Shadez of Grey

Back in 97, A special baby was birthed
Big and Pac in laid heaven while he was walking the earth
Bound to be a legend and known all over the world
From the highest mountain peaks and the highest flying birds
To the sunny southern shores where he went to swim n surf
From the diamond to the mat , from the court to the turf
I don't make assumptions I just call it how I see it
A lot of wanna-be's who don't really wanna be it
They say they do, but when they do, they don't really mean it
They wanna earn some green but won't work so they achieve it
Many dream to be successful but few will really be it
And seeing is believing but this world can be deceiving
So fuck the world, fuck the lies
Tell em I won't stop till I'm floating in the sky
I'll be all I can till the day that I die
I ain't scared, I'll never close my eyes
Yeah, you laughing at my size but it ain't the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog
And I'm fighting for the rights of the wronged, motherfucker
Can you hear me now? Or is these stupid little niggas tryna bring me down
Swear I'm a touch the sky fore' I end up underground
Y'all should watch the throne cause I'm coming for the crown
And I'm tryna make it big but I ain't sure how
Knowing is half the battle, You niggas sad to say the least
I won't step inside a church if it's run by a bunch of creeps
Cause Jesus walks with me everywhere that I go
So no disrespect, but I ain't need to listen to ya father Joe
And this shit is looking slow for you class clown mothersuckas
You niggas think you hot shit, I'm burning rubber
On the road to greatness and I won't ever stop
And there ain't diversity when your burning in a melting pot
Knowledge is power and the future is ours
So don't let them tell you nothing they some motherfucking cowards
If Time is of the essence I'm the man of the hour
And from under the cement grew a little pretty flower
We started from the bottom but we headed to the top
And we ain't gonna stop not for no crooked cops
Ain't afraid of no Glocks so go ahead and pop it, Me and Mic blasting off just like a rocket
Nothing but some lint in my pocket but once my tape drops having gold in my stockings
In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car but never sat in something that could take you this far
So its gotta be the shoes and all I see is shadez of grey As I listen to the
Blues
I shine like a diamond in the midnight sky and if you tryna say I ain't the ground is where you'll lie
Where I stand is where I leave it just tryna do something that could never be repeated, never be repeated

(Hook)(x3)
If you see through my eyes
All I see is shadez of grey
All I see is shadez of grey
