Saba - Grey Lyrics

The best song is probably on the B-Side
Won't be surprised when the label deny
This so grey, grey
The best song is probably on the demo
But that's not the one that got you your limo
Limousine, grey
The single the one that wasn't as honest
But this is what they say make you the hottest
In the game, grey, grey

Sometimes I think about the pressures of a artist
And what it takes to get called a success
Even with no college
We barely even considered
Don't label me with them niggas
Infatuation with plastic
I wanted it to be realer
First they wanted to hip-hop
Then they wanted guerrilla
Then they wanted drug dealer
Then they wanted a dancer
Now they want a drug addict
Infatuation with plastic
White girl want to be sister
Driver want to be walker
And walker want to be sitter

The best song is probably on the B-Side
Won't be surprised when the label deny
This so grey, grey
The best song is probably on the demo
But that's not the one that got you your limo
Limousine, grey
The single the one that wasn't as honest
But this is what they say make you the hottest
In the game, grey, grey

Sometimes I think about the pressures of the label
And what it take to get paid for
Discovering art they ain't no
Existing, I know it ain't yo
Intention to try and change me
Multi-million, your children
Private school, they attending
An album selling what did it
I shuck and jive, a good nigga
Split the pot and I'm silent
I'ma give you your single
And you just give me the finest
"Saba, if it's so bad then
Hey why the hell are they signing?"
'Cause sitter want to be walker
And walker want to be driving

The best song is probably on the B-Side
Won't be surprised when the label deny
This so grey, grey
The best song is probably on the demo
But that's not the one that got you your limo
Limousine, grey
The single the one that wasn't as honest
But this is what they say make you the hottest
In the game, grey

Care for me, carefully
Back with more clarity, back like consecutive
I told you motherfuckers like
Oedipus, Heather B, Sway In The Morning
Painted that pain like a portrait
Action I aim for the target
Ain't for the fame but the fortune cool
Altering at altitudes
All for the thought for food
Offering that art that move
Carefully editing every word
Everything got to be charity
Give it my all
These melodies therapy
I keep it thoroughly
PIVOT the legacy
How could you not be moved
I don't give 'em an option to
Don't nobody want to be great
Everybody wanna be seen
And nobody wanna be quiet
Everything is
Everything is
Everything is
Everything is
Care for me, carefully
Back with more clarity, back like consecutive
I told you
Look, everything is grey
Everything is grey
Everything is grey
Everything
