Live In The Sky Lyrics - King - T.i.

What's happenin', man 

It's T.I.P., you know 

I'd like to dedicate this song to anyone who done ever lost somebody 

To the grave, to the streets, or to the jail cell 

I done been in situations when I had to cope with all three, you know what I'm sayin'? 

I feel like the only thing I ain't done yet is die, you know 

But it ain't how I live while I'm here 

It's how I live when I leave, you dig? 

[Jamie Foxx] 

Life's ups and downs, they come and go 

[T.I.] 

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't alive, I hope they live in the sky 

Pray to God when I die that I live in the sky 

[Jamie Foxx] 

It's true, what goes around comes back, you know 

[T.I.] 

So when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't survive, may they live in the sky 

Tell God I wanna fly, let me live in the sky

My cousin Toot ain't have to die, right in front of his son 

And his wife, he lost his life strugglin' over a gun 

Give a damn what he done, it's my motherfuckin' fault 

And I loved that nigga to death, no motherfuckin' joke 

I can fell my eyes fillin', the Lord is my witness 

If I catch 'im, I'ma kill 'im, I made it my business 

Back in the day, you stayed in my business 

Taught me I ain't have to incorporate yay in my business 

Coincidentally, that's why today you're not with me 

My cousin died over some yay and I miss him 

Plus he had his family out, let's say she the eyewitness 

But her boyfriend did the shootin', judge gave a light sentence 

I heard that, now I'm dressed up in all black 

Shot up the whole 'partments, and still ain't brought back 

The best friend I had in Tremell, I lost that 

Guess your death was a lesson in life, it taught me that 

[Jamie Foxx] 

Life's ups and downs, they come and go 

[T.I.] 

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't alive, I hope they live in the sky 

Pray to God when I die that I live in the sky 

[Jamie Foxx] 

It's true, what goes around comes back, you know 

[T.I.] 

So when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't survive, may they live in the sky 

Tell God I wanna fly, let me live in the sky 

You ain't never seen a nigga ago to jail and sleep 'til day 2? 

Well, that's how sick I was when J-Rue 

Found out the hard way that was powder that they were tootin' 

Overdosed on herion, died at 22 

If ya ain't heard about your daughter, she smiles just like you 

So cute, even resorts to violence like you 

You know your baby mama loose, but ha, what can you do? 

And I got for myself, yep, it's been a few 

Now everything I do is for King, Messiah, Deyjah, Domani 

Tell the Lord, they all I got, so please don't take them from me 

From me standin' in the trap with Curran and Sir Cap 

Laughin' at the niggas who serve with no strap 

Tell 'em niggas, man, y'all trippin' with no maps 

Get robbed and that's the part where my pistol ain't no help 

Me, you, the crew just fell out over dough and a li'l crack 

Never could apologize 'cause you died, that's why they say that 

[Jamie Foxx] 

Life's ups and downs, they come and go 

[T.I.] 

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't alive, I hope they live in the sky 

Pray to God when I die that I live in the sky 

[Jamie Foxx] 

It's true, what goes around comes back, you know 

[T.I.] 

So when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't survive, may they live in the sky 

Tell God I wanna fly, let me live in the sky 

I bet you niggas think I'm livin' it up 

'Til you see polices laughin' as they pickin' me up 

Went from seein' how many bitches I could fit in the truck 

To three hots and a cot, is you kiddin' or what? 

Fuck how many millions I got, nigga, so what if I'm hot 

When I got prices on my head, feds rushin' my spot? 

A million haters want me dead, forced to carry a gat 

"But you is a seven time felon, what you doin' with that?" 

It's a catch-22, either you lose or you lose 

That's the way the game's structured, for real niggas to suffer 

And I ain't never been a buster, always stood on my feet 

Like a man, prepared to take whatever comin' for me 

A pussy nigga or polices with a warrant for me 

I'm a G prepared to die for what's important to me 

Look anybody in the eye who say he want it from me 

Put up the house and bet the odds if it's coming from me 

O.G.'s say I need to learn to be patient 

You tellin' me with these seven years of probation? 

Pistol charges and a host of other open cases 

If niggas only knew the kind of time I was facin' 

I try to keep it to myself, but sometimes I couldn't it 

Got four kids, the smiles on they faces 

Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet 

Take that away from me and my life is butt naked 

[Jamie Foxx] 

Life's ups and downs, they come and go 

[T.I.] 

But when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't alive, I hope they live in the sky 

Pray to God when I die that I live in the sky 

[Jamie Foxx] 

It's true, what goes around comes back, you know 

[T.I.] 

So when I die, I hope I live in the sky 

All my folk who ain't survive, may they live in the sky 

Tell God I wanna fly, let me live in the sky 

Ay, man, I'd like to dedicate this song to my cousin Toot 

Alejandro Tremell Morgan, man, I miss the shit out you, my nigga 

I'd also like to dedicate this to my homeboy J-Rue 

Jamal Hendrix, what's happenin' 

Also my partner Bankhead, (?), what it is, nigga 

P$C for life and death 

And my li'l homeboy Poncho, and my li'l homeboy Rico 

I shed tears writin' this song, homeboy, that was real talk, man 

Ay, I wanna live in the sky 

Hey, let me live in the sky 

Pray to God that I live in the sky
