50 Shades

[Christon Gray]

Am I becoming more of what I never was?

I feel myself changing, I'm changing

Since the first day of school and such

Skipped study hall for extended lunch

Baby, is this the end of us?

Animaniacs, this is the suspended us

Wish I only had to ask for your forgiveness once

Wish I only had to ask for your forgiveness once

Can I get a witness?

Church, call me Winston, downhill rolling bit the dust

See my queen on her own, I'm like I'll go dutch

And Julian has been my Uncle Dutch

Keeps a hundred dollar bill, no matter how I fill, yep

Price is only getting higher, you can look, but don't touch

He was saying I shouldn't be in a rush to add friends

We sort of like Mad Men, creative in the clutch

And he knows how I can be like Don Draper out to lunch

When my ego gets injured, I'll be looking for a crutch

Should be looking for an alter pleading for the blood

All day getting offers and even after dusk

I pray and I prey, seek while I hunt

I should've got off her, they beat me to the punch

And it's gon' cost us, if we keep it on the hush

Wolves as sheep are quick to eat you up for dinner

Send you on your way, sinner

Man I gotta watch who I'm amongst

Lord knows I'll be the first to announce my shame

Before you know my business though

First order of business, bro

Please, properly pronounce my name

I feel like the whole world waiting on me

50 shades, they don't know me well enough to cast me

Lately she's been on it like she tryna own me

50 shades, she don't know me well enough to catch me

50 shades

Seen a number in her phone I don't recognize

Something feels different, so different

I seen a brick wall when I read her eyes

But cheers to the future, I drink too much to whine

Cheers to the future, I drink to us, why?

Lover of my soul, say we gon' be fine

50 shades, all I see without a ray of sunshine

Not a one, not a Ray unless I'm blind

Maybe nocturnal, baby, have a good night

These girls driving me crazy, baby, have a good flight

Excuse me as I kiss the sky

Purple haze catching shade since '86, maybe it's time

To come back to the ground

May I borrow your state of mind?

Ever since second year of college in '05

Started me a saga during the Ci-era

13 dimes all at the same time

And it didn't make sense, then I met Christina

Her demeanor was indeed one of a kind

13 dimes turned to 13 ghosts

Started to see clearer, but ghosts never die

They keep coming back, even in year five

Now everybody worry like: How will he survive?

In turn I ask you, how can you deny?

Cuz I'm sure than I can't be the only one there

Please come clean before you compare

And the more we've been in prayer, I'm feeling at ease

It ain't about speed, tortoise and the hare

God gave me wings, I'm like Jordan in the air

And I feel like the whole world waiting on me

50 shades, they don't know me well enough to cast me

Lately she's been on it like she tryna own me

50 shades, she don't know me well enough to catch me

I'm telling you the whole world waiting on me

50 shades, they don't know me well enough to catch me

50 shades

Sir, it's your boy, Kirk Franklin

I will text you, alright?

So dope to see you the other day

Your music is coming from a nice well, sir

Stay hungry, keep chasing, alright?

You're free here, brother

You're free here

Alright, one

[Christon Gray]

You know sometimes I can't believe it's you

They used to think that we in different lanes

We knew this could be dangerous

And I can't do what people do

Just for the sake of making it

It's such a love and hate relationship

Skyzoo, they playing favorites

And man, I don't want to be like nobody else

But if it happens, it'll be a accident

I'll still be cool with it

As lng as my album don't stay on the shelf

But I know this life is beautiful

Too many things almost made me forget

That this is what I'm called to do

Spitting the real, not the autotune

You know this game ain't for the faint at heart

I try to remember everything you taught

I hope you like the picture that you painted Art

And mom, I know you wanna play your part

It's difficult to point this gun at the man I hope I don't become

For Mya, her mother, and me

Don't leave, don't leave

A wise man once told me some words worth repeating

He said: In this life glory is fleeting

In this life glory is fleeting
