[Intro]
Kevin Make It Sekc
[Verse 1]
I keep my head in the clouds
'Cause It's scary on the ground
I don't know who be around
They tryna take a black man down (No)
They don't wanna see me strive (No-ooh)
They just wanna see me die (No-ooh)
Then the cops goin' lie
While your family go and cry (No-ooh-ooh)
They don't want to see me have the same opportunities (No-ooh-ooh)
They just wanna see me bang, so they can say "see?"
Yeah
"Look what the savages do" (Do)
"Yeah, look at there attitudes" ('tudes)
"They only know shooting and stealing so
KILL 'EM ALL, KILL 'EM ALL, KILL 'EM ALL
Because...
You was only really living if you living how we want (Are you really worth much?) (Want)
You was only really worth it if you doing what we want (Are you really worth much?) (Want)
You was only really working if you working how we want (Are you really worth much?)
You ain't really worth nothing" (You ain't really worth nothing it at all)
[Hook]
I keep my head in the clouds
'Cause It's scary on the ground
I keep my head in the cloud
I don't wanna come down
Yeah, I keep my head in the cloud
'Cause all my brothers in the clouds
All my sisters in the clouds
'Cause they put us in the ground (Ooohhh)
'Cause they think they holding us down
But we never stay down (Oh-hoo)
Yeah, we always rise up
Eyes up to the cloud (Oh-hoo)
Yeah, we always rise up
Eyes up to the cloud (Yeah)
So let's look to the sky with our heads in the clouds (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
If you was not playing a sport
Then guess what?, then you're mission abort (Oh-no)
White man wanna own the team, so you better step on the court (Oh-hoo)
"And if you in college, you ain't getting no salary but you better burn all the calories"
"Will you understand if I say it?, you better do what they say"
You better make a brand new song
With a dance to go along
When you want to make people laugh
Then just make jokes about being black
And If you want to well with rap
Then rap about selling the crack
Then rap about having shooters all across the map
Because they love that
[Bridge]
We goin' make 'em look bad (Always got cast a villain)
We goin' have, make 'em, make 'em look bad (Always got us dying in the feelings)
We goin' have the world, make the world bad (Always gotting us looking like a thug)
We goin' have the world say black (Never-ever-ever should of)
[Hook]
I keep my head in the clouds
'Cause It's scary on the ground
I keep my head in the cloud
I don't wanna come down
Yeah, I keep my head in the cloud
'Cause all my brothers in the clouds
All my sisters in the clouds
'Cause they put us in the ground (Ooohhh)
'Cause they think they holding us down
But we never stay down (Oh-hoo)
Yeah, we always rise up
Eyes up to the cloud (Oh-hoo)
Yeah, we always rise up
Eyes up to the cloud (Yeah)
So let's look to the sky with our heads in the clouds (Yeah)
