Songwriter: James Blake ​blackbear

Producer: Runner Phoenix ​blackbear

Take a good look around
And tell me what do you see

I never heard such a sound
It brings me down to my knees

So when you take a good look around
Tell me what you see

Miles of broken homes
Traded my soul for the city of dreams

My brother and my sister
My brother and my sister
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
But I don't blame them (I don't blame them)
My brother and my sister
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
But I don't blame them (I don't blame them)

My father gave me away
My daddy gave me a name
It don't matter what they say
This one's TJ, James, and Jade

I don't worry about the future too much
I don't worry about the future
I know I should
But I traded my whole soul for the game
But I traded my whole soul for the city of fame

My brother and my sister
My brother and my sister
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
But I don't blame them (I don't blame them)
My brother and my sister
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me
But I don't blame them
But I don't blame them
But I don't blame them
Why should I blame them
Why should I blame them
But I don't blame them
Why should I blame them
But I don't blame them

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
