Chasing The Sky

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
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.

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
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.

[Verse 2: Yazz]
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.

[Verse 3: Terrence Howard]
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.

[Verse 4: Jussie Smollett]
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.

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
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.
