Mike Dreams - In The Sky lyrics

(Chorus) Oh, up there in the sky I'm trying to find my dreams They're not that far away Oh whoa, they said we couldn't fly But I'm spreading out my wings And today I'll find a way (Verse 1) They say oppression is the best fuel For inspiration Nothing better can light a fire than swimming In this cess pool Of stressful opposition from the rest When you're tryna make progression With they foot upon your neck When your mind is on next And they living in the past I'm off the plantation They still chillin' in the gra** Picking in the pasture I play my own master Carving the future's history Writing my own chapters I guarantee that my novel will be a novelty When I was growing up People labeled me as an oddity Cuz I wouldn't to change to the ways They say I oughta be Was made to be different This my optimistic odyssey They tell me think logically Think inside reality But what's more realistic Then getting to where you gotta be My concentration is headed for constellations My eyes on the prize Can't settle for consolation (Chorus) (Verse 2) Man, I've had these visions ever since I was a kid They probably came about when I would just be at the crib All by myself, very imaginative Just soaking up life The lights and images My brother told me stay out them streets And so I did Though he's gone, that promise I keep And so he lives Now I'm just trying to get to do The things he never did But people keep on telling me that's Not how I'm supposed to live Like I'm not supposed to dream I shouldn't have to defend My desires just to lead the way Your hatred I don't need today One of these crabs in a bucket Causing a ruckus ‘Cuz I feel it's my destiny, child To get it jumpin' jumpin Till the day they say my name Read the writing's on the wall So now I don't hear a thing I live high above it all Don't fear nothing but God So I do not budge at all They praying on me to fall I tell ‘em no not at all C'mon (Chorus) (Bridge - Tameya Clark) All my life I been running, running They said I wouldn't be nothing, nothing But I been working hard, to become something Awww, all my life I been running, running They said I wouldn't be nothing, no! But no matter what they say I'm gonna make it to the sky, anyway! (Verse 3 - 8 Bars) So just ignore what they tell you Keep pushing it to the limit And tell ‘em that you ain't stopping Until you decide to finish ‘Till all they doubt is diminished And you show ‘em who you are I got my guns loaded And I'm shooting for the stars The mission's the ammunition Busting shots until they listen Or ‘til the chamber is empty There's no weapon formed against me My generation just want our piece of the pie So if you with me, grab a fork and grab a plate And come and meet me in the sky (Chorus)
