Текст песни Chasing the Sky - Yazz , Terrence Howard , Empire Cast

Open your eyes
To what you love to hate
You're up in the sky
But you ain't flying straight
Where do I go?
When I can't go home?
'Cause you sold it
And you lost yourself in you are just no more
Take every piece
Every piece of me
Whatever you need
My mind is changing
And I can't hide no
But, you know where I'll be
Mother
And I know
I said I didn't need it
I said I wasn't built for it
But now that I can see it
Damn right, I'm really made it for this
Chasing the sky, trying to fly
(Yeah, trying to fly)
And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard on me
You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly
So high, so high, so high
Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
It's like we can't even get along
Who right and who in the wrong?
Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction
Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching
Ain't nobody here to mediate it
And you would think that we wasn't even related
Why are we even throwing blows in the first place?
We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays
I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case
You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face
And we tried everything, now it's time for plan B
If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we?
I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa
I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly
Far from a perfect man
The fights and the lies, I guess you never understand
A mother and father who wanted for you much more than
Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today
And my love for you
Is the one thing that is true
Going all alone (Going all alone)
And I can't even trust all the people
Here inside my home (Here inside my home)
And if you are my brother
Then never let it get so wrong
That you turn your back on what we were
Turn your back on me, on your family, no
I know (Said I know)
I said I didn't need it
I said I wasn't built for it
But now that I can see it
Damn right, I'm really made it for this
(I'm really made it for this)
Chasing the sky
Trying to fly (Trying to fly)
And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard on me
You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
Fear of the sky, no choice but to fly
So high, so high, so high
