Redbone Blues
She collects vinyl but she don’t own a turntable
Spotify, Tidal, but every song sounds the same though
Tryin’ to go viral and get signed to a label
But she’s in denial, her only fans wanna rob the cradle
What would you do if you was in her shoes?
Would you feel some type of way, would you feel used?
What would you do for a million views?
Now she all confused with the Redbone Blues
They say it’s all love, ain’t no love over here
When you’ve been gettin’ taken advantage of your whole career
That ain’t no love, don’t you dare call that love, call me crazy
We know what it is, that’s showbiz baby!
Be a father to your daughter, don’t get caught in hot water
Don’t base your whole existence on your childhood trauma
Don’t base your motivation on gettin’ that top dollar
When I called you out your name I meant cuz you a Rottweiler
Top shotta, Lennoxa, big baller
Accept no offer from trick or list crawler
Big mama, talk shit and spit lava
Witch doctor, put a spell on ya Louisiana
They call it love, but love is an emoji
She used to be a princess but knew she wanted more than just a pony
She thinks I’m made of money cuz the radio plays me
Ain’t nobody rich, this is showbiz baby!
She caught me at the co-op, I’m browsing the vegetables
Say she recognize me from the Soundset festival
Let’s make a selfie, let me get presentable
It felt like she believed that I’m more famous than I am though
She says like she feels like she knows me man,
Her older brother used to play us with his homies and
I’m embarrassed I didn’t know how I was supposed to answer
When she told me to subscribe to her Only Fans
I wanted to say no, I can’t
I keep my ducats in a bucket, I’m a rapper on a budget
And I hope you get discovered and you shine like a star
We don’t need to fake fetishize each other from afar
And I don’t want to contradict, I’m all about the empowerment
That you garner off the promise of a dollar
From anonymous followers that probably wouldn’t bother
If they seen you on the side of the road with some car problems
Pretty ass smile and a body that’s fatal
But she’s only a child, 19 with the eyes of an angel
Got them boys goin’ wild, throwin’ pesos on the table
But she’s in denial, cuz all they wanna do is rob the cradle
What would you do if you was in her shoes?
Would you feel some type of way, would you feel used?
What would you do for a million views?
Now she all confused with the Redbone Blues
Redbone Blues
Redbone Blues
Shorty got the Redbone Blues
