Sky’s the Limit

[Verse 1: No I.D.]
Yo, poverty be shakin’ on every black block
Eyes get watery, from smoking’ crack rocks
In crack pipes, sun is down, pitch black nights
They be dangerous, unless your eyes adjust
To the darkness, spark this, rugged paragraph
It's bulletproof math, narcotics for addicts
Master scientists in labs break it down
Never B12, tongue is numb, pass it around
And check out manipulation of many minds
Creatin’, precipitation of many crimes
Yo, you steady talkin’ that yang on how it be
It's up in your face, but you just can't see
‘Cause arrogance'll have a nigga blinded
Rewind it and think about it, before you try and doubt it
Negative vibrations, they test my patience
Them wicked-ass people runnin’ radio stations
Want money for a slot but I don't cater to a devil
Whether black or white, all day, all night
All type eyes open so you know I see the gimmicks
I gotta tell these shorties sky's the limit

[Chorus: No I.D.]
Yo, sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take what you want
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep keep keepin’ on
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take what you want
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep keep keep keep keepin’ on

[Verse 2: Dug Infinite]
Ay little shorty, I’ve seen how your life is rough
Because I lived it, I’ve seen how these times is tough
I fought the uphill battles, against all odds
Strap your feet in the saddle, all praises to God
I know you want the good life and luxury cars
What you see is close range and what I see is from afar
I’m tryna warn you ‘bout the trap, that'll stab you in the back
You see, I never kick it falsely—I only spit the facts
On how equality strikes at the worst of times
Soon as you tryin’ to excel and elevate your mind
See, I was blind being led by the blind, eatin’ swine
'Til wise-dome got me refined, freed my mind
Hey shorty, do you know what I mean? Sky's the limit
A pawn in this game called life, I'm ‘bout to win it
It's hard for me to sit and see you do yourself
When I'd rather see you do someone else, and that's real

[Verse 3: No I.D.]
You keep me up nights late, tryin’ to put the food on the plate
In the ghetto black hole, unknown is the fate
Just a stack of rocks, unrefined black coal
Life tester, pressure, make you shine like gold
‘Cause yo, keep it real mean a nigga gotta kill
Two niggas bust, two niggas blood spill
Blame it on the ghetto like Heiny and the weed
But I'm damned and dead before it’s fed to my seed
You bombard my baby's brain with the game
So he can bust shots and sell rocks for fame
So when he get old, he got murder on the brain
Only one skill: that's rockin’ cocaine
'Til the world blow up, that's the brand new slang
And it don't take much for him to pull out the thang
And let it rain…let it rain…

[Chorus: No I.D.]
Yo, sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take what you want
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep keep keepin’ on
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take what you want
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep keep keepin’ on
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Can have what you want, not take what you want
Sky's the limit when you know that you
Keep on, when you keep keep keep keep keepin’ it on…
