Grey Area

People lookin' at it like it's binary
People lookin' they can't see the irony
People lookin' life like it's all just black and white
Time to slip between the lines, grey area
People lookin' at it like it's binary
People lookin' they can't see the irony
People livin' life like it's black against the white
Time to slip between the lines, grey area

Grey area, come into my area
Time to do the math and shit just ain't been adding up, yeah
In my area, step inside my head, yeah
Mind ya neck, don't cut me off, just listen to my tale, yeah
This ain't me verse you, this that we verse them
I don't know what you've been through, or what you did and when
But no matter what you do, you'll be evil in their eyes
But that don't mean I don't want you to be one of my guys
I promise you my man, I ain't like any of them
"But he'll try to ruin your life," that's a misconception
I ain't got nothin' against nobody, 'cept this fuckin' world, man
Live your life the way you want it long as you conform, damn
Take a step outside the line or think outside the box
Hey you outta line, man, you boutta get shot
So we resort to the lines cuz we ain't got no green
Crack addict, back at it, get 'em all lean

People lookin' at it like it's binary
People lookin' they can't see the irony
People lookin' life like it's all just black and white
Time to slip between the lines, grey area
People lookin' at it like it's binary
People lookin' they can't see the irony
People livin' life like it's black against the white
Time to slip between the lines, grey area

Lean 'em all up so they gotta lean on you
Welfare, healthcare, going through hell there
Some of these dudes, they just don't know what to do
Gotta hustle, gotta struggle, gettin' outta hell there
Corrupt system, I don't know what to do, man
I'm just out here, livin' life, make it on my own, man
I'm my own man, ain't gotta conform, man
I'm a grown man, make it on my own, man
Follow in my footsteps, followin' his footsteps
Father was a role model, father made me hood blessed
I know I'm lucky, but I had to work hard
Nothing but work would take me this far
But the same damn work puts you behind bars
Fuck, that's shitty and sick, call it SAARS
They start a race war with black and white cars
But there's no real winner, we all got mental scars

People lookin' at it like it's binary
People lookin' they can't see the irony
People lookin' life like it's all just black and white
Time to slip between the lines, grey area
People lookin' at it like it's binary
People lookin' they can't see the irony
People livin' life like it's black against the white
Time to slip between the lines, grey area
