DMND - Shadez of Grey lyrics

Back in 97, A special baby was birthed Big and Pac in laid heaven while he was walking the earth Bound to be a legend and known all over the world From the highest mountain peaks and the highest flying birds To the sunny southern shores where he went to swim n surf From the diamond to the mat , from the court to the turf I don't make a**umptions I just call it how I see it A lot of wanna-be's who don't really wanna be it They say they do, but when they do, they don't really mean it They wanna earn some green but won't work so they achieve it Many dream to be successful but few will really be it And seeing is believing but this world can be deceiving So f** the world, f** the lies Tell em I won't stop till I'm floating in the sky I'll be all I can till the day that I die I ain't scared, I'll never close my eyes Yeah, you laughing at my size but it ain't the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog And I'm fighting for the rights of the wronged, motherf**er Can you hear me now? Or is these stupid little n***as tryna bring me down Swear I'm a touch the sky fore' I end up underground Y'all should watch the throne cause I'm coming for the crown And I'm tryna make it big but I ain't sure how Knowing is half the battle, You n***as sad to say the least I won't step inside a church if it's run by a bunch of creeps Cause Jesus walks with me everywhere that I go So no disrespect, but I ain't need to listen to ya father Joe And this sh** is looking slow for you cla** clown mothers**as You n***as think you hot sh**, I'm burning rubber On the road to greatness and I won't ever stop And there ain't diversity when your burning in a melting pot Knowledge is power and the future is ours So don't let them tell you nothing they some motherf**ing cowards If Time is of the essence I'm the man of the hour And from under the cement grew a little pretty flower We started from the bottom but we headed to the top And we ain't gonna stop not for no crooked cops Ain't afraid of no Glocks so go ahead and pop it, Me and Mic blasting off just like a rocket Nothing but some lint in my pocket but once my tape drops having gold in my stockings In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car but never sat in something that could take you this far So its gotta be the shoes and all I see is shadez of grey As I listen to the Blues I shine like a diamond in the midnight sky and if you tryna say I ain't the ground is where you'll lie Where I stand is where I leave it just tryna do something that could never be repeated, never be repeated (Hook)(x3) If you see through my eyes All I see is shadez of grey All I see is shadez of grey
