Skies Are My Home Lyrics

City never sleeps where I'm from
it's hard find relief where I'm from
where I'm from, where I'm from
Found a new home in the skies
weakest souls be the strong in disguise

(Verse 1)
I'm from the city of gang bangers, schemers
with heavy metal, turn soft spoken to screamers
but I was a dreamer, caught up in the hype
products of environment, typical stereotypes
forced to fight for life, gain stripes under moonlight
vision impaired, slowly preparing for tomb sites
like Laura Croft in training, my energy never draining
I was born with this identity not Matt Damon
Midnight cloud rides are when I write the most
forming 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 Mr. Scrooge, for a plate for 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 polite
to nefarious leaders and those who follow them
know the belly of the beast aiming to swallow him
But you can't tho, I'm far from a saint though
protected by God, this ain't rapping, I paint tho

[Chorus]
City never sleeps where I'm from
it's hard 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
Skies are my home now

(Verse 2)
Looking for the real? This is where it is
I been fantasizing bout it since a lil kid
lot of times, I was unsure a lil bit
now i'm walking on a Dream for the thrill of it
Here a penny for your thoughts, dance in the rain
embrace the pain, that's how clarity's gained
screw the money and fame, I'ma believer in change
so I, like to make sense of thangs
Excuse the grammar, that's that Alabama slang
they was playing Madden in the hood, I was on Hwoarang
and Law, Tekken flows and manga
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]
City never sleeps where I'm from
it's hard 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
Skies are my home now
