Andre 3000 - A Rich Shade Of Blue Lyrics






You see all these people out here on this street, Eddie
See they got blues
I'm talking 'bout they poor
They broke, they hungry, that's blues

Well, the blues can live in Buckhead too
I know it's just a richer shade of blue
But it's still blue, I can feel it, listen

He got everything he want
But everything he need money don't buy
Now if that ain't blues I'll say listen, oh

They look at you
All they see is dollar sign
Now if that ain't blues I'll say listen
A rich shade of blue

Okay, okay, you snappin', you snappin'
A rich shade of blue
Well, I'm just playing what I feel and it sure feels good
A rich shade of blue

I see I'ma have to bring you down to Bankhead more often
'Cause you goin' off
A rich shade of blue
Or we can take it to Buckhead and do it Peachtree style
A rich shade of blue

Everybody fall down sometime, yeah, just like that
Oh, but you gotta get back to the place where they know your face
And they don't mind if you cry sometimes
They listen 'cause they cry too

Ooh, that's right, right, right
A rich shade of blue
I guess it ain't where you from, it's where you at
A rich shade of blue

It's my birthday and I'm having the best worst time of my life
A rich shade of blue
Man, we stand out on this corner any longer
You gon' make me rich
A rich shade of blue

Andre 3000 A Rich Shade Of Blue Comments
  1. T.... D....

    I feel like Andre 3000 made this song just because he’s rich, lol.

  2. j.... c....

    So I've been watching all the music videos from Class of 3000 and all I think when the art changes is how Danganronpa does the same thing and it makes me laugh thinking that Andre is actually trying to do the same thing as Hope's Peak HS

    j.... c....

    Wouldn't that be in reverse lol

  3. J.... H....

    Such great and unique shows back then. Honestly, they need to find ways to bring back all the oldies cause that was the best generation.

  4. J.... R....

    I remember this! This show was awesome!

  5. K.... G....

    You know, funny thing is, I started to remember how I saw this episode as a kid & began repeating the same phrase of this song. "A Rich Shade of Blue!". I didn't know why but looking back, I actually realized that I love this Song. I even had it stuck in my head for a while when I go to school. Not to mention how I loved to sing. Yet, I guess it lead me to where I am with Music & Singing. It's just amazing. It's just awesome to have memories like this. And this Song is one I'll never forget. At all until the end.

  6. K.... G....

    I remember this song as a Kid. I didn't understand at first but as I got older, I've seen how hard life is to all of us. However today, I'm still poor. But you know what, I'm strong to keep going & work hard. No matter what problems come ahead, I'll still overcome them for as long as I live.

  7. R.... C....

    1:33 is what sticks with me.

  8. Y.... A....

    I was like 7-9 years old watching this everyday it's been like 3 years

  9. P.... S....

    I now play drums.. crazy I remembered about this show because I'm high af its amazing

  10. T.... S....

    1:51 _Mission Passed_ *Lawsuit Avoided*

  11. T.... ....

    B.... W....

    Brandon Williams I do.

  13. I.... P....

    Man...I swear I hate that I forget how powerful this tv show was. 2018 and 2019 can use a lot of this right now

  14. P.... T....

  15. A.... I....

    This show was beautiful the changing of the art style was great

  16. A.... M....

    This show was amazing!!

  17. A.... G....

    Just a quick reminder from Aundre that kids should appreciate what they have.

  18. A.... T....

    Who’s here in 2019??

  19. H.... ....

    This show actually introduced me to blues as a kid

  20. A.... J....

    2019 and I'm STILL grooving to this

  21. M.... ....

    I woke up this morning and this tune started playing in my head. I had to come and listen to it this show was so good

  22. A.... M....

    Andre said 2 years ago he will continue this show i guess Cartoon Network didnt agree. I am sorry im not hating but today’s cartoons are crap lol i loved this show and the songs are so good for kids and adults.

    A.... M....

    You are telling the truth. Lol

  23. H.... S....

    2019 and still bumpin this 😂😂

  24. E.... M....

    Funny how some of the lyrics to this song sounds so familiar 💕

  25. g.... g....

    quiet commentary on race at the end

  26. M.... S....

    I miss this show

  27. C.... ....

    And they don't mind if you cry sometimes, they listen... Cause they cry too...

  28. i.... i....

    This use to be my show

  29. S.... 1....

    who listening in 2018

  30. S.... I....

    This show was so GOOD

  31. D.... E....

    damn i miss so much this ...and these days.

  32. T.... M....

    Glad Eddie got a taste of what it feels like to be poor, not that he deserved it but at least he won't be like a rich fat cat growing up.

  33. T.... N....

    Back in my day cartoons weren't so hand fisted with their messages. They could tell a moving moral in a simple song and you wouldn't even have minded it. Every 90s-2000s kid says to modern children.

  34. F.... S....

    I miss when music took had deep soul

  35. J.... W....

    Man I miss watching class of 3000 on cartoon Network back in 2006

  36. m.... s....

    No matter what, suffering comes in all forms. Everyone has problems. No matter their status or upbringing. Blue has many shades, so does suffering and sadness. Misfortune doesn't discriminate.

