^EI know I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built fo^C#mr it But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it ^Afor this Chasing the s^Bky, trying to f^Ely

Just why you had to be so hard fo^C#mr me You'll hear my roar then fill your l^Aegacy Here to the ^Bsky, no choice but to f^Ely, so high, so high, so high

^EBlood is supposed to be thicker than water is ^ENowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it ^C#mIt's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong? ^C#mToo busy pointing fingers like it's politics ^AI tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction ^ACut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching ^EAin't nobody here to mediate it ^EAnd you would think that we wasn't even related ^EWhy are we even throwing blows in the first place? ^EWe fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays ^C#mI tried to give the benefit but in the worst case ^C#mYou keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face ^AAnd we tried everything, it's time for plan B ^AIf Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we? ^EI guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa ^EI'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly
