Touch the Sky

I never knew what I was looking for in life
I just believed the shit would work out right
Wildin' early on, I really could have been fucked up bad
But I've only grown stronger with close calls that I've had
Dawg, I been grindin' last four years and a half
Non stop to hit a level I've been dreaming to grab
It's almost solid, I just need to outlast
Desires to remain complacent with the task that's at hand

What really is enough?
They had plenty of bad bitches my niggas thorough
Just wishing I'd get the attention and adoration
So I keep missing important times to complete the mission
I apologize a thousand times
I'm sure it seem crazy the way I'm moving in your mind
I had a vision, chose pursuing with a passion
If I fail, at least a nigga wasn't lacking

This about more than rapping
Be nice to put my niggas on the map
But no capping
Instead of hanging out doing nothin' we creating magic
What we got electric, you can miss me with the static
Just keep focused, and stay patient that it'll happen
But if shit keep the same, homie I can't complain
Plain to see, we all wishing we could touch the sky
But the journey's most fulfilling when you risin'

This world is such a crazy place
I've arrived
I'm just tryna set it right, yeah
This life is such a crazy thing
To survive
I'm just tryna make it by

This world is such a crazy place
To get by
I'm just tryna do it right, do it right
This life is such a crazy thing
I won't lie
It'd be nice to touch the sky, touch the sky

Let me explain, see, it's joy and it's pain, right?
And me? I'm somewhere in between
Tryin' to maintain, right
Planet spinnin', got me shooting with no aim
And all I think about is sinning
While I go against the grain, right?
We ain't the same, you's a pessimistic mess
Step into a room and you a deficit at best
Run away from anything that put you to the test
And you never offered nothing, that could benefit the rest, nah

I don't be trippin', if you do, it's all good though
Lace you up, like them other players should though
'Cause this the type of thing, that's usually understood
Operate how you wanna, versus doing what you could, though
This place is loco, and worse for broke hoes ain't no tappin'
Got me grappling with fate reversing chokeholds
More than a piece of my heart, I gave the total

So if I do fuck the world, I'll make her vocal
Now, listen G, you will never get no sympathy
The game's crooked, and it's lookin' for some synergy
You can't resist, you conduct it like a symphony
You dreamt of fame, but you waking up to infamy
So please believe that the game's got a fee
And it's due everyday break of dawn
'Cause death comes like a thief, so the heart beats brief
Like a sparrow, one glimpse, and it's gone, one glimpse, and it's gone

This world is such a crazy place
I've arrived
I'm just tryna set it right, yeah
This life is such a crazy thing
To survive
I'm just tryna make it by

This world is such a crazy place
To get by
I'm just trying to do it right, yeah
This life is such a crazy thing
I won't lie
It'd be nice to touch the sky, touch the sky

All my life, I looked up at the sky
Never knew why, tried to do right
But that didn't always suffice, so now I
Reminisce on the things I've done, place I've been
Pain that I've overcome, there ain't enough time
So I must find peace, the G in me, wants me to see
That 25 was a blessing, I'm keeping count
'Cause way too often I'm stressing, it's now or never I'm pressin'
I've learned enough of these lessons, and so I
Sharpen my blade on the daily, this life we living is crazy

And I've been patiently waiting
'Cause something's gotta give, any time I can feel it now
I'm getting high, 'cause I been feeling down
I may be tired, but I ain't sittin' out
I got a vision and I'm sticking with it
Getting to a rhythm now

'Cause I've learning how to go with the flow
And I'm where I'm supposed to
Shit, that's the hope that would be dope, huh?
I guess you never really know
All I can do is stand on my own
Take care my folks and be prepared for the most
'Cause one day I'll be the one making the toast

Where would I be if?
I didn't take a second just to breathe in
A hundred miles an hour for no reason
Insane, day by day
Just tryna maintain, just tryna maintain

This world is such a crazy place
To get by
I'm just tryna do it right, yeah
This life is such a crazy thing
I won't lie
It'd be nice to touch the sky, touch the sky
