Grey Skies
Navigating Life's Shadows: Grey Skies Unveiled
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Introduction to the song
However that you want it, is however that you need it/
Expressing a willingness to meet someone's desires and needs
Look at the way you flaunt it like you got something to feed us/
Observing confident behavior, suggesting self-assurance
Look me in my eyes tell me do you really see us/
Questioning if a deeper connection is perceived in a relationship
I'm going for a ride tell me if you want to meet us/
Invitation to join a journey or experience
Gone for a long time boy call me Nia/
Self-reference as "Nia" and an indication of being away for a long time
Flow so nasty think I'm Bahamadia/
Confidently stating a captivating flow, reminiscent of Bahamadia
Drip so classy flipping the script here/
Highlighting a sophisticated and stylish demeanor
Know thyself is never moving in fear/
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and courage
VERSE 2:
Transition to the second verse
I knew this girl who said I walked with a limp/
Recalling an encounter with someone who misunderstood a confident walk
She said she thought my leg was broke, nah baby that's pimp/
Rejecting the notion of weakness, asserting a confident stance
Thought my head was swole, nah baby that's them/
Rejecting misconceptions about personal confidence
Le, do you love them girls, nah baby that's simp/
Clarifying intentions and playfully denying simplicity in relationships
I'm just playing I know I really loved some of y'all/
Acknowledging genuine feelings towards certain individuals
Some of y'all more than others/
Admitting varying degrees of affection for different people
Some of y'all raised the bar/
Recognizing individuals who set high standards
Y'all were like the queens in the deck full of joker cards/
Metaphorically comparing people to queens in a deck of cards
I learned if you play your cards right you can have it all/
Learning that strategic actions can lead to success
VERSE 3:
Transition to the third verse
Sat on the floor, upright position/
Describing a contemplative and focused state
Petition to the stars to heal my affliction/
Seeking cosmic assistance for personal healing
You know you know the type that like to kill ambition/
Commenting on individuals who undermine ambition
So don't believe the hype it's all a contradiction/
Advising not to believe in societal expectations
It's all about tradition/
Stressing the influence of tradition
It's all about the way I spit like I'm on a mission/
Highlighting a determined and purposeful way of expressing oneself
And I can never stop this shit it's like a hard addiction/
Describing an addictive passion for creative pursuits
And when your heart is in it you can never really quit it/
Emphasizing the enduring nature of genuine passion
VERSE 4:
Transition to the fourth verse
You should be careful when you walking out there/
Cautioning about potential dangers in one's surroundings
With them grey skies that never ever seem to get clear/
Describing persistently gloomy and challenging circumstances
At the wrong place, at the wrong time with no gear/
Highlighting vulnerable situations without adequate preparation
With the wrong friends who ain't friends and yet they still there/
Expressing distrust in seemingly false friendships
And stare with a glare in their eyes and project their fears in the skies/
Describing the intensity of negative emotions projected by others
And protect their fears with the lies/
Emphasizing the protection of insecurities with lies
And the last time I checked, Indigenous both sides/
Recognizing indigenous heritage on both sides
And the last time I flexed I never needed it/
Reflecting on personal strength and independence
Dressed in all black with the silk black bow tie/
Describing a stylish and composed appearance
Smoking that dro to blow the smoke off in eyes/
Engaging in a calming activity to regain focus
Return back to self like I never left then rise/
Returning to a true self and rising above challenges
Thee imagination opened up and realized/
Experiencing a profound realization beyond personal limitations
Something that's bigger than you, its something thats inside/
Acknowledging a force or concept greater than oneself
Something thats triggering you, is it deep, is it inside/
Questioning the source and depth of triggering emotions
And does it give into you/
Pondering the impact of external influences on one's being
The journey to stay alive/
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle for survival
Cuz it's always giving us something we can never deny.
Reflecting on the inevitability of facing challenging experiences
