Empire Cast - Chasing the Sky Ft. Jussie Smollett, Terrence Howard & Yazz (Lyrics Video) (128)
[00:04.38] Open your eyes
[00:08.37] To what you love to hate
[00:11.02] You're up in the sky
[00:13.68] But you ain't flying straight
[00:16.62] Where do I go?
[00:18.74] When I can't go home?
[00:22.73] 'Cause you sold it
[00:24.32] And you lost yourself in you are just no more
[00:29.10] Take every piece
[00:31.76] Every piece of me
[00:34.95] Whatever you need
[00:37.60] My mind is changing
[00:40.79] And I can't hide no
[00:43.98] But, you know where I'll be
[00:46.37] Mother
[00:49.30] And I know
[00:54.08] I said I didn't need it
[00:55.93] I said I wasn't built for it
[01:00.98] But now that I can see it
[01:02.04] Damn right, I'm really made it for this
[01:05.49] Chasing the sky, trying to fly
[01:07.88] (Yeah, trying to fly)
[01:14.01] And now I see
[01:17.46] Just why you had to be so hard on me
[01:24.11] You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
[01:29.69] Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly
[01:34.21] So high, so high, so high
[01:38.99] Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
[01:41.91] Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
[01:45.11] It's like we can't even get along
[01:46.70] Who right and who in the wrong?
[01:48.29] Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
[01:50.94] I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction
[01:54.66] Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching
[01:57.59] Ain't nobody here to mediate it
[01:59.98] And you would think that we wasn't even related
[02:02.37] Why are we even throwing blows in the first place?
[02:05.29] We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays
[02:07.94] I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case
[02:11.13] You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face
[02:14.32] And we tried everything, now it's time for plan B
[02:17.77] If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we?
[02:20.43] I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa
[02:23.35] I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly
[02:26.54] Far from a perfect man
[02:30.52] The fights and the lies, I guess you never understand
[02:40.90] A mother and father who wanted for you much more than
[02:41.96] Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today
[02:44.62] And my love for you
[02:48.07] Is the one thing that is true
[02:50.99] Going all alone (Going all alone)
[02:54.45] And I can't even trust all the people
[02:56.57] Here inside my home (Here inside my home)
[03:00.02] And if you are my brother
[03:01.88] Then never let it get so wrong
[03:05.87] That you turn your back on what we were
[03:08.79] Turn your back on me, on your family, no
[03:15.70] I know (Said I know)
[03:18.09] I said I didn't need it
[03:19.95] I said I wasn't built for it
[03:24.47] But now that I can see it
[03:26.07] Damn right, I'm really made it for this
[03:29.26] (I'm really made it for this)
[03:30.32] Chasing the sky
[03:32.18] Trying to fly (Trying to fly)
[03:38.02] And now I see
[03:42.27] Just why you had to be so hard on me
[03:47.85] You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
[03:53.96] Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly
[03:59.01] So high, so high, so high
