Live In The Sky

What's happenin', man? This T-I-P, you know?

I'd like to dedicate this song to

Anybody who done ever lost somebody

To the grave, to the streets, to the jail cell

I done been in situations where I had

To cope with all three, you know what I'm sayin'?

I feel like the only thing I ain't done yet is died, you know?

But it ain't how I live while I'm here

It's how I live when I leave, ya dig?

Life's ups and downs, they come and go

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky

All my folks who ain't alive, I hope they live in the sky

Pray to God when I die, that I live in the sky

It's true what goes around, comes back you know

So when I die I hope I live in the sky

All my folks who ain't survive, may they live in the sky

Tell God, I wanna fly, let me live in the sky

My cousin Toot ain't have to die, right in front of his son and his wife

He lost his life struggling over a gun

Give a damn what he done, - folk

And I love that - to death, no - joke

I can feel my eyes fillin', the Lord is my witness

If I catch 'em, I'ma kill 'em, I made it my business

Back in the day, you stayed in my business

Taught me I ain't have to incorporate yay in my business

Coincidentally, that's why today you not wit' me

My cousin died over some yay, and I miss him

Plus, he had his family out, let's say she the eye witness

But her boyfriend did the shootin', judge gave her life sentence

I heard that, now I'm dressed up in all black

Shot up the whole apartment's, he still ain't brought back

The best friend I had in Jamel, I lost that

Guess ya death was a lesson in life, it taught me that

Life's ups and downs (life's ups and downs), they come and go

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky

All my folks who ain't alive (wanna live, we can live in the sky), I hope they live in the sky

Pray to God when I die, that I live in the sky

It's true what goes around, comes back you know (comes back you know, bro)

So when I die I hope I live in the sky

All my folks who ain't survive, may they live in the sky

Tell God, I wanna fly, and let me live in the sky

Never seen a - go to jail and sleep 'til day two

Well, that's how sick I was when Jay-Ru

Found out the hard way, that was powder they were tootin'

Over-dosed on -, died at 22

If you ain't heard about your daughter, she smile just like you

So cute, even resorts to violence like you

You know your baby momma loose, but ha, what can you do

And I got for myself, yuh, it's been a few

Now everything I do is for King, Messiah, Deyjah, Domani

Tell the Lord they all I've got, so please don't take them from me

From me standin' in the trap wit' carryin' this here cap

Laughin' at the - who serve with no strap

Tell them -, man, y'all trippin' with no maps

Get robbed, and that's the part of my pistol ain't no help

Me, you and the crew just fell out over dough and a lil' -

Never could apologize 'cause you died, that's why they say that

Life's ups and downs (life's ups and downs), they come and go

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky (they come and go)

All my folks who ain't alive, I hope they live in the sky (hope you live, live)

Pray to God when I die, that I live in the sky

It's true what goes around, comes back you know (comes back you know)

So when I die I hope I live in the sky (yes, it does)

All my folks who ain't survive, may they live in the sky

Tell God, I wanna fly, and let me live in the sky (tell God, I wanna)

I bet you think I'm livin' it up

'Til you see polices laughin' as they pickin' me up (they just don't know)

Went from seeing how many - (the struggle) I can fit in the truck

To three hots and a cot, is you kiddin' or what?

How many millions I got, - so what if I'm hot (all the money in the world)

When I got prices on my head, Feds rushin' my spot (don't matter at all, yeah)

A million haters want me dead, forced to carry -

But you's a seven-time felon, what you doin' wit' that?

It's a catch 22, either you lose or you lose

That's the way the game structured, for real, - suffer (oh, yeah)

And I ain't never been a buster, always stood on my feet (oh, yeah)

Like a man prepared to take whatever coming for me

- A or polices with a warrant for me

I'm a G, prepared to die for what's important to me

Look anybody in the eye who say he want it wit' me

Put up the house and bet the odds if it's comin' from me

OG's say I need to learn to be patient

You telling me with these seven years of probation

- Charged and a host of other open cases (oh. that punk'd - wasn't funny by the way)

If - only knew the kind of time I was facin'

I tried to keep it to myself, but sometimes I couldn't take it

Got four kids, the smiles on they faces (yeah)

Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Take that away from me, and my life is butt naked

Life's ups and downs (life's ups and downs), they come and go

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky

All my folks who ain't alive (whoa), I hope they live in the sky (whoa)

Pray to God when I die (yeah), that I live in the sky

It's true what goes around (what goes around), comes back you know

So when I die I hope I live in the sky (better believe it)

All my folks who ain't survive, may they live in the sky

Tell God, I wanna fly, and let me live in the sky
