about
Introducing 'Blue Colla Holla': a Boom Bap anthem for the working class. With a hard-hitting bass line by Matt Mercado of Sonic Palace Studio and clever rhymes, this song is a celebration of the blue-collar hustle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a worker making moves despite the challenges of the daily grind.
lyrics
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla' last dolla' in my pocket
No shocka' hopscotch ya leave ya cryin' for yo' father
Flow prim and propa' go for gold, not coppa'
Old soul, call me baba growing pains, Mr. Trotta'
Run the track like a jogga' outta breath like yo' daughta'
(Ha ha ha)
On her back like an otta' lotta O's when she holla'
I gotta go, I gotta get a couple O's on my dolla'
Blue colla' holla' no drip nada'
No Prada no Fendi though my foes green with envy
Heavy-weight Jack Dempsey — who's dumb to go against me?
I'm sweeter than Nestle — but I swing like Gillespie
Don't test me I'm a whizz, aced every pop quiz
Don't ask how I did it bitch mind your own biz
Got the riz when I'm sprung I never twiddle thumbs
When I hum my humdrum I make dollars from crumbs
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla' I'm a balla' like Melo
Kicked back in my Jordans blue and yellow
Friends call me Harlo — they say I'm ice cold
Play my opps like the cello with my eyes closed
Quips like a bow make the crowd go woah
Dig my nails in the dirt, never trust a hoe
Work hard, play harder that's all I know
Blue colla' holla' hey, that's the motto
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
Blue colla' holla'
Dead prez on my dolla'
Lead pen on the pad
They know I'm a schola'
