ALL WHITE SKY

Yeah, yeah
I remember as a child
I was really wildin' out
It's been a long time since my inner child came out
But in a world so drained
and adolescent had the energy
Playing in the snow like it was a distant fantasy
If only a man could see the kid that he was
Instead of pushing back and giving that up
Now that spirit is gone
Society told us to move on
And now we got to deal with the now
Remember we were kids?
No one ever told us how to live
No one ever told us what do do
We were breaking all the rules
And nowadays we haven't got a clue
Construction paper with some super glue
And now we uninspired like a childhood retirement home
Flashbacks and deja vu can put you right in the zone
And you won't even know why
It's sending chills down your spine
Let it enter my mind
Because I'm looking at an all-white sky

I ain't even trippin'
This is for the children and the kiddies who just want to make-believe
Cuz' once you get to living
Ain't nobody listens
Ain't nobody cares how hard it be
And I be living my life
Living in my highlights
Childhood is never saying goodbye
And even though I'm fed up
I got to keep my head up when I'm looking at an all-white sky

Listen
No one else cares what I think
And all my ideas they want to wash em' down the sink
Straight down the faucet and end up in a sewer
With a mind like mine, it's so hard to maneuver
I was riding in a scooter way before I had the bike
And working on production way before I had the mic
And now im out of sight, out of space when I write
And all these other artists think I'm doing this for spite?
No, I don't think so
They used to make fun of me cuz' I think slow
Nerdy, cuz' I'm Urkel next to Winslow
They cuttin' off my wings bro
Cuz' I'm about to take off
Putting in the hard work, take a couple days off
Mind on my music and I know its gonna pay off soon
They said to aim for the stars, I just aim for the moon
And when I land up on the moon, that's when I aim for the stars
That's the way that I fly
When I'm looking at an all-white sky

I ain't even trippin'
This is for the children and the kiddies who just want to make-believe
Cuz' once you get to living
Ain't nobody listens
Ain't nobody cares how hard it be
And I be living my life
Living in my highlights
Childhood is never saying goodbye
And even though I'm fed up
I got to keep my head up when I'm looking at an all-white sky
I--
I ain't even trippin'
This is for the children and the kiddies who just want to make-believe
Cuz' once you get to living
Ain't nobody listens
Ain't nobody cares how hard it be
And I be living my life
Living in my highlights
Childhood is never saying goodbye
And even though I'm fed up (aye)
I got to keep my head up when I'm looking at an all-white sky

Growing up
Mama wanted me to be a good boy
She said whatever you do is on you so make a good choice
She said don't do nothing stupid
I know you love making noise
I said "you right"
I can't front on that
Can I chill with the boys?
When we chillin' in school
Doing what we gotta do
My sharp tongue gets me in trouble
My teacher says that I'm rude
They probably think I'm a fool
Slave to my work like a tool
They wanna see me in ropes
Like a monkey housed in a zoo

Tell em' bring the snow
We don't want no heat
We don't want no smoke
Plow up in the streets
This be for the kids
This be for the youth
In a world filled with lies
Who gon' speak the truth
Frostbyt3 & It'z Juan
Hop up in the booth
Take a look at me
Now take a look at you
I be living proof
Music never dies
Take a look around
You busy looking at an all white sky
