Reks - Grey Hairs lyrics

I wanted to rock them three stripes, Timbs
And Nikes momma told me when I'm
Older I'll experience life
But now it's all grey hairs
It's all grey hairs it's all grey hairs
It's all grey

Thought I was old enough then
To know wrong from right
Momma told me when I'm older that
I might see the light
But now it's all grey hairs
It's all grey hairs it's all grey hairs
It's all grey

I pop bottles and read the good book
Skipped college, man watched top models
Cuz soon they'll be hollering
We made travels like Gulliver
Used to be kings like Solomon
Then became slaves like Tubman and then
Government wanna us see us
Running like Harriet
To avoid the establishment
Of prison cell blocks
Little shorties come out of the womb
Ready to sell rocks rock charms
Jesus Christ pendant covered in ice
I guess my only advice
Is watch jewels, gems, come with a price
It's such an identity crisis
How we can cop new bank gear
Not care what the price is
Jesus hang from a cross and now
He hang from your neck
Still no respect, don't' know who Christ is
We are living in times of
The most critical kind
Grey hairs got visible lines

Can you sense it that hopes is missing
That the focus isn't there
Any longer children
Being raised by a new age given a new craze
They listen to the beat and nod
Disregard thoughts written
They walking dead around us pimping
And our mission is no longer
To reach within 'em
Our mission should be now
To decrease the tension
But instead we just give in to nature
Label hate us cuz we don't let
The radios make us different
Getting grey hairs from all
Of that anger building
I'd be lying if I said
I ain't aging and sensing
A bit of change in my ageless wisdom
What are we to do now
For the patient victims
Who just wish music would
Return to it's senses that we at some point
Would respect our mission
And give back to rap, the greatest invention

Hip-hop influences raised me
Say, for instance
Jay-Z said the streets is watching
So I kept on driving, head bobbing crazy
Though the couple in the next car upset
They couldn't make me
Turn the volume down, my volume up
And I'm a ride 'round town
Blast that volume, WHAT?! But these days
These kids really don't give fuck
Listening to Dip Set
Now they sticking you up
Take every rhyme literal, YEP!
They more criminal, PLUS
It's more reality to kill for a buck
But how can I judge? When it's a part of the
Beautiful music I love
They iPods full of G-Unit, the best thugs
Next club, everybody in the cipher rhyming
Out to get rich and die trying
Dark clouds keep us out of the grey
The sun rising, looking better today
So I say