  37. D.... J....

    Man this show had some real songs. These were some deep songs on this show.

  38. c.... ....

    God bless you for posting these videos family!!!!

  39. M.... ....

    To pimp a butterfly?

  40. O.... A....

    the good old times.......

  41. A.... ....

    This show was before its time and was heavily underrated

  42. T.... D....

    'Oh that poor boy in designer socks seen some hard hard times'
    I swear that part always gets me

  43. C.... M....

    You when you look at it, this song could be a REAL fitting lesson for MLP:FIM, ESPECIALLY to the UPPER CRUST'S of CANTERLOT. For even though we don't see it much, even THEY had hard times & days like this once in their lives.

  44. h.... d....

    RIP Eric. ill miss you buddy

  45. S.... P....

    The good days of cartoon network

  46. T.... F....

    Man I miss this show so much😞❤️

  47. k.... r....

    Song made me learn the to play the piano, Those keys still hit me

    k.... r....

    <3 the chords are simply beautiful

  48. C.... ....

    This show over exaggerated a rich stereotypical yet still humanized him!!!

  49. k.... ....

    Holy fuckamoly? Eddie is voiced by Spongebob. Damn.

    k.... ....

    And 1/2 of CatDog. Tom Kenny.

  50. J.... L....

    Music changed for the worse

  51. L.... A....

    now out all the songs on Class of 3000 this was my favorite besides Gorilla Zoo and Giant Blob

    L.... A....

  52. T.... M....

    This song is genius

  53. W.... W....

  55. B.... o....

    2017 and this is the first song I listened to. I just need a Richer Shade of Blue every year.

  56. J.... S....

    THIS SHOW GOT ME INSPIRED TO BE PLAY MUSIC

  57. S.... ....

    This show was so ahead of its time.

  58. J.... A....

    Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000
    Did your childhood happy

  59. B.... ....

  60. J.... ....

  61. T.... ....

    By far my most favorite song from this show.

  62. A.... V....

    uhh man when little d or wuts his name again i forgot when he explains blues really hits ya cause it true man

  63. b.... m....

    S.... G....

    "YoU wAnT CrInGe CaRtOoN lIkE TTG, yOu GoT iT."

    Yup, happens so often these day compare to decade ago.

  65. k.... ....

    This is one of my favorite Class of 3000 songs! =w=

  66. i.... ....

    this is beautiful

  67. i.... ....

    Omg this show was amazing

  68. C.... H....

    this show pulled cartoon network out of the dark ages

    C.... H....

    Cameron Holt would be dope for a return

    C.... H....

    Cameron Holt - This show didn't pull Cartoon Network of the dark ages. It was one of the last good shows from their best years before the dark ages began from 2007-2012.

    C.... H....

    Larissa ᴄᴏʟʟᴇᴇɴ in with you but scared they my "teen Titans go"it .

    C.... H....

    Nope that was Adventure Time, but I kinda feel what you're saying

    C.... H....

    The golden era went from the cartoon cartoon era, through the city era and finally ending around the noods era so 1999-2009.
    The silver age would last from 2009 to 2013. This was during the time of Starwars, Ben 10 with its iterations, flap jack, chowder, adventure time, regular show etc. The dark age would be from 2013 with the introduction of teen titans go and a pretty lack luster diversity of cartoons that kinda stretched till recently. Only time will tell if the upcoming cartoons will mark a new era

  69. B.... ....

    Real message

  70. E.... ....

    one of the only cartoons that took place somewhere OTHER THAN Newyork/california/florida.. .... Andre 3000 be reppin ATL.. We need more variety.. seriously.. and I ain't even from ATL. lol.

  71. g.... ....

    this is one of those beats that literally sticks with you for years. love it

    g.... ....

    soooooo so true... Only now, I actually understand the message as well, which makes me love this 10000x more

    g.... ....

    MY GOD.. SO TRUE.

  72. K.... B....

    this business world the past i.e. the person who wanted to do a show directly like this can haunt people out of the blue like andre 3000 he didn't have no idea he wanted to do this in 1999 but the other person's idea was rejected...you know i don't know why both could've teamed up and worked together on it i mean they both want the same thing for him to be stubburn meaning that other guy who sued the show is dumb he obvisouly didn't know maybe if we work together on this i can look away from him trying to steal my idea cause he didn't mean no harm...but idiot's don't focus and for him to sue him tells you that he don't care about no one but himself and greed, money...that's a shame. that person should take a lesson from this right here

  73. A.... T....

    what the hell I didn't remember sunny being in this?! :O

  74. j.... ....

    2016 still listening

  75. A.... G....

    Honestly, this show was ahead of its of time. Big ideas here.

  76. D.... ....

    the old lady's comment makes me laugh everytime

  77. L.... H....

    Oh my god! I haven't seen this show in YEARS! I couldn't remember the name of it for a while!

  78. R.... ....

    now this show was something, random, but something good

  79. L.... ....

    This bring back memories from 2007. I felt happy the moment I heard this song.

