Shades of Grey
[Intro]
Shades of grey, shades of
Grey
[Verse 1: Pressure]
Take a good look and tell me what you see but not what to be
I want to free, my life is falling in monopoly
With the monotony of each sunrise, this loss of colour
Runs in the times, while it sits in my mind but it's just another
Shade of grievous grey, like the previous day
You're picking 'round in my thoughts, seemin' to lead me astray
Won't you lead me away from all the drama for real?
'Cause what they come here to kill, the marijuana will heal
Yeah, I'll be kicked 'round but wouldn't sit down for no one else
Getting caught up in this shit, [?] to myself
But now I'm [?] tryna make somethin' from nothin'
[?] far from perfect so they must be suffering
And maybe it's the way [?] crazy astray
But I can't see in black and white no more, it's a shade, grey
[Verse 2: Pressure]
Sick of the steady eye and the lie and believin' 'em
Like they're [?] suck a bit on the receiving end
I'm leavin' them 'cause they the wack show, tobacco
The only thing helpin' me is the pressure on my back so
The axe though, I'm [?] catchin' bloody [?]
[?] fat caps, so where's my bloody hat Matt?
Through time, who will lie to me and who will guide me
Through rhyme and make bystanders stand by me?
So try deny me the fact that I be highly
Respected by often neglected [?]
So to try me 'cause my life be [?] chronology
[?] no return follows me
And swallows me, brushin' this [?] paste
Tryin' to lead and keep faith in this world with no face
Trapped in the same place day and night, my brains fight
My mood shifts between [?] shades of light
[Verse 3: Suffa]
Suffa grab the mic and [?] some black and white
Like a thirty [?] paint a picture from my mind like a thirty mill
Thirty mill [?]
Insinodate all the colours of the rainbow mixed
Grey shades, the way [?] fades away
[?] sections black and white
In my perception, vision is perception like perception is deceptive
Or precision [?]
[Verse 4: Debris]
Reflections of grey, perceptions of day
Deceptions of night, shades of light, shades of grey
Reflections of grey, perceptions of day
Deceptions of night, shades of light, shades of pernicious grey
I've been alive for two decades
The truth's in colour full but positivity fades
Until the pinnacle [?] perplex
I wanna [?]
Remaining [?] focusing only on production
My function's being slowed by the cannabis induction
Suctions, watch transition shades of black
[?] a beer short of a six pack
[Verse 5: Pressure]
Colourless L-I-F-E, now stress me
Can't figure out whether a curse me or bless me
My sides are black and white, I feel the tension
When life moves by in only half its colour spectrum
[Bridge: Pressure]
Shades of grey (Shades of)
Life got me seein' shades of grey
[Verse 6: Pressure]
Shades of grey blindin' me, constantly remindin' me
Bindin' me, [?] senses of thought in which I finally meet
Time will be one with Pressure, forever consume your days
Assume the ways of the knife, throwin' the light of blue in array
[?] dazed by this world I'm livin' in
Man, I feel like givin' in, but I didn't whip, I half-step it
So kick back fella, meddlin' with my thoughts I might just let off
"You don't wanna feel the pressure" so step off
Take your mind less to break your time or break people
Hard to eat in at the odds when you can't even break equal
With yourself, so doofus, I'm a man, let me live this
All these shades of black and white, they got me seein' negative
Forever give my hearts to all spirits and that which [?]
Try retrieve [?]
That's just the way I act, just step the fuck away with that
It's all [?] that got me seein' shades of black

"You don't wanna feel the pressure"
"You don't wanna feel the pressure"
"You don't wanna feel the pressure"
"You don't wanna feel the pressure"
