Skies
Yeah, this is, this is, this is
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Yeah, this is, this is, this is
The grass is green on the other side
But you cut it up and so the snakes will show
I got a one way ticket out this town
Wait, never really knew I would go
But for my damn sake
I ain't gonna sit, wait, this is my time and I know that
I ain't 'bout to waste another damn year
Sittin' here, thinkin' if I'm gonna make it and blow
It go Circa '91, as we follow the trajectory
So check the text that I left for me, I do this 'til the death of me
But I'm fruitless in my victory, if losin' myself and my history
'Cause all of these systems depicting me
They buildin' us up then eventually
We wear it like jeans or American denim
We act like our genes have American in 'em
We fearin' these mirrors so how we be livin'
When given reflection no merit within 'em
So tell me how much you wanna be like them
Eat like them, wanna be breathe like them
Change my speech 'til my teeth like them
Teach myself I got a reach like them
'Til you realize then, that you're denied when
You'll never be like them
I got a free mind when I'm stayin'
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way uh, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, uh, way up, way up, uh
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way uh, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, uh, way up, way up, uh (yeah, this is, this is, this is)
Way up, I'm on my way up
Deuces to haters 'cause my fingers raised up, they goin' way up
Forever, will never, I never gave up, I'm goin' way up
All of them bringin' me down, but I'm way up, I'm goin' way up
Straight up to the skies
They say some stories need to wait to be told
But I need a way to unfold
All of the weight of the people before me
Who never got chances to speak from they soul
That's why when I'm speakin' it cold
Mamas degrees ain't valid here so
We never agree to be lesser than gold
'Cause in our most basic of element know
We shine, just like the sun gets, remind me that I need to run less
From my insecurities holdin' me back
And that's makin' me feelin' I'm one breath away
From saying I'm calling it quits
When both of my feet feelin' heavy, it gets
To thinkin' that I got the weight of the world
On both of my shoulders or will it unfurl?
You see, I'm flawed as they come, huh?
It's odd to forget where you from, huh
I'm asking myself, "Ruby, when did you change?
Was it when you believed that they won, huh?"
But I'm goin' up in the sky, high, I'm tired of livin' that nine to five
I'm aimin' for higher
I'll never retire, I'm givin' a riot, no closed eyes
When the cards down, I will never back down
Put us on the map, it's a wrap when I'm back now, yuh
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way uh, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, uh, way up, way up, uh
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way uh, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, ay, make 'em understand me that I'm
Way up, way up, uh, way up, way up (yeah, this is, this is, this is)
Yeah, this is, this is, this is
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
Way up, I'm on my way up (way up)
