Look Up in the Sky.
|
Look Up in the Sky.
|
Look Up in the Sky
|
You thought I was down.
|
You thought I was gone.
|
Thought I wasn't around.
|
You thought I left you alone.
|
But look Up in the Sky.
|
Just look Up in the Sky.
|
See that I'm everywhere
|
Everywhere
|
Shining Down on You.
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
Well, well
|
Is that our little author?
|
Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered
|
Your attention, Put back on the flow like the department of water
|
Taken off of the door like little Walter
|
Chess? Yes. Baby I'm Jerry Lawler
|
Rebel with a cause; Outlaw with the lawyer
|
Judge jury like a loop, Rap name Lupe, but my daddy named me Warrior
|
This is his memorial.
|
|
[Hook:]
|
You thought I was down.
|
You thought I was gone.
|
Thought I wasn't around.
|
That I left you alone.
|
But Look Up in the Sky.
|
Just look Up in the Sky.
|
See that I'm everywhere
|
Everywhere
|
Shining Down on You.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
No, I ain't the nigga trying to get a liquor line
|
When I be scriptin lines, Won't this petition sign
|
It says I'm sick of dimes, Sick of this prison time
|
I really love my people. I'm sick of pimping mine.
|
Now if we autotune that shit,
|
We can hear the songs from that opera room fat bitch
|
Tell em' it's not to pursue it, just shoe it like a blacksmith
|
We're trapped, and movin round in circles like it's chap stick
|
And that's the semi-circle way of thinking that we're chapped with
|
We'll rap is arounded ya head like the bandana's fabulous used to wrap his hats with
|
Rather being feds instead of National Geographic's
|
Well I'm not having it, naw.
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Thought I was down.
|
Thought I was gone.
|
Thought I was around.
|
I left you alone.
|
Look Up in the Sky.
|
Just look Up in the Sky.
|
See that I'm everywhere
|
Everywhere
|
Shining Down on You.
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
So, I say hello and this is for the third time
|
To everybody out there who ain't never heard mine
|
And if you haven't you know you ain't never heard line
|
Lu don't MOO. No COW WORDS (cowards(cow-herds)], you only heard LIONS (lines)
|
Not a facade cherisher, I'd rather have the scars
|
I don't idolize America, I'm dancing with the stars
|
Uh huh. All of them? Yeah, they are, too.
|
You look up and you see us Shining Down on you.
|
|
[Hook:]
|
You thought I was down.
|
You thought I was gone.
|
Thought I wasn't around.
|
That I left you alone.
|
But Look Up in the Sky.
|
Just look Up in the Sky.
|
See that I'm everywhere
|
Everywhere
|
Shining Down on You.
