ Most People Had Alot Of Doubt ]
[ Of Seeing How Or If Someone Could Figure This Guy Out ]

[ Nobody Thought His Reign Over The Land Would Last ]
[ But Year After Year Went Past ]

[ The Longer That He Ruled ]
[ More People Started Following Him After They Dropped Out
     Of School ]

[ He Ruled With An Iron Fist ]
[ & He Expected His Followers To Do Everything That Was
     Written On His Very Long List ]

[ His Followers Would Do Anything For Him ]
[ If A Family Member Tried To Change Someones Mind ]
[ Chances Were Really Slim ]

[ Nobody Thought His Followers Would Go This Far ]
[ They Really Think That He Is Their Guiding Star ]

[ How Could His Power Go Beyond This Countries Borders? ]
[ But There He Was Last Night On The T.V. Giving His Orders ]

[ Telling That Country To Do This ]
[ & This Country To Do That ]
[ He Even Directed A German Country To Attack The Swiss ]

[ It Is Much Easier To Go In With Experience & Knowledge
     Than To Go In Blindly ]
[ Having No Knowledge May Not Treat You, Very Kindly ]

[ But From What You Surmise ]
[ Would A Surprise ]

[ Be The One To Blame? ]

[ Then You Have The Pain To Move Up & Down Your Chest ]

[ Everything Is Upside Down ]
[ The Politicians Are Not Leading ]
[ Because Washington Is A Circus Full Of Clowns ]

[ In America’s Biggest Crisis They Don’t Feel The Need ]
[ To Lead ]
[ Or Give More Money For Families To Feed ]

[ Their Own ]
[ Or Pay On Their Loans ]
[ For Their Homes ]

[ That Totally Changes What A Comfortable Life Looks
