Shades of Gray
[Intro:]
Yeah
Uh huh
Damn it's like...
I don't know.. It's like out of character for me
But I'll do it
Check
[Verse 1:]
Everybody just waits
Until I walk in the front door
Donovan will come and make it hurt no more
I still remember seeing my Grandma on the floor
Gone, everything I loved in the door
Don, tell us watching scripts for sure
Taking they mind off the pain, it's a cure
Sometimes I'm hurt, and I don't wanna laugh
Sometimes I work, enough for the task
Sometimes I wanna cry, can't shed tears
Because I know, all of my family's in here
Sometimes I'm out in the eyes of the public
Get into emotional dysfunction
It's hard, when things you wanted is gone from your life
When friends come around they don't see it in your eyes
Damn, maybe I wear a mask too well
Show off a smile so they ask won't tell
Sometimes I'm hurt, sometimes I dwell
On the fact that there's a good chance that I might fail
Tryna chase M's, when I end up with an L
Tryna get a tail when I end up on the shelves
Sometimes I won't go outside all day
Sometimes I won't pick up the phone, other to say
Sometimes I don't wanna see Peek-a-Blue
Sometimes I wanna dream in
[Chorus:]
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Just let me dream in (x3)
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Just let me dream...
[Verse 2:]
I see in the colors that I've seen from afar
In the midnight skies, when there's barely any stars
An easy way to reflect, like car way mirrors
And it's clear when you see yourself, for who you really are
For the womens at the bar, for the ball
when they come down to play, they all stray
And no one's at the bar
Realize like a dream with closed eyes
With those scenes in the end
When we end up in the dark
They are gone
Dreams are drawn
24/7 eclipse, they calm
This is the planet that I shall remain on
And that I'm relaxed, thinking that I'm gonna stay gone
Is it a dream that I seen today?
And the best for my people, should I lead the way?
I'm ready for the day, but I think I'll wait
For a scene, when I dream in
[Chorus:]
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Just let me dream in (x3)
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray
Just let me dream...
