Something so wonderful and new
A million colors just for you
It shines in everything you do like violets

Yo blues and greens and violets
Eyes get heavy with the weight of the world
Around the iris

It’s like something insane it’s like a virus
It’s like a hybrid
Of all your joys and your pains
That you bring to the table periodically
And memorize 'em like a scientist

For you to make it dawg
Ya gonna need alliances
A blessing and a prayer from
The whole Archdiocese arch Diocese

Let’s put it to rest
Cuz I’m so in need of one
I only hear about it and
Never really seen it done
Everybody asking when I’m coming out
So when I run a route i take the scenic one

To get away from all that ails me
I return to the place that never fails me
The hues spread the news
Giving color to your frailties

The blues and the greens and
All that’s in between and this is how I mean

One time

Something so wonderful and new
A million colors just for you
It shines in everything you do like violets

Yo blues and greens and violets
Eyes get heavy with the weight of the world
Around the iris
So much that I be appalled to see ‘em
Close your eyes envision the
Cause for freedom but when they open it’s a
Struggle to carpe diem
Cuz the streets is littered
With niggas from mausoleums
Giving up is the last option
So when i spit my last doctrine
I make the audience clap
For my offensive lines
Like they pass blocking i really wanna chill
But I ain’t in that yet
Don't wanna live in excess
Think I need her tonight like INXS
But my mind is talking to me like
"Nigga don’t you send that text" (NO)
Take time to introspect
So you can keep going to get those checks
And give praises
Cuz never before have you been so blessed

When the troubles of the world
Start to ail me
I return to the place that never fails me
The hues spread the news
Giving color to your frailties
The blues and the greens and
All that’s in between
Like that ride it out hey
The blues and the greens and
All that’s in between and this is how I mean

Something so wonderful and new
A million colors just for you
It shines in everything you do like violets
