Clear Blue Skies Lyrics

[Hook: Sample]

[Verse 2: Breeze Brewin as the Father and Son]
“Well, I’ll be damned ‘cause it seems that I’m the last to know
My father’s a bigot, my girl’s black, he can’t dig it, so she has to go.”

“Now you’re judging me, kid, but do you know me?”
“But it seems to me like even David Duke could be your homie.”
“Now, you know I ain’t no racist, but they place us in a terrible predicament
They’re taking over the block, and, damn it, son, I’m sick of it”
“But when you see the neighbors you say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’”
“Still I think of how the value of my property’s been ruined.”
“You sound like such an idiot, I pity it, I wonder: should I laugh or should I cry?
More than anything, I want a reason why
All of a sudden, the blood in your vein flows with such vigor

Just because you choose to call another person ‘nigga.’”

“Well, they’re just some thugs stealing, slum-dwelling, drug-dealing, gun-selling
And a-hundred-yard-dashing after doing purse-snatching
Damn savages who ravages the buckets of
Kentucky Fried Chicken with the first dibs on the ribs
Looking like a damn monkey on the football fields
And basketball courts, taking over sports

Leaving us just the golf and the tennis and they menacing society, the bums
They should go the fuck to where they came from.”
“So that’s your vision of perfection, that’s your clear-blue skies
Through those clear-blue eyes which seem to make you think you’re better

But instead of simply sinking to the level of your thinking, I’ll be ghost”
“Pack your bags, nigga-lover, and good riddance”
[Hook: Sample]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
