Grey Skies - Intellectual

[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
