Doms Gauge - Shoot 4 The Sky lyrics

[Intro] Don't know where I'm at I'm standing at the back And I'm tired of waiting Waiting here in line Hoping that I find What I've been chasing [Verse 1 : Doms Gauge] I'm in the back of line and I'm patient But I'm really getting tired of waiting My mind has been racing 'Cause what I have been chasing Is finally mine for the taking But every time that I aim for the sky I just end up right back here In the same place that I was last year I just wanna make change like a cashier But they're saying that's weird Change, we don't need that My old friends all wanna hold me back Back in the day it was "listen to the homie rap" Now its "oh Doms he's whack" Give me fake handshakes and phony daps Then they go on facebook and they find me and add me They pretend that they're fine and they're happy But really in the end they're just trying to drag me (down) They want me to be stuck on the ground So they can laugh at me like crusty the clown But I've been thru the ups and the downs And I've had enough of it now I ain't f**ing around I'ma blow everything up in this town Till its ashes and dust See I've had to adjust To the lack of the trust in this world The pa**ion and lust for these girls Trapped in a rut Doing what I gotta do to survive So I see thru the truth and the lies Don't know where I'm headed but I'm soon to arrive I'ma give it all I got never losing my pride I ain't gonna let em chew me alive Shove me to the back and then move me aside They want me on the bottom but I'm choosing to fly So I aim for the stars and I shoot for the sky [Hook] I shot for the sky I'm stuck on the ground So why do I try I know I'm gonna fall down I thought I could fly So why did I drown Never know why it's coming down, down, down [Verse 2 : Doms Gauge] Down I fall but my skull isn't cracked I take two steps forward and they pulling me back I'm tryna make the cut but my knife's dull and its flat So they picking on the kid like a bully in cla** They can't fully adapt So they say that its hopeless And I'll never see the day it approaches But I got my head up in the game and I'm focused Shooting for the sky and I pray that I don't miss Yeah the sky is the limit But they tell you otherwise and advise you to listen I don't wanna be the same I decide to be different So the people say I'm bugging like a fly in the kitchen Who knows how long that my time will be ticking But as long as I'm alive and I'm kicking You ain't blinding my vision My eyes on the prize and the ribbon So I'm given my all in the lines that I've written (down) Still I'm down in the drain With some bad habits that are drowning my pain Tryna rise up to clouds I'ma aim But my feet feel stuck so the ground I remain Wow what a shame It's falling apart But all of my heart Gets involved in my art I ain't gonna curl up and die or crawl to the dark I was told to stand tall from the start So I try to keep positive Even though this pit we in seems bottomless It's all gone to sh** I lost my grip Of the wheel and mind went along with it But I'm confident I got a lot to give I can taste it, I've waited so long for this So I went up to the edge of the tallest cliff Looked up to the sky and then shot for it [Hook] [Bridge : Doms Gauge] I'm losing my mind I've been running in place I'm gonna shoot for the sky Take me up and away x2 [Verse 3 : Doms Gauge] If life gives you a hand then play your cards right It can get hectic up in a second like a bar fight And it might leave a bigger wound than a shark bite Tryna shine like a bright star on a dark night Never coming down , I'ma stand so tall Head up in the clouds, hoping that I don't fall But if I leave and you never get a phone call sh**, it was to nice know y'all
