Bizzle, Kiddy Bizness - New Skies lyrics

Huh, you know they say the sky is the limit
But what happens when you reach your sky
And you realize there's still further to go?
Uh (J-Dot got to droppin') bizzle

Dear 'Pac, I hope this letter reaches you
As a young rapper
I'd always imagined speakin'
Through this pen like you did, man
All I wanted to be was you
Honestly, the level you on
To me was unreachable
I put you on a pedestal like I could never do
This half as well as you and I thought
It blasphemy to be compared to you
What you did at such an
Early agе was impeccable
But, you died at 25, from thеn you never grew
No disrespect to you
But, I've been growin' ever since one day
I may be the greatest rapper that ever lived


You included the truest to
Do and spewin' nothin'
But "Dear mamas" and "Keep your head up"'s
Music that you were fluent
I'm in my thirties now, life is so different
And I can't live it wit'
A twenty-five year old ceilin'
I'm too wise wit' more experience
Than you at two-five
My limit can't be you, 'Pac, I need a new sky

I gotta shoot high (Shoot high)
I think it's due time (Due time)
I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky)
New skies (New skies)
It's no limit too high (Too high)
I gotta pursue mine (Pursue mine)
I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky)
New skies (New skies)

Dear Pops, I hope this letter reaches you
As a boy, the definition of man to me was you
You brag about the women you had
I seen it too few bad ones
I'll admit that you had some heat wit' you
You were my protector until you
Got some drink in you when you became extra
And who could protect me from you?
You had a bad temper
But guess who got it too?
Me, and now I even see it
In my son Elijah too
You was a hustler and Moms used to be mad
I told her I ain't gotta go to school
I could be Dad 'Cause you ain't go to work
And you had what she had
That's probably why your son lost
Every job he had, heh
I tried to be a hustler and a player too
But eventually became me and
Stopped playin' you
I'm tryin' to shoot high for mine too
And too fly
My limit can't be you, Pops, I need a new sky

I gotta shoot high (Shoot high)
I think it's due time (Due time)
I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky)
New skies (New skies)
It's no limit too high (Too high)
I gotta pursue mine (Pursue mine)
I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky)
New skies (New skies)

Dear Lord, I hope this prayer reaches You
From a child until my years of wylin'
I would speak to You
Mama thought about twenty-five I'd
Probably be meetin' You and I did
But this ain't how she thought
I would be with You
Tried bein' everybody else, tried doin' me
Didn't know how much space had
Grown between You and me
I was in pursuit of cream
You was in pursuit of me
I would claim to follow You
But not a lot for You to lead
Though I knew Your way was right
I also knew Your way was hard
Knew that if I ain't for Christ
I would never make the mark
What I see is what I need
'cause every other thing
That I wanna be ends up under me
So I'ma have to chase somethin'
That'll stay out in front of me
They say that if you ain't for the stars
That you hit the moon though
Then maybe I can aim for
The sun and hit Pluto
You know, and if it's too high
If proves why only You, God
Can be my new sky

I gotta shoot high (Shoot high)
I think it's due time (Due time)
I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky)
New skies (New skies)
It's no limit too high (Too high)
I gotta pursue mine (Pursue mine)
I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky)
New skies (New skies)
