Be There - Mic Righteous, Tone

I look up to the sky, I don’t see…

…Why you don’t seem to be there…

…I look up to the sky, I don’t see you

Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there

(If you believe heaven is here, you see heaven appear)

I ain’t who I used to be

Ever since I come up on this music scene

Maybe cause I’m under all this gluttony

What if I was you and you was me

Tell me, what you would do without no food to heat

And tell me, what you would do without no room to sleep

And would you, turn to usage and soothe the feeling or

Turn to loot and then lose your freedom

In every interview they ask me who I believe in

I can’t keep explaining it’s losing meaning

To tell the truth if it is the truth you’re seeking

I never knew my bruise like a fruit to seed just confused

On my back looking through the ceiling

Never really prayed and it ain’t a secret

When I do I have no clue as to who may receive it

Probably think I would just look in at my facial features but

(Think I would just look in at my facial features but)

I look up to the sky, I don’t see you

Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there

I look up to the sky, I don’t see you

(If you believe heaven is here, then you will see heaven appear,

one more time like)

Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there

Yo

And I don’t even say this much

But I don’t see your face when I’m facing up

And when I seem to pray it’s like my brain just shuts

You can blame my brothers in the way they raised me up

We ain’t no, Brady Bunch but they gave me luck

But then I, they can come when they ain’t enough

You gotta, take the punch just to taste the blood

I wouldn’t, trade my place if it changed my luck

I couldn’t, follow my faith I was out on my own

Straight pup but my household’s out of control

Wasn’t out on my own when I found me a home

In a white world with a deed tryna find myself

Take a good look at what your eyes see

Create an idea for who you might be

I was out on the streets nine team with me and my team

Thinking maybe heaven isn’t what it might seem like

(Thinking maybe heaven isn’t what it might seem like)

I look up to the sky, I don’t see you

Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there

I look up to the sky, I don’t see you

(If you believe heaven is here, then you will see heaven appear, one more time)

Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there

(If you believe heaven is here, then you will see heaven appear,

one more time like)

All hope is gone and will you still hear me

Please stop the pain show me a sight

Cause I got nothing left in me to give

If there’s a way out then who will show me

I’ve run out of time can’t please me life

How am I supposed to make it right

I look up to the sky, I don’t see you

Someone tell me why you don’t seem to be there
