Varsity Blues - Murs

What up though?

Welcome to Varsity Blues

My personal therapy EP for colored boys

It’s when you start to get a gut

And you don’t go out as much

You and your own homeboys barely even stay in touch

You be doin' too much

You tryin' to build a career

Got a one bedroom and a fridge full of beer

You smokin' cigarettes like it’s goin' outta style

Used to be strugglin now you gettin' dough in piles

On the real you haven’t been truely happy in awhile

Yo mind ain’t right cause you got issues on file

That you been building since a child and still haven’t dealt with

Thanks to Hennessy and chronic you haven’t felt shit

But once you sober up it’s like your brain is blowin' up

You get headaches and can’t sleep

You nervous for no reason

When everything is quiet you can hear ya heart beatin'

Start poundin' hella fast and you feel like you tweekin'

I’m speakin' to y’all who know what it’s like

And might have to be on medication for the rest of ya life

It’s for them varsity blues

To all of my dudes

Who hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose

It’s for them varsity blues

To my backpackin' crews

Who hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose

It’s for them varsity blues

To my rips and taboos (?)

Who hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose

It’s for the varsity blues

To all of y’all who pay dues

Still hustle hard and never learnt the meaning of lose

It’s when you been with the same girl for over a year

Knowing deep in your heart that marriage is ya greatest fear

How you supposed to settle down with all these ladies out here?

So many different types: Black, Latin, and White

Now ya girl might be tight, but she’s not the only one

And this is your life and you got only one

To live, so live it up

Or do you give it up?

That’s why I’m singin' the blues for y’all who know what’s up

If your girl cheats on you, she’s a whore, she’s a slut

But if you do the same thing, you just bein' a man

Now we can truely understand what our fathers went through

I know you cheated on your girl and it’s botherin' you

But she’ll never find out cause she was out with the crew

And she can’t be hurt by what she never knew

But deep down inside you wanna tell her the truth

But if you do, she might leave so what should you do?

It’s varsity blues cause I landed in

Most every hood activity and rap Mid City

To retire from these streets that for years attempted killin' me

My hood and dead homies will forever live in me

Keepin' me inspired through the drama life’s giving me

I willingly sacrifice my life on these beats

So when I play it back I kill the demons in my sleep

Or at least to understand why I am the way I am

Mean-spirited and angry and I don’t give a damn

Mad at the world, that’s why I never had a girl

Incapable of lovin' anyone who could betray me

She made out with my best friend, it sorta drove me crazy

Along with the store that I opened down in AZ

And at the same time I blew the engine on my Cadillac

Cost me seven Gs so you know that set me back

Which eqauls varsity blues and panic attacks
