Symba - Touch The Sky lyrics

I used to trap all night
Just to cop off-white
I used to think all whites looked
At me like I ain't right
You should talk to me nice, if not
Then it's on sight
Duck for cover, motherfucker, if not
You lose your life
That's what happens when the value
Of life becomes a dollar
When ribs touchin' your stomach
Rumbles without a swallow
Lookin' for a nigga to follow
Who hit the lotto the irony is I prayed for
This lick I'm hittin' and I'ma pray again
Shoulda asked for forgiveness
I follow street codes and
My grandma's religion (I do)
I guess that's why I'm torn
Between cursed and being gifted
I guess that's why I'm torn
Between wifey and a mistress
It costs me nothing to pay attеntion (Nah)
But I'm still making decisions to
Charge shit that's too expеnsive
Taking chances, avoiding charges for a living
And tryna get rich
Stay street and dodge prison

They say it's hard to live but
It's even harder to fly
Tryna touch the money before I touch the sky
Before I touch the sky
Before I touch the sky
Shit, I'm scared to live, shit
I'm scared to die
Pray I find myself before I touch the sky
Before I touch the sky
Before I touch the sky yeah

Aiden's dad is Linda's son
And Prince' brother
Being Ronnie's nephew is pressure
Like no other (Man)
Sarah's grandson played the ports all year
Avoiding screening checks from TSA
It's no pack in here (yeah)
Never compromise my feelings just
To keep shit cool
If niggas can't see it through
Then they can't see you
That's what I tell myself moving forward
'Cause, I can't back to before if
We not movin' on one accord
Puttin' work in the Accord
Instead of civics classes
Fuck physics, we flew south and sold midget
No one ever told me that
I coulda been a dentist
Or havin' vested interest in prison, shit
That's a business
Money turn boys to men like Mike Bivins
Don't let the bright lights blind you
And bring you a life sentence
And if it does we'll be
Back there prayin' for forgiveness

They say it's hard to live but
It's even harder to fly
Tryna touch the money before I touch the sky
Before I touch the sky
(Before I touch the sky)
Before I touch the sky
Shit, I'm scared to live, shit
I'm scared to die
Pray I find myself before I touch the sky
Before I touch the sky (O oh)
Before I touch the sky
