Blueslides Lyrics
Artist: Schoolboy Q
"Blueslides" by Schoolboy Q is a deep dive into personal reflection and the grappling with loss, showcasing a different, more introspective side of the artist. This track contrasts with the bolder, more assertive tones found in other parts of his discoography, including his latest offering, "Back N Love." Produced by Tae Beast, Mario Luciano, and Jason Wool, "Blueslides" features Schoolboy Q in a vulnerable state, reflecting on his hiatus, personal struggles, and particularly the loss of Mac Miller, a close friend and fellow artist.
The song's lyrics weave through themes of overcoming adversity, the pain of loss, and the oursuit of purpose amidst turmoil. Q ruminates on the impact of losing a friend to drugs, a direct nod to Mac Miller, and the personal resolve to move forward and not succumb to backward steps. This narrative is presented over a soulful beat that complements the introspective nature of the lyrics, making "Blueslides" a poignant tribute as well as a meditation on growth and resilience.
Schoolboy Q's approach to "Blueslides" marks a significant thematic departure from the more aggressive and boastful nature of "Back N Love," showcasing his versatility as an artist. While "Back N Love" dives into his rekindled passion for music, "Blueslides" serves as a reflective piece, acknowledging the complexities of life and the music industry. The juxtaposition of these two tracks highlights Schoolboy Q's ability to navigate a broad emotional and thematic range, engaging with both his personal experiences and his artistic aspirations.
The inclusion of "Blueslides" in Schoolboy Q's album "Blue Lips" underscores the personal significance of the track within the broader context of the album. By sharing his vulnerabilities and tribulations, Q invites listeners into a more intimate understanding of his journey, making "Blueslides" a standout track that resonates on a deeply emotional level.
Blueslides Lyrics
Blueslides by Schoolboy Q
Don't you dare walk away now
Don't leave me quite so high and dry
I hope you don't leave it all inside
Yo, uh
Blue slides, I've been slidin' through your whole sh*t, yeah
Presidential Rollies, I took big risks, uh
We split the profit with the people, we be all lit
Top ten, not ten, b**ch, we all in
Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh
Better climb out of that hole before you f**k up your blessings
'Fore you realize that it's over with and start to get desperate
Keep your mind, body on pressure, give your time when it's needed
Know a man gon' be a man, if he don't work, he ain't eatin'
How you made it up out of Figg'? It's like he musta knew magic
Lost a homeboy to the drugs, man, I ain't tryna go backwards
When I realize that it's ... her and think, "Was it worth it?"
Man I gotta shake this sh*t, wake up and move with a purpose
Been in prison in my own house, I don't know if they noticed
I done broke down so many times, next time, it gon' catch me
I done helped out so many people, they took me for granted
I done lost out on so much sh*t tryna live to your standards
I done made problems my problems, now I barely can breathe
The lil' boy father 'bout nothin', so I roll up my sleeve
I was always good at errythang, especially my dreams
But lately, I ain't really been myself, ain't strong as I seemed
I been hustlin', day in, day out, belong to the streets
But sometimes you gotta be a deadbeat when the kids gotta eat
But, schyeah, chee-chee, nigga
Sweeter than the ocean
Ooh-ooh, ah
On God, it's like, uh
Blue slides, I've been slidin' through your whole sh*t
Presidential Rollies, I took big risks
We split the profit with the people, we be all lit
Top ten, not ten, b**ch, we all in
Blue slides, I've been slidin' through your whole sh*t, yeah, damn
Kickin' all that gangster sh*t and checked in
Heavy in these streets, to me, it weighed thin
Got me a little money, now we best friends
If Kamala freed the homies we'd be all lit
Really tried to strike me out, the reason why I don't miss
You hate me then, but love me now, say your peace, I'll hold it down
The shady on these Holy grounds, the devil on the TV, gotta act like they creepy
You niggas see what I see? You niggas really cancel your—, nigga, I ain't with it, nah
We was screamin', "Mental health," and now we wanna kill 'em all
Lord, please forgive me for the day I finally fall apart
Come to you with open arms, heard you're good at healin' hearts
Some things you can explain, dealin' with that early pain
Nigga, they don't want you up, our own people vulture us
I don't see what I respect, your whole sh*t is all regrets
Better day, I started fresh, blue slides, I'm on they neck
Yeah, ah, uh
Blue slides, I've been slidin' through they whole sh*t (Ayy, ayy)
Presidential Rollies, I took big risks (Ayy)
We split the profit with the people, we be all lit
Top ten, not ten, but we all in, come on
Huh, yeah, yeah, oh, sh*t, nigga
Blue slides, I've been slidin' through your whole sh*t
Call Top unless you heard from God
