Look at the Sky - Deniro Farrar

Know that

Every morning I wake up

I look to the skies above and thank God for another day

Every night before I go to sleep

I look up to the stars and I pray

It don’t matter if you a scared nigga

A real nigga or the mother of a dead nigga

You still look to the sky when you pray

Know that

Birds chirpin', druggers lurkin', tryin' to find they crack rock

I’m in the kitchen helping my little niece pack up her lunch box

Still do or die 'round these parts so my gun cocked

Never know who might approach while standin' at her bus stop

Kiss her on the forehead, tell her make her uncle proud

Right after I hurt a nigga I fire up my blunt of loud

Now it’s time I hit the block, take my chances sellin' rock

I’m already fire hot, just had a run-in with the cops, yo

(They look at the sky)

Staring off into the sky, smoking kush until I’m high

Watching my life pass me by, I’m still tryna' figure why

My mama serving fast food, she work until her body tired

Do it all tomorrow, got too much pride to borrow

I’m selling drugs to my fam with no remorse or sorrow

Just tryin' to buy some time cause we ain’t promised tomorrow

My cousin’s car got repoed cause he ain’t pay his condo

I’m knee-deep in the dope game getting money in my cargoes

Reminiscent 'bout them days

Holding hands with my mama walking on that playground

Now I’m caught up in that drama

Just a statistic, upliftin' niggas spirits

I was born with the gift to paint these pictures with my lyrics

I’ve been diagnosed the sickest

With none of y’all permission

I used to get beat with switches

Now we beat niggas pretendin'

I’m gone off that gremlin and arms reaching my semi

Paranoid, schizophrenic

Pray to Lord ya’ll forgive me

Shit, I’m just a lost bird flying on the wrong path

My nigga with them chickens make them jump back a whole half

Feedin' pigeons with my niece

I’m tryin' to help her with her math, birds of a feather flock together

I’m so fucking glad

I turned out the way I did, without the help of my dad

Now I’m all alone, blowing strong in my bachelor’s pad

Penthouse on the top floor, I can’t see shit but these birds

They told me that I could fly, now my body on the curb

Word

Every night I hit my knees

I just pray that god turns me into a bird

I fly away (x2)