  80. p.... y....

    its currently feb 20 2016 and this is still my jam!

  81. T.... R....

    What can I do for more sub and views? Hit me up.

    T.... R....

    +Saiku Tenji Try to upload more old shows and stuff

    T.... R....

    You doing great

  82. D.... B....

    Who else had the feels when they first heard this song.

  83. 1.... ....

    I'm going to sound like a pussy, but I actually _cried_ to this tune.

    1.... ....

    oh yeah and they said you gotta get back to the place where they know your face cuz they dont mind when you cry sometimes they listen. so definitely be under no label here

    1.... ....

    +Joel Jr. Fleurantin I hate dat p-word in which I feel worse in the 7th grade for using dat label on a particular person

    1.... ....

    it's fine bruh the chills are real with this one

    1.... ....

    Normally that's you're suppose to feel; Blue. The Blues as music genre bring out sadness and melancholy. I'll be honest when I first saw this as a kid it sorta got stuck in my head and only now did it came up and I think I cried as a kid when I saw this too. :/

    1.... ....

    "You gotta get back to the place where they know your face and they dont mind if you cry sometimes they listen...cause they.cry. too" <3 You are among friends...let it out. :)

  84. W.... T....

    this show was the shit back in da day

    W.... T....

    So true, its my inspiration for music

  85. I.... B....

    2015 still listening

    I.... B....

    @Aviationlover98 oh mah gerd. Lucky

    I.... B....

    @Imani Broadway I think it may be online somewhere :b

    I.... B....

    @Aviationlover98 I hope

    I.... B....

    +Imani Broadway Yo baby you tryna chill? Ha ha you cute and im cuter hmu ;)

    I.... B....

    6075 and still listening

  86. S.... A....

    i did put a thumbs down but i still like it but they but they did miss something more that would of been better but like i said i still like it maybe ....

  87. C.... C....

    As a kid I didn't notice that this show had a lesson to learn at the end of the show. This one was everyone gets sad even rich people have problems

  88. K.... _....

    Stoked, 6 teen, chowder, class of 3000, hell even TDI are better than most bullshit on today. Amazing world of Gumball, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and gravity falls are the only few shows that hold up.

    K.... _....

    +Rex The Kid Don't forget Megas XLR

    K.... _....

    take adventure time and gravity falls out and your right

    K.... _....

    Stoked is garbage

    K.... _....

    you forgot regular show

    K.... _....

    Stocked, 6teen and TD are all imported though

  89. B.... ....

    fuck you nostalgia, fuck you

  90. A.... C....

    Real fucking music right here

  91. m.... e....

    When I first watched this I didn't get the message but I liked the song.The message is that both rich and poor people have hard times and money can't buy happiness.

    m.... e....

    +may edwards There was also a bit of social commentary with the part "They look at him. All they see is dollar signs! Now, if that ain't blues, I say listen"
    Society demonizes the rich, and there are a lot of people that make them out to be soulless bastards who hate the poor. There are of course rich people that are like that, but treating them all badly just because of a few bad eggs is just as bad as treating all the people of a certain race badly just because you've had a bad experience with them in the past.
    Same situation, different context. Everyone is human, and we all have the potential to be good people, to be sad, to be lonely, to be bad, to be hateful. It doesn't matter what you are or where you're from, everyone deserves a chance.

    m.... e....

    @James Glass Well said

  92. T.... W....

    BRING THIS SHOW BACK😩😩😩 It was so dope!

    T.... W....

    exactly, even though the lawsuit failed, It was too late to keep the show going

    T.... W....

    @KnownAsJD
    What lawsuit?

    T.... W....

    @Jesse Thompson Simply google. "Class of 3000 lawsuit,"

    Someone in brooklyn suied because they claimed the work was stolen.
    People claimed it was won, because the show was taken down. As people tend to forget, the show was taken down in the middle of the lawsuit and not after.

    T.... W....

    It was 💖

  93. D.... C....

    The songs in this show have more meaning then the songs today. I mean.. "Pretty girls"? Really?

  94. S.... ....

    You know what was soo dope about this show? In this one little song, young kids got a taste of the Blues as it us a musical art-form, the hardships that both the upper and lower class go through, and a taste of the districts of Atlanta all in a span of a 2 minute song that was beautifully animated. I miss cartoons like this . . .

  95. A.... t....

    I remembered this video back in 2007.

  96. T.... A....

    Really good and catchy

  97. B.... M....

    Yep, gotta love the blues.

    B.... M....

    It's the rich Shade of Blue

    B.... M....

    @DeJuan Edwards
    Meow!

  98. W.... S....

    remembering the days when cartoon network had good shows

    W.... S....

    RIP CN CITY ERA!!!

    W.... S....

    Shows come and go over the years there's evened add n eddy chowder Dexter lab gen rex regurla show adventure time I can name many but times change as does the product / shows

    W.... S....

    @Wavy Spice I mean, you could say the same thing about the cartoon back in the day, My gym partner is a monkey and Squirrel boy were awful

    W.... S....

    "good shows"?
    This was the beginning of the dark ages.

    W.... S....
