Change the way you blue

Let me tell you about Ohio

what I know kind of chilling

About 250 million years prior

ice spume so Frigid blue then

the froze expired Which exposed

a crack in Ohio way back

When Adams County Wasn’t around

still they found it down below

Dragged in and mounded

it so the Sir pent

A medal made of gold and flint

On his chest with his hand

To Our flag the only circle

pennant Left out of fifty states what’s the reason

We endure all seasons in a setting that’s

worth keeping the circle tight

Natural form then forge a Weapon from what’s Left

On the ground in the trench Lie Residue

It is the Opposite of blue

Is it Not on your hands but

now the sky Cries every hue coincides with our skin to

We have sight to see the prism spectator beware

We freed of all fashions of stagnation and prisons

We bring Heat and make fire with flint from earth

In ohio we are so bright

Lights night Edison is like the moon To gather when the seas Engulf the gold star in a fiery rage

The water is fine the lighthouse says

Tesla is the best one

Now To balance the flame in your palm

You have to be un deaf to learn it

Have Discernment

It’s the age of clear vision

Ushered in twenty by twenty

look at you Ohio beautiful colored Aqua areas above your pocket Shape Erie Lake with blood on our kids face

It’s “ Anti” Ask Mrs Fenty

What’s humility Drop the facts I got plenty

and here are we

broken Humanity stuck at

a time and a time and

A half again

Always in good militia men Native kin spun negative

still best defeat to have ever been

Ohh Americans they lost friends

St. Clair shame is evidence

Still we the great river

For ever flowing timeless presence

Leave our essence on the vastness

Even in drought no doubt nor

Azure on the shores

I’m sure it’s a haven

High Precedence

Breed Your President

To unknown Heights

20th century gave you flight

Wright to blue skies it’s our vibe

we attract the wealthy is alive

the wealthiest of mind is yours and mine

We the something blue in a union

Rockefeller knew it well

What do you know of Miss Chadwick in

East Cleveland on Millionaire Row

Perspective and Judgment plays the role

The area code it’s nothing there though

that’s what they think

let that sink breathe a little easy amid the smoke

unbetrothed the opposer above ground

no longer are we under

Move like wind freely

Birthed the gas mask

To hinder the choke

Clear the chakra

Oh hi one

our favorite number

We love our Mother to for number Two

we created diapers for you

don’t fear dark the secret place

Is in you light it electric blue with your tools

Pole ice sticks to tongue

As if you don’t hear us speak

Still we link to hear a

Christmas Story

From mnemosyne

Forward going change

with plenty to offer

double up the change on the register who knew a

Brown man

taught ya now it’s

Easier to shop what I brought from abroad

Why Trade by the banks

if you think then you thank

full of light so graceful so grateful for the food

and maker of the table we

“Made men” what you say man

give it to Ohio we got it going on

tough as Teflon that to we invented

The first police car was here toot toot

No car of that type should radiate fears

We low-key royal baby

blue is the longest color

Travels the deepest under the water

3 Color only matters on the roads for

The speed to be cohesive we share the regions

We posted something right worlds first traffic light you face it everyday

Giving you direction in your face still saving

lives here Comes the first black woman in college

No surprise

We change the times you

can use your cell phone

To change the way you blue

a bright black man

allotted it to you if

Time traveled you brought him

first run away train yeah we caught him

checkered past won’t last

First shot of world war one was from an Ohioan

We start revolutions

take aggression to the field

then we created the NFL first team

Sunday’s have a new meaning

AA meeting gonna need them

if you a fan of Cleveland

Be patients the blue birds wings are brown

pending on the wavelength and vibration

over stand the statement

fly high beyond the sky it’s

not undoable Ohio and lead you to

the moon and out of this world

Like Superman we take the highroad in

Ohio no going back we invented

saddles here for that is a high horse

I know I make you unhate

navigate the roads in a vehicle

Because an inhabitant of the Buckeye state

Made it 1891

Not so fun at time with loss manners

Slick like salamanders

Cold slippery roads mean grave danger

So salt we-gave you to bless the pavement

You ought to know we loath hate

Switch up the pace embrace us

we life savers oh so hard and sweet

still we are the first to take a swing at bat

then along came the MLB from we

see now it’s a Billion dollar “Thing”

you win a cup and get a ring

Want to sing got a soul rock ‘n’ roll is our home

as you see we off the scale

Unmeasured greatness resides here

Richter knew it peep the papers they prove it

now is the time stand tall and witness

with your eye Mr. James change your mind on life

All them rings and everything I promise

Mr. Rice had no time to

His ring is of the toe tagged cold and blue

at the park on the crest of his life

whats a hue to you

hue man is two words as one

no pun attend the thought

we are greater hue man beings

Ohio kindred have been changing

our living sense all beginnings

Why hurt the children we create lifestyles

and solve problems that’s on all of us

if you are Blue here is what you do

no matter what’s around here

the only thing that crooked is the Cuyahoga

Can I hug you to show you

I love you in spite of the plight

we take flight we love and light

to protect the lives matter of fact

to wear blue is to say you are structured

see the color only appears in nature on animals through evolution have patience you got wings to fly

towards life

butterfly that’s right utter rights

and abundance

for if pain be mergence

we created the ambulance service in Ohio too

It’s disturbing what’s the chances

some blues can’t stand us

brain is the melon in us

water it to grow it’s just us

Hue mans.

CHANGE THE WAY YOU BLUE.
