(Jay The Great, bass breakin' like a body)
(Toni)
(Uh, man, um wow)

I just sat up on the stand
Told a lie straight to the honor
Old enough to be your daddy
Young enough to fuck your mama
All the shit that I have done
I can not believe in karma (yah)
Old enough to be your daddy
Young enough to fuck your mama (boom, boom, boom)
Young enough to fuck yo sister (boom)
Young enough to fuck your auntie
Ain't messin' with your granny
I just jugged her out them Xannies
I'm a beast, I'm a dog, got a motherfuckin' Addy (woo)
Nigga tell 'em pull 'em up
Drop the motherfuckin' Addy (do it)

Took my shot just like Marcus Camby (shot, shot)
I'm so hot they fannin' (woo)
I got mills out of Def Jam
I got mills out Atlantic (woo)
Niggas know my flows like my crib (yea)
This shit full of granite (woo)
Strip club closed, get her OnlyFans
Lil bitch don't you panic
Got a yard that's so damn big
I ordered thirty hammocks (got it)
Niggas claim they got a tool but never used a hammer (bap, bap)
I done set the standard
I been repped Atlanta, slept in a cabana (woo)
Dolce & Gabbana, Louie V bandana, do it (woo)

I just sat up on the stand
Told a lie straight to the honor
Old enough to be your daddy
Young enough to fuck your mama
All the shit that I have done
I can not believe in karma (not me, not me boy)
Old enough to be your daddy
Young enough to fuck your mama (boom, boom, boom)
Young enough to fuck yo sister
Young enough to fuck your auntie
Ain't messin' with your granny
I just jugged her out them Xannies
I'm a beast, I'm a dog, got a motherfuckin' Addy
Nigga tell 'em pull 'em up
Drop the motherfuckin' Addy (do it)

Old enough to son you niggas
Young enough to fuck your ex
Old enough to be your landlord
And sign the fuckin' checks (Woo)
I take care of IRS, excuse me, sir, am I arrest? (s'cuse me)
Fell in love with VVS, my cuz a Blood, PMS (boom)
Oh you thick, oh you sexy
What you doin' later? Gon' text me
Got my heart on Wayne Gretzky (ice)
You don't fuck me and that's a blessin' (woo)
I smoke weed, I done pounds
I sold and rapped about that shit (yea)
Put her on track, had her runnin' laps around the D (you)

I just sat up on the stand
Told a lie straight to the honor
Old enough to be your daddy
Young enough to fuck your mama
All the shit that I have done
I can not believe in karma (nah)
Old enough to be your daddy
Young enough to fuck your mama (boom, boom, boom)
Young enough to fuck yo sister (boom)
Young enough to fuck your auntie
Ain't messin' with your granny
I just jugged her out them Xannies
I'm a beast, I'm a dog, got a motherfuckin' Addy (woo)
Nigga tell 'em pull 'em up
Drop the motherfuckin' Addy (do it)

Set the standard, I been repped Atlanta, slept in a cabana (woo)




Set the standard, I been repped Atlanta, rep-rep-repped Atlanta (woo)
Set the standard, I been repped Atlanta, slept in a cabana (woo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Grey Area" are filled with vulgar and lewd lines meant to show off the rapper's capabilities, wealth, and subversion of traditional moral values. The song starts with the rapper, 2 Chainz, boasting about his age and how he is old enough to be someone's father but young enough to sleep with their mother. The second verse is filled with more explicit lines about sleeping with family members, jugging Xanax, and bragging about his drug use. The third verse mentions his success in the music industry, taking care of his taxes, and his sexual conquests with various women.


In many ways, "Grey Area" is a song about excessβ€”excess in wealth, indulgences, and breaking societal norms. The lyrics evoke a sense of rebellion against the traditional rules of society, highlighting that 2 Chainz is living in the gray area and doing whatever he wants. Despite the lyrics’ seemingly crass and offensive nature, they effectively show 2 Chainz’s nonconformist attitude.
