lyrics
85 where you at doe?
Class of 86 where you at yo?
Class of 87 where you at doe?
88, 89, into 19-90!
91 where you at doe?
Class of 92 where you at yo?
Class of 93 where you at doe?
And 94! We gon' party like it’s 1995!
I’ll throw my cares to the wind
Good times I’m welcoming in
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
Who’ll care for my dreams if I don’t
Find some way to stay afloat
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
I remember back when rappers used to move they body
Little Ricky La Di Da Di baby we like to party
Made our own jams, DJ pumping music through the speaker
Went from fresh to saggy ass jeans, (and a wife-beater)
Need a little love….
Y'all don’t even feel the drums,
Sure ya sold a million records you ain’t give the hood none!
What happened to the whole point of music
They dilute it and reuse it, not original a cynical view of brothas pursuing a dream.
And I just wanna dance again
Rhythm running through ya body like it's master cleanse
See that girl on the floor with that ass again
Bump Snoop with some juice and a glass of gin
Let the top down jeans and a T-Shirt mane
A little Tribe Called Quest and some reverb mane
See I be hearing something different from what he heard mane
I heard that real music’s really coming back again and say what?
I’ll throw my cares to the wind
Good times I’m welcoming in
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
Who’ll care for my dreams if I don’t
Find some way to stay afloat
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
I can’t even really think about what you be stressing
I articulate the lesson they receive it it’s a blessing
Here’s a lesson if ya listen man ya killin' off ya people, (should be honoring ya loved ones)
Honoring ya people
Incidentally mental slavery will block ya if ya let it,
Don’t be silly all these rappers and perspectives are pathetic
Get it right or get it wrong or get arrested singing songs ya probably though defined ya life and so ya live it for a minute will it ever stop?
Will it ever quit?
We need to dig a little deeper in this bullshit!
I Feel emancipated, still it’s very segregated, nothing’s been alleviated, everything’s abbreviated, daily I’m inebriated, feeling like my team done made it, still it’s just a dream and hate it, something I anticipated, many dreams have dissipated but I’m still here…
And I’mma chase these blues like I have no fear….check it!
(Bridge)
You can fly Lear jets, have the biggest baguette’s, have girls in burlesque, sign the biggest of checks, and it don’t mean nothin it’s just too much stress I
If it ain’t got cash, and it ain’t gone last, it just went too fast, all the time den passed, talking all that jazz, ya know what I’m gonna do i
Chase these blue’s away….
I’ll throw my cares to the wind
Good times I’m welcoming in
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
Who’ll care for my dreams if I don’t
Find some way to stay afloat
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
I say Rock to the rhythm ya don’t stop the rhythm to the rhythm of the boogity beat (Uh-Huh)
I said Rock to the rhythm ya don’t stop the rhythm to the rhythm of the boogity beat (C’Mon)
I say Rock to the rhythm ya don’t stop the rhythm to the rhythm of the boogity beat (Look Here)
I say Rock to the rhythm ya don’t stop the rhythm to the rhythm of the boogity beat, the beat, the beat!
I’ll throw my cares to the wind
Good times I’m welcoming in
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
Who’ll care for my dreams if I don’t
Find some way to stay afloat
Everybody let’s Chase These Blues
