Eye In The Sky / VERSE V Lyrics

I had dreams of being a f*** rap star

Mad riches, bad b****, jewels, and supercars

I was 13, bumping "Nothing Was The Same"

Picked the pen up and said "f*** it, I got something to gain"

Need my name and face on billboards I used to ride by

Shotgunnin', earbuds in, plotted on my time

I'm from a city where they don't make it

But all I had was a chance, I would die before I don't take it

I found light in the darkness way before the fire

When I got it, put it to the spliff 'till I got tired

I found darkness all around me, so I took control

Became aware of my surroundings, home was never home

I got lost in the fiends I watched

And the hustlers providing for 'em 'round the clock

Found guidance in the people that came out of that

But I ain't have to follow Jay-Z's path unless it came to rap

Ain't hearing fables from labels, I never gave up freedom

You talking money I ain't talking back until I see some

Life's a b**** so ain't the game so I'ma have a threesome

Then ask 'em both for massages while I just kick my feet up

Give my mama Franklins while she's singing to Aretha

She was all I had as I grew up, b**** I don't need you

What I need is something deeper that I can't find

So I'm grinding till I blow, watch out for the landmine

I'm awake and up to get a bag

I won't stay, you're never seeing that

When I'm gone, there ain't no coming back

F*** the law, there's evil in the badge

I don't call on any other man

I been dropped right where I f*** stand

Don't depend on nobody

I'm on the run, so pray for me

I done been through hell and back, you know this

I been antisocial 'cause m********* be so bogus

Locked myself inside my room all summer, had to focus

So I can come and f*** the world up soon as it opens

Name a single artist that be doing it like I do

F- the numbers I still go on and on like I'm Badu

Last year nobody was there when I was homeless

This year I built a stu' now they all want a chorus

Ain't putting no one before me no more

'Cause everytime I showed love I was returned low blows

Thrown shots, until I buck back, but f*** that

I'd rather give shots to your boo and give her the f*** back

I ain't thirsty for revenge, 'cause I always win

R.I.P. to Nip, no money out, all money in

But what's money when you ain't where you wanna be?

I guess I gotta look for paradise in me

I'm awake and up to get a bag

I won't stay, you're never seeing that

When I'm gone, there ain't no coming back

F*** the law, there's evil in the badge

I don't call on any other man

I been dropped right where I f*** stand

Don't depend on nobody

I'm on the run, so pray for

Stop...

I've been to paradise before, 18 in Palm Springs

Out there, felt like I could be anything

Not a worry in my mind, cause I'm home now

Might just say goodbye to moms and the bros now

Forget that, 'cause this ticket is a round trip

But whenever I'm back home, I'm bound to trip

Ain't sleep at all before the flight, I done caught the blues

I knew my newfound bliss was too good to be true

Now I'm 21, three years of epiphanies since

Lot of pain inside my soul, I'm fiending for a fix

I realized paradise ain't a location

It's a state of mind, the world is yours, take it how you make it

A dreamland can't be indulged by a head full of nightmares

And the devil don't fight fair, so we should shed some light here

Pandora's box holds darkness no matter where it is

When it opens, its surroundings get covered in s***

You choose who to be, so I made my decision

To keep the box closed and tell all my demons good riddance

All my blessings got blocked off, I stopped wishing

I was put on earth to heal the masses, so I got a mission

I never had a success story to follow

That could get me where I'm going, so my pride I swallow

My ties, I cut 'em if my time is wasted

I got the passion and the talent, Libaax was born to make it

Just wait for the flights, wait for the tours

Wait to see us fill up stadiums that's made for sports

Wait for the inspiration that helps you find your truth

Keep your eye in the sky, cause it all belongs to you

It all belongs to you...
