just wulf - gray area lyrics
[hook: just wulf]
we try to live life like it’s black and white
isn’t it obvious that some people aren’t alike?
i represent a place they call the middle ground
it’s the gray area that i’m trying to figure out
the gray area is what i’m trying to figure out
the gray area is what i’m trying to figure out
i represent a place they call the middle ground
it’s the grey area that i’m trying to figure out
[verse 1: just wulf]
my complexion is too complex to comprehend
so don’t ask me questions about my skin
check all that apply, trying to box me in
next to “other:”, i write the word, “human”
you can’t categorize my ethnicity
i identify myself a little differently
and at the same time, i’m trying to figure out
what it means to be mixed in a world full of doubt
n-body knew exactly how to interact with me
when they saw my skin, i would just act naturally
their perceptions would kick in at rapid speeds
i received greetings of both “h-llo” and “what’s happenin’?”
…race holds the power of illusion
one glance at a stranger already draws conclusions
being judged off of skin color is just pure insanity
until they choose to see me for my full humanity
[hook: just wulf]
we try to live life like it’s black and white
isn’t it obvious that some people aren’t alike?
i represent a place they call the middle ground
it’s the gray area that i’m trying to figure out
the gray area is what i’m trying to figure out
the gray area is what i’m trying to figure out
i represent a place they call the middle ground
it’s the grey area that i’m trying to figure out
[verse 2: just wulf]
…and i’m still in this paradox
being mixed is more than mismatching a pair of socks
it’s hard to find an outfit that’s color-coordinated
when your dna is scrambled genetically in the matrix
a makeshift persona in a man-made environment
where indicating your identity is a requirement
but trying to convince race into an early retirement
will make the world colorblind, so i’m writing this
to say, acknowledge me for who i am and not
the way, my pigmentation is displayed
because if you’re truly curious about my family tree
let’s discuss, our history, over bubble tea
sankofa, looking back to move forward
like checking your rear view mirror to merge over
to those who have road rage, i’ll leave you with these four words
“i have a dream”, but in reality
[hook: just wulf]
we try to live life like it’s black and white
isn’t it obvious that some people aren’t alike?
i represent a place they call the middle ground
it’s the gray area that i’m trying to figure out
the gray area is what i’m trying to figure out
the gray area is what i’m trying to figure out
i represent a place they call the middle ground
it’s the grey area that i’m trying to figure out
[outro: sampled]
i have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character
i have a dream today!
