Chasing The Sky-Jussie Smollett&
Empire Cast&Terrence Howard
Open your eyes to what you love to hate
You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight
Where do I go when I can't go home
Cause you sold it yeah you lost
yourself in you are just no more
Take every piece every piece of me
Whatever you need my mind is changing
And I can't hide no but you know where I'll be
Mother
And I know
I said I didn't need it I said
I wasn't built for it
Well no I can see it damn right
I really made it for this
Chasing the sky trying to fly
And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard for me
You hear my roar then fill your legacy
Here to the sky no choice
but to fly so high so high so high
Love's supposed to be thicker than water is
Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
It's like we can't even get along who right
and in the wrong
Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
I tell you shut up you tell me
be quiet too much dysfunction
Cut up like we at a riot kicking and punching
Ain't nobody here for me that ain't
And you would think that we wasn't even related
Why are we even throwing blows in the first place
We fight at cook outs picnics and birthdays
I tried to get a benefit but in the worst case
You keep on talking smack
and end up with a hurt face
And we tried everything it's time for plan b
If bloods and crips can reconcile why can't we
I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa
I'm chasing the sky
and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka let's fly
Fly for a blessed man if I turn to lies
I guess you never understand
A mother and father who wanted
for you much more than
Life is a slight of hand if you hate it today
I've a lot for you if there's one
thing that it's true
Going all alone I can't even trust
all the people here inside my home
And if you weren't my brothers
I'd never let it get so wrong
That you turn your back
when you turn your back on me
On your family no
And I know
Said I know
I said I didn't need it I said
I wasn't built for it
I wasn't built for it
Well no I can see it damn right
I really made it for this
I really made it for this
Chasing the sky trying to fly trying to fly
And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard for me
No hard for me
You hear my roar then fill your legacy
Here to the sky no choice
but to fly so high so high so high
