I'm feeling like I got a story to tell,
but who will listen?
This rapper plays guitar, he sings like
True
Edition
I'm only thinking about love,
as if I'm writing fiction
And my momma said since birth,
I've been on this mission, so
I see why the doctor yells, cut it out
This dream of mine gets no playtime
I see sections of my life in chunks
Like
Radio
Raheem, so I gotta do the right thing
With the word out of tune
But, if I'm honest, I feel like I made it
I bet my bank account laughed
at that last statement
Cause if you don't see what I see,
then you won't believe me
So I hope you leave you
wondering and see like
Stevie
Because these dreams are like brown,
and that's what's cool about it
If you can't see it, you can feel it,
and that's what's true about it
Yo, if life is what you make it,
then let's make something dope
I can see it, I can be it, yo,
tell me that I won't
Yo, put your hands in the sky today
Throw your dreams 10 miles away
Stop thinking about yesterday
And I'm bettin' you
ain't got long to wait
And touch heaven, heaven
Put your hands in the sky today
Let your dreams see miles away
Stop thinkin' bout yesterday
And I'm bettin' you
ain't got long to wait
And touch heaven, heaven
And you the coolest kid on the block
But you don't wanna go to school
cause your shoes ain't hot
Rich folks at lunch and bowls
and you eatin' frittatas
In elementary that shows you who
you are and who you not
It's funny how we equate the life here
They call us kids,
but we demonstrate with men fed
I wonder what age I decided
I didn't care
When they would say,
race your heads in the clouds
I knew it was true,
I wasn't meant for the ground
Never needed a roof because
the word was sound
And it couldn't be false because
they spoke too loud
I'm here now,
and some told me it's all about
What you're willing to do,
what you're willing to push
Once you're willing to move,
well I'll be willing these swords
Cause that's how my daddy raised me
What my momma prayed for and
what the streets gave me
And now I got this mic,
I'ma never get it back
I'ma give you all the secrets,
I'ma show you all the facts
Yo, I pray the same for my son
You ain't gotta sell drugs an
d you ain't gotta have a gun
Put your hands in the sky today
Put your dreams ten miles away
Stop thinkin' bout yesterday
And I'm bettin' you
ain't got long to wait
And touch heaven, heaven
Put your hands in the sky today
Put your dreams ten miles away
Stop thinkin' bout yesterday
And I'm bettin' you ain't
got long to wait
And touch heaven, yeah, heaven
Put your hands up,
keep them up there
Show the world you're tough
Times getting hard, nah,
we ain't giving up
No, they ain't seen nothing yet
Put your hands up,
keep them up there
Show the world you're tough
Times getting hard, nah,
we ain't giving up
No, they ain't seen nothing yet
Put your hands in the sky today
Throw your dreams 10 miles away
Stop thinking about yesterday
And I'm betting,
you ain't got a long way
And touch heaven, heaven
Put your hands in the sky today,
though your dreams seem miles away
Stop thinkin' bout yesterday,
and I'm bettin'
You ain't got long to wait,
and touch heaven, heaven
Put your hands in the sky today,
though your dreams seem miles away
Stop thinkin' bout yesterday,
and I'm bettin'
You ain't got long to wait,
and touch heaven, heaven
Put your hands in the sky today,
though your dreams seem miles away
Stop thinkin' bout yesterday,
and I'm bettin'
You ain't got long to wait, until it's heaven,
heaven
