Shady Blu drops the lyric video for the new “Jealousy” song. Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track.

Shady Blu Jealousy

Shady Blu has been on the rise for a bit now. Last year, the California singer/songwriter was signed to MixedByAli’s NoName Recordings. She and Ali had been working together since she sent the engineer, who has worked with Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar, some of her early work over Instagram.

Now, Shady has given fans a taste of her upcoming new project with “Jealosy.” It’s a song perfect for the summer heat, with spacious tropical synths backing Blu’s low-key delivery. Her music video doubles down on the summer vibes, ending with a backyard pool party. But the song’s lyrics are not so care-free. Blu sings of friends poisoned with envy. “You really mad that I’m blessed with achievements?” she sings. Shady, however, is determined not to let the jealousy surrounding her get her down. “It won’t get the best of me,” she declared on the hook, an earworm which glides over a laid-back beat.

Lyric Video

Lyrics

[Intro]
Old friends, new fans
Stack money, new Benjamins
Dada-dada, da, da-da

[Verse 1]
I can’t tell if it’s love, this shit get kinda tricky
Like you playing your role and then you plottin’ against me
You iffy, it really shows, it’s like you letting me know
Like it’s your goal, these niggas moving like hoes
And I can see it, don’t wanna believe it it
You really mad that I’m blessed with achievements?
Down bad and trying my best to receive it
You hate and made it a speciality

[Chorus]
It won’t get the best of me (Me, yeah)
What you blind to you mad the world gon’ see (The world gon’ see, yeah)
Or is it ’cause you knew what I would be?
Instead of happy, you envy me
Cut it off, I can’t fuck with your energy
You better off at just playin’ a enemy
He knock a opp out his socks if he kin to me

[Verse 2]
Like why so mad that I cannot lose?
I don’t, I don’t know why because I let God choose
I lost my mind in the time that I grew (I grew)
I bet you couldn’t wait a mile In my shoes
A heavy weight I gain (A heavy weight I gain)
My thoughts would drive you insane
Oh, what a shame, what a lost, I’ve cried in pain
Or do you still want to be me?

[Chorus]
It won’t get the best of me (It won’t get the best of me)
What you blind to you mad the world gon’ see (Mad the world gon’ see)
Or is it ’cause you knew what I would be?
Instead of happy, you envy me (Envy me)
Cut it off, I can’t fuck with your energy (Energy)
You better off at just playin’ a enemy
He knock a opp out his socks if he kin to me

[Bridge]
A victim of jealousy
Shady
A victim of jealousy (Lalala, la-da, da-da, da)
Shady
A victim of jealousy
Shady
A victim of jealousy (Lalala, la-da, da-da, da)

[Outro]
Old friends, new fans
Stack money, new Benjamins
