Hues Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cam the Artisan]
Tryna be the man that I'm not yet
Invested in my well being, now a nigga need a return in his profits
Mindset first place, nigga, I'm the king and I'm ready for the conquest
But niggas ain't prepped for the war yet
I been fighting so long and so hard that these niggas start to call me a war vet
Mindset shift ain't easy, uh
These days niggas need Jesus, uh
A song strong enough to believe in, uh
Faith nowadays been recedin', uh
They try to judge a nigga by his cover but as soon as I really open up they can't read 'em
And depending on the niggas that try to switch up you would never open up neither
They don't know how my lifestyle is, they just lookin' from the outside in
And the doubt I been housin' keep me cornered like white kids when they grounded
Man, somebody pray for me, Amen
Is it past due for a— (Major change)
'Cause my past hues gave me— (Major pain)
If I asked you would you—

[Chorus: Cam the Artisan & Chloé]
Tell me what you want from me
Ayy
And do not waste my time
I said tell me what you want from me
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Tell me what you want from me
Ayy
And don't tell me no lies
I said tell me what you want from me
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Tell me what you—
[Interlude: Cam the Artisan]
What are Hues?
Hues are the epitome of emotion (Of emotion)
And even though I'm in motion of being more focused, it's clear that I've devalued my notion to be free
But why me? (Me, me, me...)
Needing a litte bit of Bliss is harder than you'd think
So if I'm asking WYA, I'm asking where are you mentally
I've been dealing with different Langston Hughes
It seems the primary color of my point of view has been mostly blue, that's depression (Depression)
Sadness has mainly been a reflection of my character since an adolescent
But growing up with these adult lessons, I see why I don't pick up my phone to talk to people about my blessings
I peep False Love (Love, love, love...)
And even though the one above keeps me Stressing, I know that one day I'll find love (Love, love, love...)
I mean for the life of me, I couldn't understand why the trifling was so indecisive
Yet, so inspiring
I forgot how emotional humans are
Society as a whole would know that, our Sadderdays unfold when it's time to mold into the better person we were destined to be
But is it Worth It? (Is it Worth It?)
I say, "I" and "me" but really I mean "we" for we all go through the same things
This is my testimony
These are my Hues (Hues, Hues, Hues...)

[Chorus: Cam the Artisan & Chloé]
Tell me what you want from me
Ayy
And do not waste my time
I said tell me what you want from me
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Tell me what you want from me
Ayy
And don't tell me no lies
I said tell me what you want from me
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Tell me what you—
