"I heard you n*ggaz don't like me I know you boyz wanna fight me I know where your kids and your wife be Bust a n*gga's head to the white meat" How u luv dat? John Keats don't know shit about this.

“I heard you n*ggaz don’t like me
I know you boyz wanna fight me
I know where your kids and your wife be
Bust a n*gga’s head to the white meat”

Google it, you get about 20,000 results, whereas "bluest night" gives you fewer than 200, and many of those refer to this song. David-

Especially since blue nights tend to be more common in the warmer months (when flowers are around) because of the tilt of the Earth. Though I guess I'm speaking as a northerner. This might not mean so much to anyone who lives closer to the tropics and equator. You're right though, it's a good line, and it moves me to imagine such a night, which "blackest" wouldn't do so easily.
