Ambitions In The Sky

(album: The Reason: A Defense Mechanism - 2014)

When your ambitions are in the sky...
And all of your tears and cried...

Uh, what the hell is going on
The butterfly effect, God what if I am wrong
And the songs that I jotted are nothing more than a bomb
For another plan amongst men
Tell me what is it to visualize skies blue
I do, whatever it takes, eyes glued
To a prize that I might lose if I ever win it
Sincerely my apologies, I know this I'm a sinner
When the chances are slimmer
And niggas that I know become winners not against ya
Happy for my brothers, I never pose an agenda
Just wanna know my timeline
Fine line between insanity and Einstein
My mind, see the brain is in a crunch
I'm searching for the truth but it's missing on a hunch
To have it and to lose, maybe I'm a dunce
But I'm human ma'fuckers, of course I wanna stunt
Got damn!

When your ambitions are in the sky
And life seems to pass you by
Do you really know why, know why, know why
When your ambitions are in the sky
And all of your tears are cried
Can you tell yourself why, oh why

Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
When, just do what I know

Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
When, just do what I know

And everybody got a dream
The scenes of the beautifully inclined
The Beamer, Benz and Bentley with the certified dimes
Who chase rich tastes from a rich man's wine
And we glorify it all, this is how it intertwines
Lust for removal of a simplistic minds
Criticize minds from another guy's shrine
Step into the shroud, block y'all off
Bitch ass niggas, y'all all soft
That's in my defense, can't take help
Pride is in my veins, nigga face yourself
And as I sit back on my self-made shelf
And witness what everybody's been accomplishing
Pain surfing through the noggin friend
Feeling locked again, sad part is I can't stop it man
That's what happens when you chase your goals
And it breaks your soul

When your ambitions are in the sky
And life seems to pass you by
Do you really know why, know why, know why
When your ambitions are in the sky
And all of your tears are cried
Can you tell yourself why, oh why

Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
When, just do what I know

Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
When, just do what I know

The nights fill emissions from artists who's in positions that are similar to I
The more I climb, the more behind, I find myself
Compared to my competitors on the side
Damn, this nigga be on that hack shit
Still struggling to be where he is (H-H-Hello thesis)
Hope shattered to pieces, thoughts are like glass
Looking to my stash of laughs and get gas
Next day sit on my ass to feed Tag
Depressed, relieve stress and leave past
Can I do that? Negligent to all of my intelligence
Falling victim to the system of irrelevance
Still greater than the ones you admire
Supplier of the higher understanding truly dire
So I bent knees [?] to the King who knows all
Trying to stay wise, homie this is truly what it's like

When your ambitions are in the sky
And life seems to pass you by
Do you really know why, know why, know why
When your ambitions are in the sky
And all of your tears are cried
Can you tell yourself why, oh why

Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
When, just do what I know

Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
Why, I can't let that go
When, just do what I know
