GRAY SKIES 3

Call Me cce Yo The Lord never promised that life would be more wins than losses I just carry the cross of me and my bloodline Hopin' to break these chains of the blood in my veins Workin' hard like my dad - guess we do the same things Like his pops on the plantation choppin' sugar cane cin't nothin' sweet when I grind Makin' sure we could eat anytime we desire I remember we would eat baguettes with french dressing on the side That was young cce bein' Parisian Before I had fans in Francophonic regions Before I had 65 degree winter seasons We'd bundle up at night in our long sleeves on the floor Now we lookin' at the Four Seasons Me and wifey like “We could do better” Celebrating anniversaries that new to me Tryin' not to get divorced someone root for me Cause I see all the patterns I gotta unlearn Feel the pressure I go through as the world turns Flyin' through gray skies again Flyin' through gray skies again We came a long way but there's still so much we gotta learn Don't know how much we could go through as the world turns Flyin' through gray skies again Flyin' through gray skies again Came back from vacation excited to plan this new chapter Comin' back on first class full of laughter Us and the stewardess we had contagious giddiness Had a list of goals and names and roles and You'll do this and I'll do that on this date and We'll relax after our families react clready told a couple by the way Too much excitement when there's a bundle of joy on the way That ten-week check-in wasn't expected The nurse told us we're no longer expecting Somethin' ain't right heartbeat ain't detected Me and wifey in tears second guessing It's not your fault dear but what if it's mine There's so much unknown with this unborn But what if it's a sign that I'm the end of the line cll I hear is voices sayin' keep tryin' keep tryin' But we try every day yet we still unsure If we'll ever see life as this cruel world turns Flyin' through gray skies again Flyin' through gray skies again We came a long way but there's still so much we gotta learn Don't know how much we could go through as the world turns Flyin' through gray skies again Flyin' through gray skies again
