Grey
Renat [R.I.P] Nizamiev Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are greater than this
We are stronger than before
There's no locking us in
We're not hopeless anymore

Everyone feels safe, safe on the inside
Holding on but never really alive
Everyone feels safe, safe in the outline
Holding on to the cage in your mind
To the cage in your mind

I've found a way to pull you from the life you hate
To somewhere real so you don't find your self lost in the grey
We are greater than this
We are stronger than before
There's no locking us in
We're not hopeless anymore

Don't tell me that you're, you're the same
There's nothing, no mold that I can't break
Don't tell me that you're full of shame
There's nothing, you're a rat that wants to bleed
I'm just a rat that wants to bleed

I've found a way to pull you from the life you hate
To somewhere real so you don't find your self lost in the grey
We are greater than this
We are stronger than before
There's no locking us in
We're not hopeless anymore

We're hopeless not helpless
There's more to life than what's in site
We're hopeless not helpless
We're hopeless not helpless
(Not helpless)

I've found a way
I've found a way
We are greater than this
We are stronger than before




There's no locking us in
We're not hopeless anymore

We wake up when the sun goes down
Neighbor says the smell's too loud
Riding in my old school thang
Shotgun with my old school babe
So wake me when the sun goes down
Tonight's my last night in town
I pledge to a flag so grey
No matter what time, the skies are grey, ooh
Around this time, was starving, no Ramadan
Yeah, mighta robbed you blind
You, you, you, your dad and moms
Yeah, keep that in mind
Fear two things: being broke and dying
Yeah, jump your ass inside, LSD come take this ride
No A-C-I-D, how you get your ass inside
Yeah, take one peek at me, you might get lost in my mind
Yeah, fuck that college shit, that scholarship, let's hypnotize
Yeah, ooh
We wake up when the sun goes down
Neighbor says the smell's too loud
Riding in my old school thang
Shotgun with my old school babe
So wake me when the sun goes down
Tonight's my last night in town
I pledge to a flag so grey (no matter what time)
No matter what time, the skies are grey
Grey! Yeah-yeah-oh
Grey! Yeah-yeah
Grey! Yeah-yeah-oh (uhuh)
Grey! The sky is grey
Grey! Mmm-mm-mm
Grey! Mmm-mm-mm
Grey! The sky is grey (uhuh)
Woah-ooh-oh
Grey! Yeah, yeah
Grey! Woah-ooh-oh
Grey! Yeah, yeah (uhuh)
The sky is grey, yuh
Yeah, the sky is grey, mmm-oh
Grey!
Might be the last time I trip
I know I said this shit last time
But damn, I never had a trip like this
Who knew a threeway on freeway can trip
With three hoes to a six-way?
Ain't gotta finesse out the midway
So Bird can wrap birds in that Ben-Gay
No more, goddamn
And pops never gave me shit
But pops ain't raised no bitch
I swung, I missed, he swung, he hit, then I hit that ditch
Raised in a town where it looked so good outside
Like it ain't that serious
My nigga got dumb years doing dumb shit
Locked up in the car, had to pull a gun quick
Killa tatted on his face, leaked to his conscious
Now he stuck in a cell, know he feeling nauseous
The nigga so good, he was so cold
Another lost kid, Mo City soul
The sky is grey, ooh-oh
Mmm-mm-mm, yeah
