This album was inspired by the time I had in 510 up in Kerr Hall, hence the play on words. It was a very dreary time when a roommate bails and you're on your own. Women consume you and you try to find your way in a big university that you never truly could.
lyrics
This is where you left me
Touched by the bitches I see
And by the time that I leave
You won’t care to retrieve
What we shared in the moment
Together, I thought it was more
Than I could bare to expose
Even with the doors closed
You still open me up
Cause I know some shit will never change
Never gonna be the same cause I’ll break the pattern I made
Chorus:
5-1-0 (I’m beyond this bullshit)
5-1-0 (I’ll run my mouth with this)
5-1-0 (I’ll seal it with a kiss)
If you know my name then I still hold the reign
I’m doing something right so you can’t play this
Game, this is the core of what I feel
Got to keep it real when I sing these blues, blues (Don’t you care)
Blues, blues (Don’t you care)
Blues, blues (Don’t you care)
Blues, blues (Don’t you care)
Got me thinking about 510
And all the memories that lie within
Don’t you remember what happened then
Wondering where I have been
Cause you wouldn’t notice if I was there, will I break
The pattern I made, hopefully I can make that change
5 10 blues, blues (Don’t you care)
5 10 Blues, blues (Don’t you care)
5 10 Blues, blues (Don’t you care)
5 10 Blues, blues (Don’t you care)
...
Can’t even find my place
And ooh I cannot erase
This pain to suffer
Just trying to find my grace
Amazing they say
If I could do it over
Don’t you care don’t you care don’t you care
These blues make me wishing
For more money less problems
Hopefully they can solve em for my sake, my sake
Cause petty problems grow pretty
When you’re missing the goddamn city
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
I’m so cold
And alone out here
And alone out here
And alone out here
And alone out here
And alone
Loneee
Ohhh
Yeahhhhhh
Oh na no no no
