KWANE - Into the Gray feat Margot

I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away
I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away

Tears falling down your brown skin
Don't worry about the down time, you know I be around then
But when it's busy hustle bustle, social life and business tussle
Therefore something's gotta suffer, they say muscle strengthens muscle
So I arm wrestle time, juggle my obligations
Can't see you tonight, sorry I kept you waiting
I great new opportunities with salutations
As I witness my relationships' devaluation
But in the future I see millions, record deals, and business dealings
Marble floors and high ?? taking trips to Martha's Vineyards
Don't tell me that ain't appealing, baby, we can make a killing
Perhaps it's killing off our spirit when chasing paper
Our sensibilities get off, our principalities evolve
There's no humility at all, so apathetic to it all
Damn, baby, what the fuck we gonna do?
That's just a GRAY AREA we run into, we run into

I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away
I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away

Such is life, it's just like that
It's not white, it's not black, there's no truth, there's no facts
Just ideas and feelings, we living as children
Just kids blown up by age
But I start growing up with all the rage
I missed the days of numbers, two pencils
And tracing with stencils
Our young minds are the tools by the untouched souls
‘Cause float free, gravity hasn't got a hold of us
But now depravity's controlling us
You never know what might just happen
My life has been unsettled since I started rapping
The homie Kenny lost his hit and now he started trapping
And then literally lost his head when niggas started clapping
God bless him, we pull our liquor for them niggas in rockers
They got they pictures, see, my life is unsettled and off the hinges
So many stances seem blasphemous, still we pray
Still you follow me INTO THE GRAY

I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away
I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away

For what is a promise, a promise is easy broken
What's the point of a gesture if it's just a token
All my eggs in one basket, same one I put my hopes in
So no time for time off or crossing old friends that might die
We close palms and pray to the nice God
The most real, the most high, the most death, the most fly
The most truth, the most lie
Your aura glows inside the eye
Color celestial lover, a thing of wonder
Heart shaped shadows block out the sunlight
The razor dumb bright, reminders of all the shit that you gotta do
Mandatory grad school just to get a leg up
Why do you gotta fucking go in debt to get your bread up?
It's backwards, yo, evil way, I hope it pays off, though
Maybe my views are just way off, yo
In this ambiguous world we must EMBRACE THE GRAY
AND IN THE NAME OF TOMORROW WE SACRIFICE TODAY
I love you

I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away
I want you to sway INTO THE GRAY
Into the limelight, just drift away
