[Intro] Up in the sky, my n***as will play me Alright, I'm ready [Verse 1] Ugh, it's still a mission just for me to listen Wake up every morning feeling tunnel vision You know them stakes is high You know them times have changed And nobody is waiting for you to get it right The pressure, I used to entertain lectures Follow suit behind opinions abroad See this is how you find your place in the stars The game changes every 6 months Keep your mind sharp, stay ahead of the curve You know the usual I witness n***as at heights you couldn't fathom Fall to lows in the blink of an eye Huh, scary Pardon me and my pessimism or shall I say My confidence has been Godly watching these clowns What a laughable view I'm learning there's a difference between what you actually do And dream talk, that's what these actions will prove I keep my mouth shut n***a! Labeled rookie, but experience varies to veteran status I'm clever when active My head is intact If I ever stray away from what my mission implies Please believe it's just to better my pa**ion I'm from a city where n***as ain't got a check if you trappin' And dread n***as keep it tucked in case a threat is in action Man, thank you Lord, look at me, heavenly [Hook] Oh oh oh Up in the sky, ambitions they plague me I know it's wrong but please entertain me Hate on my vision, they tell me I'm crazy Oh, if only you knew this world ain't gon save me I pray to God, but too much has phased me Oh, I'm just what you made, how could you blame me? Mama don't worry this world ain't gon change me Even when I'm on the ground, just know that you raised me [Verse 2] These days I tell my n***as to pray for me Because I been slippin' Infatuated with ideas No peace will reside here My peers fear being irrelevant Grinding for the sake of exposure, cool Fame who*es keep your game face on I'm thinking wider, vast areas It's expansion among kings Okay, okay, let's slow it down Cuz going over n***as heads don't get a paycheck, right? I feel it, bet Well let me talk my sh** I am not threatened Matter fact I'm so past stressing, you half lesson Great value versions of n***as who lack presence Don't get me started I just call it how I see it But please believe, you got a record? That's cool with me You ride your little wave? That's cool with me You got your little flow, auto-tune to please? But none of you motherf**ers can fool with me LaCue, n***a [Hook] (Oh oh oh) Up in the sky, ambitions they plague me I know it's wrong but please entertain me Hate on my vision, they tell me I'm crazy Oh if only you knew this world ain't gon save me I pray to God, but too much has phased me Oh just what you made, how could you blame me? Mama don't worry this world ain't gon change me Even when I'm on the ground, just know that you raised me
