Grey Skies
[Intro: Apollo]
Yeah
[Verse 1: Apollo]
I used to only speak about my struggles
I used to only talk about my family 'cause I struggled
With the fact that what I planned could fumble
So I blamed my situation on my childhood troubles
Mama, I'm so sorry I was doin' what I did
I guess I was upset when you ain't show up to my gigs
I'm tryna start a brand and have a future for my kids
Comin' where I'm from, you either die alone or make it big, yeah
I used to think of rappin' as a part-time
These thoughts of suicide still follow me when I get offline
I won't make it
I'll prolly quit with this shit when I turn 30
So the next decade is dedicated to the ones who hated
Lately, I been dyin' about my come-up
And I just turned 20 but I feel like time is slippin'
So I still work every night until the sun up
And I used to have to worry if somebody's finna run up
I was workin' different jobs 'cause I kept gettin' fired
From my lack of motivation in my whole life
I would rather go and try than go get a nine-to-five
And have that burden on my conscience for my whole life
[Chorus: Cyrus]
But that's life sometimes, get lost, get stuck, get goin'
Get love, get mine, get nothin', get by, move on
And I heard it all before
Heard it all before, all the time
Heard it all before
It's rainin' inside, hella grey skies, grey skies
[Verse 2: Apollo]
But see, my ex taught me looks can be deceivin'
Playin' telephone around the city, now it's rumored I was cheatin'
So pathetic
What happened was I tried to take my life
And she just couldn't take the pressure
But believe me, I regret it
It was hard for me to deal wit'
Nights feelin' numb and having days, I wouldn't feel shit
Became accustomed to the grey skies I was feelin'
I would stay inside 'cause
Goin' outside nowadays just ain't appealin'
I was doin' everything I ever wanted
I became a Specktator, gained fans
So why the fuck am I unhappy? Livin' like my father
I guess the world is cold and I just wanna be unbothered
Every local rapper askin' me for favors
I used to engineer 'til my clients started braggin' 'bout my situation
Dollar signs come with stipulations
I don't wanna go outside but grey skies are my inspiration
[Chorus: Cyrus]
But that's life sometimes, get lost, get stuck, get goin'
Get love, get mine, get nothin', get by, move on
And I heard it all before
Heard it all before, all the time
Heard it all before
It's rainin' inside, hella grey skies, grey skies
