Live in the Sky Lyrics - Jamie Foxx

1 What's happenin', man

2 This T.I.P., you know

3 I'd like to dedicate this song to anybody who done ever lost somebody

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

5 I done been in situations where I done had to cope with all three

6 You know what I'm saying?

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

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

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

10 [Chorus]

11 Life's up and downs, they come and go

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

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

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

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

16 So when I die, I hope I live in the sky

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

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

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

20 He lost his life struggling over a gun

21 Give a damn what he done, that's my motherfucking folk

22 And I love that nigga to death, no motherfucking joke

23 I can feel my eyes feelin' the lord is my witness

24 If I catch 'em, I'm a kill em

25 I made it my business

26 Back in the day you stayed in my business

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

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

29 My cousin died over some yay, and I miss him

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

31 But her boyfriend did the shooting judge gave a life sentence

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

33 Shot up the whole apartments and still ain't brought back

34 The best friend I had in Jamel, I lost that

35 I guess your death was a lesson in life; it taught me that

36 [Chorus]

37 Never seen a nigga go to jail and sleep till day two

38 Well, that's how sick I was when Jayrue

39 Found out the hard way that wasn't powder that they were tootin'

40 Overdosed on heroin, died at twenty-two

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

42 So cute, even resorts to violence like you

43 You know ya baby mama loose, but, ha, what can you do?

44 And I got four myself

45 Yeah, it's been a few

46 Now everything I do is for king, messiah, Dazasha, Demonte

47 Tell them lord they all I got, so please don't take 'em from me

48 From me standin' in the trap wit' Qerin and Sir Kap

49 Laughin' at the niggas who serve with no strap

50 Tell them niggas, man, y'all trippin' wit' no maps

51 Get robbed and that's the part where my pistol ain't no help

52 Me, you, and the crew just fell out over dough and a little crack

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

54 [Chorus]

55 I bet you niggas think I'm living it up

56 Till you see polices laughing as they pickin' me up

57 Went from seeing how many bitches I can fit in the truck

58 To three hots and a cot; is you kidding or what?

59 Fuck how many millions I got, nigga, so what if I'm hot

60 When I got prices on my head, Feds rushing my spot

61 A million haters want me dead, forced to carry a gat

62 But you's a seven time felon, what you doing with that?

63 It's a Catch 22, either you lose or lose

64 That's the way the game structured for real niggas to suffer

65 And I ain't never been a busta, always stood on my feet

66 Like a man prepared to take whatever coming for me

67 A pussy nigga or polices wit' a warrant for me

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

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

70 Put up the house and bet the odds if coming from me

71 OG's say I need to learn to be patient

72 You telling me wit' these seven years of probation

73 Pistol charges, and a host of other open cases

74 If niggas only knew the kind of time I was facing

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

76 Got four kids, the smiles on they faces

77 Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet

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

79 [Chorus]
