It's All Gray
Romeo feat. Christina Milian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember when, let me turn back time on Big Ben,
let me tell you about the story from start to end,
release the ink from my ballpoint pen, when it touches the page,
it reveals the message that I send,
are you listening, let me tell you about my first and only christening,
my eyes all glistening, with the innocence of a blank page,
life is like a blank page, enjoy the beef, the strife, the rage,
with fire flows that are capable of burning down the stage,
[Chorus:]
Remember when we used to say, ain't always gonna be this way
from lemonade to alize, its all gravy, baby.
Remember when we used to say, ain't always gonna be this way
from lemonade to alize, its all gravy, baby...
Back in my school days, they was the cool days, school was the good old days now,
I tend to leave my teachers amazed they never knew my hard work paved the way,
when I talk about back in the days, the hard life, everything will be all gravy,
if I play my cards right, that's right, mother said keep close friends tight,
keep frienemies in the distance, in the night,
wait... let me turn the page and continue to verbally burn the page,
with fire flows that are capable of burning down the stage,
[Chorus]
Baby, baby,
Boy you told me not to worry 'cause it's gonna be all gravy,
Boy you told me not to worry 'cause it's gonna be all gravy baby
[Chorus x 2]
The more money you make, the more money you make, its all gravy,
the more money you make, the more money you make, now its all gravy baby.
