Written by：Phonte Coleman/Miles Davis

Something so wonderful and ya new

2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-1-2

1-2

For you and yours

Tigalo tigalo tigalo tigalo

Yo

Blues and greens and violets

Eyes get

Heavy with the weight og the world

Around the iris

Its like something insane

Its like a virus

Its 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 allainces

A blessing and a prayer from the whole world

Arch diocese trigger

Lets put it to rest

Cuz I'm so in need of one

I only hear about it and I 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 Heus 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 blue 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 its a struggle to carpe diem

Cuz the streets is littered with the niggas from

Mausoleums

Giving up is the last option

So when I spit my last doctrine

I make the audience clap foe my offensive lines

Like they pass blocking

I really wanna chill

But I ain't that yet

Don't want to live in excess

Think I need her tonight

Like inxs

But momma is taliking to me like

Ni**a don't you send that no

Take time to introspect

So you can keep going

To get those checks

And giving praises

Cuz never before have you been so blessed

When the trouble of the world

Starts 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

One time

Something so wonderful and new

A million colors just for you

It shines in everything you do

Like violets

Like violets

Like violets

Like violets

Like violets

Like violets
