Skies Are My Home

Lyrics

[Chorus] City never sleeps where I'm from It's hard to find relief where I'm from Where I'm from Where I'm from Found a new home in the skies Weakened souls beat the strong in disguise [Verse 1] Look I'm from the city of gangbangers, schemers Where heavy metal turn soft-spoken to screamers But I was a dreamer, caught up in the hype Products of environment, typical stereotype Forced to fight for life, gain stripes under moonlight Vision impaired, slowly preparing for toon sites Like Lara Croft in training, my energy never draining I was born with this identity, not Matt Damon, uh Midnight cloud rise are when I write the most Former quotes out of dead air, memories are ghost town DJ, play a song for my boo At night I think of you, don't get it misconstrued Never missed a [?] for a plate of food There's a purpose for this gift, but they rather refuse Nourishment for the spirit Main goal is to unite all colors and creeds in a manner that's not [?] To nefarious leaders and those who follow them Know the belly of the beast aiming to swallow him But you can't though, I'm far from a saint though Protected by God, this ain't rapping, I paint though, yeah [Chorus] The city never sleeps where I'm from It's hard to find relief where I'm from Where I'm from Where I'm from The skies are my home now Clouds all around, I don't feel that alone now Destiny is calling, got me looking for the phone now Tell her look up, the skies are my home now It's my home now The skies are my home now [Verse 2] Looking for the real, this is where it is I've been fantasizing 'bout it since a little kid Lot of times I was unsure a little bit Now I'm walking on a dream for the thrill of it Here's a penny for your thoughts, dance in the rain Embrace the pain, that's how clarity's gained Screw the money and fame, I'm a believer in change So I like to make sense of things Excuse the grammar, that's that Alabama slang They was playing Madden in the hood I was on [?] and [?], taking flows and Monga, Futurama But still held it down for honor when they needed me And I ain't proud but I need to be These battle scars proof life never defeated me And never will, most of your songs, we never feel When I'm gone, let it be known I kept it real [Chorus] The city never sleeps where I'm from It's hard to find relief where I'm from Where I'm from Where I'm from The skies are my home now Clouds all around, I don't feel that alone now Destiny is calling, got me looking for the phone now Tell her look up, the skies are my home now This my home now The skies are my home now
