Lyrics to Grey Skies
Yeah
I used to only speak about my struggles
I used to only talk about my family 'cause I struggled
With the fact that what I planned could fumble
So I blamed my situation on my childhood troubles
Mama, I'm so sorry I was doin' what I did
I guess I was upset when you ain't show up to my gigs
I'm tryna start a brand and have a future for my kids
Comin' where I'm from, you either die alone or make it big, yeah
I used to think of rappin' as a part-time
These thoughts of suicide still follow me when I get offline
I won't make it
I'll prolly quit with this shit when I turn 30
So the next decade is dedicated to the ones who hated
Lately, I been dyin' about my come-up
And I just turned 20 but I feel like time is slippin'
So I still work every night until the sun up
And I used to have to worry if somebody's finna run up
I was workin' different jobs 'cause I kept gettin' fired
From my lack of motivation in my whole life
I would rather go and try than go get a nine-to-five
And have that burden on my conscience for my whole life
But that's life sometimes, get lost, get stuck, get goin'
Get love, get mine, get nothin', get by, move on
And I heard it all before
Heard it all before, all the time
Heard it all before
It's rainin' inside, hella grey skies, grey skies
But see, my ex taught me looks can be deceivin'
Playin' telephone around the city, now it's rumored I was cheatin'
So pathetic
What happened was I tried to take my life
And she just couldn't take the pressure
But believe me, I regret it
It was hard for me to deal wit'
Nights feelin' numb and having days, I wouldn't feel shit
Became accustomed to the grey skies I was feelin'
I would stay inside 'cause
Goin' outside nowadays just ain't appealin'
I was doin' everything I ever wanted
I became a Specktator, gained fans
So why the fuck am I unhappy? Livin' like my father
I guess the world is cold and I just wanna be unbothered
Every local rapper askin' me for favors
I used to engineer 'til my clients started braggin' 'bout my situation
Dollar signs come with stipulations
I don't wanna go outside but grey skies are my inspiration
But that's life sometimes, get lost, get stuck, get goin'
Get love, get mine, get nothin', get by, move on
And I heard it all before
Heard it all before, all the time
Heard it all before
It's rainin' inside, hella grey skies, grey skies
I used to only speak about my struggles
I used to only talk about my family 'cause I struggled
With the fact that what I planned could fumble
So I blamed my situation on my childhood troubles
Mama, I'm so sorry I was doin' what I did
