[Intro]
Call Me Ace
Yo

[Verse 1]
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
Ain’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 Ace 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Already 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
All I hear is voices sayin’ keep tryin’ keep tryin’

[Chorus]
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
