Lyrics

Use These Blues

I get upset
When people let their ignorance
Cloud their open heart

I get upset
When people let their ignorance
Cloud their open heart

My story ain't yours, brother
Allow a sister to impart

I get uptight
When people get too black and white
I get uptight
When people get too black and white

My roots are gray so every day
I struggle with divisive spite

I get undone
When people see my kindness as dumb
I get undone
When people see my kindness as dumb

Just because I bite my tongue
Don't think I don't see you truthful, son

I get some juice
When we're bold enough to step in awkward truths

I get some juice
When we're bold enough to step in awkward truths

If we can't walk our talk
Then sister and brother
What's the use

END
