Chasing The Sky Lyrics - Empire Cast: Season 2,, Vol. 2 Of Empire - 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 

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 really made it for this 

Chasing the sky, trying to fly 

And now I see 

Just why you had to be so hard for me 

You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy 

Here to 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, 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 

I've a lot for you, if there's one thing that it's true 

Going all alone, I can't even trust all the people here inside my home 

And if you were 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 

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 really made it for this 

Chasing the sky, trying to fly 

And now I see 

Just why you had to be so hard for me 

You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy 

Here to the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high
