Hey… little baby, In your… mother’s arms Will you grow up, to be the good son… Wearing your father’s charm Hey… little baby Just a few days old You better listen to that good book And just… do… what… you’re… told Hey… little baby Come take my hand One day you’ll be a singer In a rock and roll band Hey… little baby You’re so happy and free I wanna be just like you But don’t grow up to be like me

Verse 1 It’s time to wake up And I’m on my way I see the sky through my window Now it’s time to play I got no worries or troubles No thoughts of dismay All these beautiful people It’s a beautiful day Verse 2 (Tyler Durdin) I wanna dance, mommy take off my shoes So I can feel the grass on my feet and take in the view I’m just waiting for you, let’s take a wade in the pool Or hit the park and watch the dogs from the shade where it’s cool I don’t wanna take a nap I’m happy breakin the rules And chasin butterflies through the trees and racin to school I love… everything, everyone is so dang cool But if you ask my dad, he’ll tell ya “heads are so damn rude” You seem a little stressed out but dad it ain’t that bad How bout you turn the tunes up and come and take my hand We feel so free when we younger and I’m not pressin for time I think adults are in a rush cause they obsessed with goodbyes I know, sometimes I get too carried away So I’m a little energetic when you weary to play But I love ya 3000… Stark to Andre I got the jet pack sparked, so I’m not parkin all day HOOK 1 I feel so… free The music took control of me and now I can’t stop dancin Imagine where my feet’ll take me There’s no need to chase me, I’ma take my chances Dance… with… me Can’t you see we got an empty canvas No matter where the rhythm takes us It’s too weak to break us If we keep on dancing…. Dance! Verse 3 (Cash The PRO) I hope that people spread their wings like angels that I dream about And wish that when we saying us there's no one that we leavin' out And GO THE HUMAN RACE is the cheer I'd get my team to shout And trust and love and faith and joy are things we wouldn't even doubt Family just proves the bruise means so much more than blood And rainbows only mean that I can play around in mud That's why flowers and friends are my favorite type of bud So if everyone is armed that just means that there's more hugs We could all be lucky if we just give us a chance Just look and you can find the love but give more than a glance Cause theres so much inside of me that I wanna enhance If you take me by the hands and let's dance HOOK 2 I feel so… free The music took control of me and now I can’t stop dancin Imagine where my feet’ll take me There’s no need to chase me, I’ma take my chances Dance… with… me Can’t you see we got an empty canvas No matter where the rhythm takes us It’s too weak to break us If we keep on dancing…. Dance! Verse 4 (Tyler and Cash) Tag you’re it Nope, I tagged you back Nah no tag backs Aww come on that’s wack It’s just me and you Aiight give me a head start Ok I’ma count to five You gotta say on your mark No that’s for running Or when you racing a car It don’t matter, you can’t catch me You think you smart? I’m not as dumb as you look I’m not as dumb as you ARE! You’re as dumb as your face Har-dee-har-har Outro You can take all my toys away But you can’t stop me from dancing
3.	Chapter 3: "Limitless" feat. Adrianna Sgarlata Hill 05:33	lyrics	buy track
VERSE 1 (Tyler Durdin) You can be... anything you wanna be Do anything you wanna do Say anything you wanna say A winner, never gonna lose Never choose to, bruised? Get off the mat Cause everything you gettin ya get to go and give it all back Go to college get that knowledge is a solid attack Set your course for the white house and follow the map I know you thinking this, how do I keep it on track? Simple, do the right thing and tie your feet to the gas Go to church, work hard, never lie, and don’t rat Show respect, say please, don’t cheat, know the facts Yeah, follow these rules you’ll have mad bread to break up You wanna be successful stay in school, get an A-plus Stay tough, but I got news that may come as a shake up If you believe in miracles quit dreaming lady wake up Say what? Yeah most a dem stories babe they made up So keep shooting 3-balls but you’ll never score a lay-up HOOK 1 You’re on your own Soon you’ll discover what they didn’t tell you You can’t count on anybody else There’s no magic beans or spells You’re conditioned Limitless I believe, I can be, whatever, no doubt, no limits SINGING VERSE 1 Gotta follow the rules and sacrifice You can make it to the top if you act alright Do you think they lied to me? They said I’d be a star if I played the game Tell the truth, be honest, I could stay the same So what, do you want from me? I wanna believe I wanna be free I’m… gonna be… What they want me to be VERSE 2 (Atlas) This world is vast, full of space and opportunity A treasure trove for those who translate fluently The lessons hidden in plain sight, between the lines Reading the signs, applying knowledge in real time Finding meaning in minutia, the day to day Keeping forward motion while the trends tend to fade away So you can spend your life chasing, Or use your energy creating statements, reflecting greatness See, the one who plans is empowered by self While the one with their hand out? Shall never stand out This is the standard route, producing worker bees Souls on ice, never able to raise the mercury Critically crippled by the reaper's sickle Living with one foot in the grave, the making of a slave But you are limitless, born of the infinite Fully equipped, never forget what you're working with! HOOK 2 You’re on your own Soon you’ll discover what they didn’t tell you You can’t count on anybody else There’s no magic beans or spells You’re conditioned VERSE 3 (Cash The PRO) Don’t stop get it get it yolo and those other gimmicks Gotta run the human race can’t place if you ain't it Be all you can be just do it if you wanna win it Every 60 seconds that you livin is another minute See how obvious that f----- sound Be conservative, left is right and up is down That's why we start you on a seesaw, say study the 3 r 's And how it was before… if you wanna see more (heehaw) Carry that pack, get married and fat And front like it's all good while you stand in the back And in fact you get some extra we gonna need that tax Just saying, hey this is the way We're like, get it, if you don’t we'll give you a safe space Or at least a pill to help you chill while you save face Cause you can make it on your own you don’t need anyone's help Just be original like everyone else HOOK 3 You’re on your own  Soon you’ll discover what they didn’t tell you You’re on your own  Soon you’ll discover what they didn’t tell you   OUTRO I believe… The world ain’t ready… for me There’s nothing I can’t achieve They told me I could be any… thing… at... all They told me life was a breeze I can be, what I wanna be, so set me… free

about

Grey Expectations is a 3 Volume concept album that blends various genres including hip hop, classic rock, funk, R&B, soul, folk, blues, and country. The album is presented as a book, with each song representing a specific stage or chapter in one's life.

The journey progresses chronologically from childhood to midlife crisis and is told from the perspective of various characters as they grow older and begin to wrestle with self doubt, external fears, and outside pressure.

** The album liner booklet is available as a FREE BONUS item. It includes lyrics and illustrations (by Liv Caspersson), which we encourage you to use as a guide on this musical journey.

The story starts with Volume 1, which takes place between birth and high school/college graduation.
