Sky High (2023)

Lyrics

[Chorus: Xander Goodheart & Chris Webby] I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life I stare down at my view, what a beautiful sight Long days and lonely nights, that's how I got to this height It got me livin' in the limelight I've been sittin' sky high (Sky high) I got here on my own time Ain't have a doubt in my mind That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High, yeah) [Verse 1: Chris Webby] To live like I do, it's a dream come true From broke as hell to these bills I thumb through, yeah So sky high ain't no calls come through Caught a loss or two, but that's the cost of the view Independent royalty, go and check the royalties Every quarterly is up and up as I see more of thesе Snakes comin', tryna take from it So I went from rockin' a rеtainer to my retainer payin' my lawyer fee Boy are these times I live in surreal From vacuum sealin' zips that I deal To vacuumin' floors in my house on the hill With a sale price set over a mil', shit feel Like I'm livin' someone else's life, count my blessings Every single time I go to bed at night to keep my head on right Yeah, my specs on, Uncle June when I set my sights As I'm whippin' with a Betty White 'bout to catch a flight In my late seventies as a faded celebrity Lookin' back on memories, livin' on what they netted me As I'm tellin' these incredible stories Embedded on the halls of history, the hieroglyphics show a legacy Of legendary energy, now the scholars'll mention me Like Walt and Jesse all on account of the way this pen and me Have built the kind of chemistry that no chemist has ever seen It was all a dream back in '17, now we in the sky, so-so-so [Chorus: Xander Goodheart] I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life I stare down at my view, what a beautiful sight Long days and lonely nights, that's how I got to this height It got me livin' in the limelight I've been sittin' sky high (Sky high) I got here on my own time Ain't have a doubt in my mind That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High) [Verse 2: Chris Webby] So high, oh my, I be gone with the wind They see Webby go by and don't want it with him Wear a hat to keep the limelight off of the brim All while I continue followin' my callin' within And I ain't fallin' again, shit, I've fallen a lot But I'm still givin' this motherfucker all that I got Went from callin' out of work, now I'm callin' the shots Went from the underground with the sound, crawled to the top They all are in shock like Jolteon is on the attack I channel focus like I'm Obi-Wan, go off and relax Either that or resort to react And smack 'em so hard they'll do a palm readin' from the mark of the slap Sayin', "This line means Chris might be crazy" Just slightly, switch my speed, racing Thoughts in my brain which might mean lately I've been losin' every single marble God gave me This has been the manager, the writer and performer Sometimes I feel like I painted myself right into a corner And I'm somewhere on the border of several different disorders But I keep myself in order while pleasin' all my supporters Now I'm stacking like a hoarder whose out of room in they drawers And all I do is record But everyone want a seat in the musical chair until it's you on the floor All of these stupid awards, all the reviews and rewards ain't what we doin' it for, so [Chorus: Xander Goodheart] I'm sittin' at the top tonight, it's 'bout to be that way for life I stare down at my view, what a beautiful sight Long days and lonely nights, that's how I got to this height It got me livin' in the limelight I've been sittin' sky high (Sky high) I got here on my own time Ain't have a doubt in my mind That I've been sittin' sky high (Sky High)
