The Return Lyrics - Blu

Ayo I never banged, and through it all, never changed my name 

They used to call me Young Blu, before the fame 

Like my cousin Smurf, heard about a OG who used to run the turf 

Then he got merc'd 

Puttin' in work with the Blacks when the Browns was beefin' 

I got my grief in after school with the chicks grievin' 

Like "Blu, thank god that wasn't you", ayo 

One week later, they got my homeboy too, ayo 

Dang, my cousin used to tell me, "Boy watch for them colors. 

Other than that, you be the illest mothafucka" 

So I pushed to the streets, I pushed to the beach 

End up pushin' more raps than I ever pushed trees 

I had beats from the best 

Just to make it known, I was a beast from the West 

Tryna get put on with the Snoops and the Games 

The Cubes and the Pacs 

Next thing you know they bangin' Blu on the block 

My nigga, bang, bang!

When the times get hard in the streets, niggas bang 

When them right bars sit up on the beat, niggas bang 

When niggas sling cocaine all day to make change 

Niggas bang, niggas bang, niggas bang-bang 

Tryna tell ahk, "Watch where you walk", niggas bang 

When that spark set fire to that heart, niggas bang 

From the rollers to the lames, ain't a damn thing change 

My niggas bang, niggas bang, bang-bang 

Now back up on the block, rap shit locked 

Pocket full of money, no crack in my socks 

Shouts to the homies in jail with no bail 

And props to the homies that blow but don't sell 

They be like "Oh well, more room for the real" 

Popped a fake in the face for actin' like I can't tell 

Yeah it feels off but in the hood, I know it ain't 

Should be smellin' all good, but, I know it stank 

Photos 

Tell the homie hold the shank while I blow that dank 

Roll the streets with that cannon like we rollin' tanks 

Unh, gold plates ho, I know they gon' hate 

Might as well get the gold plaques, and the platinum chains 

See me when you see me, 'til then, kiss the genie 

Spell G, me, you could never be me, believe me 

Put the CD on smoke, fuck P's and the hoes 

And them niggas talkin' 'bout they shit bang when it don't 

My nigga, bang, bang 

When the sun is here you realize you go fly and tryna see her [?] 

Screaming try as you lose your voice just tryna be her [?] 

No stranger to the game, but you can't seem to relieve her 

You'll see her, when the morning comes 

When the times get hard in the streets, niggas bang 

When them right bars sit up on the beat, niggas bang 

When niggas sling cocaine all day to make change 

Niggas bang, niggas bang, niggas bang-bang 

Tryna tell ahk, "Watch where you walk", niggas bang 

When that spark set fire to that heart, niggas bang 

From the rollers to the lames, ain't a damn thing change 

My niggas bang, niggas bang, bang-bang 

Ayo, next thing you know, I'm in the county 

With a whole bunch of real OG's surroundin' me 

What you do when your name's Blu 

And you run into a Crip, a Cholo, a Piru? 

And everybody wanna know on the coast, what set you claim 

All my life I had that name, but never banged 

I'm from the Bridge, my folk from the 4th 

East side to the dro, and all the way back home, let it be known 

I got love for my block, love for my color 

Love for my streets, and love for my brother 

But a nigga put his hands on me, we catch fades 

Fuck I look like? 30, gettin' jumped in a gang 

And my peeps say, "How you keep peace these days 

If you ain't got a piece by your reach these days?" 

I say, my nigga, when you victim to the system 

It don't matter what you do, they always fuckin' with you 

So just bang, bang 

When the sun is here you realize you go fly and tryna see her [?] 

Screaming try as you lose your voice just tryna be her [?] 

No stranger to the game, but you can't seem to relieve her 

You'll see her, when the morning comes
