Skies Are My Home

[Chorus]
City never sleeps where I’m from
It’s hard to find relief where I’m from
Where I’m from
Where I’m from
Found a new home in the skies
Weakened souls beat the strong in disguise

[Verse 1]
Look
I’m from the city of gangbangers, schemers
Where heavy metal turn soft-spoken to screamers
But I was a dreamer, caught up in the hype
Products of environment, typical stereotype
Forced to fight for life, gain stripes under moonlight
Vision impaired, slowly preparing for toon sites
Like Lara Croft in training, my energy never draining
I was born with this identity, not Matt Damon, uh
Midnight cloud rise are when I write the most
Former quotes out of dead air, memories are ghost town
DJ, play a song for my boo
At night I think of you, don’t get it misconstrued
Never missed a [?] for a plate of food
There’s a purpose for this gift, but they rather refuse
Nourishment for the spirit
Main goal is to unite all colors and creeds in a manner that’s not [?]
To nefarious leaders and those who follow them
Know the belly of the beast aiming to swallow him
But you can’t though, I’m far from a saint though
Protected by God, this ain’t rapping, I paint though, yeah

[Chorus]
The city never sleeps where I’m from
It’s hard to find relief where I’m from
Where I’m from
Where I’m from
The skies are my home now
Clouds all around, I don’t feel that alone now
Destiny is calling, got me looking for the phone now
Tell her look up, the skies are my home now
It’s my home now
The skies are my home now

[Verse 2]
Looking for the real, this is where it is
I’ve been fantasizing ‘bout it since a little kid
Lot of times I was unsure a little bit
Now I’m walking on a dream for the thrill of it
Here’s a penny for your thoughts, dance in the rain
Embrace the pain, that’s how clarity’s gained
Screw the money and fame, I’m a believer in change
So I like to make sense of things
Excuse the grammar, that’s that Alabama slang
They was playing Madden in the hood
I was on [?] and [?], taking flows and Monga, Futurama
But still held it down for honor when they needed me
And I ain’t proud but I need to be
These battle scars proof life never defeated me
And never will, most of your songs, we never feel
When I’m gone, let it be known I kept it real

[Chorus]
The city never sleeps where I’m from
It’s hard to find relief where I’m from
Where I’m from
Where I’m from
The skies are my home now
Clouds all around, I don’t feel that alone now
Destiny is calling, got me looking for the phone now
Tell her look up, the skies are my home now
This my home now
The skies are my home now
