[B] [E] Open your eyes to what you [C#m] love to hate
You're up in the sky and [A] yet you ain't flying straight
Where do I go when I [E] can't go home?
Cause you sold it and you lost yourself and you are just no more
Take every piece, every [C#m] piece of me
Whatever you need, [A] [E] my mind is [A] changing
And I can't hide, but you know where [E] I'll be, my love
And I know, I said I didn't need it
I said I wasn't [C#m] built for it
But now that I can see it, damn right I really [A] made it far then
[B] Chasing the sky, [E] trying to fly
Just trying, and now I see
Just why you had to be [G#m] so hard [C#m] for me
New emerald, it'll fill [E] your [A] legacy
[B] Fear of the sky, we don't do [E] it but to fly
So high, so high, so high
Love's supposed to be thicker than water is
[A] Nowadays we can't even [E] stomach the thought of it
[C#m] It's like we can't even get along, who [E] 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 [A] dysfunction
Cut up like we [E] 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 cookouts, picnics, and birthdays
I try [C#m] to get advantage, but in the worst case
You keep on talking smack, you end up with [F#] a hurt face
[A] And we tried everything at the time for plan B
If bloods and crips can reconcile, why [E] can't we?
I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my papa
I'm chasing the sky, and I ain't talking about the vodka
I'm a slide from a perfect man
The facts and the lies, I guess you'll never [C#m] understand
A [F#] mother and father [C#] who wanted [F#] before [A] you much more than
Life is a slide of hands, if you hate [E] it today
But my love for you, I don't think that it's true
Going all alone, going all alone
And I can't even trust all the people here [C#m] inside my home
But [A] if you were my brother, it'd never get so wrong
That you'd turn your back on what we were
Turn your [E] back on me, on your family
No, I know that I know
That when I didn't mean it, I said I wasn't here [C#m] for it
I wasn't built for this
But now that I can see it, that's what I'm really made [A] for
Chasing [B] the sky, to the sky
Trying [E] to fly, oh yeah
Trying to fly, oh yeah
I see, I see
Why you had to be so hard for [C#m] me
To make me feel my own, to feel your [A] legacy
Legacy, in [B] the sky
[E] Fly, mother, fly
So high, so high
