Sky Mad At Me

(album: All My Life - 2015)

I promise that I'm gon' make it through
Look at myself in the mirror, like "this ain't it for you"
I hear my momma holler out, "baby, come eat your food"
Don't know the more time I waste, the more dough I lose
They laugh at me. I guess I'm accustomed to this feeling
They called it country, but hell, that's just how we be living
Another dream, another scheme just to make a dollar
No fancy cars or clothes, but shawty's still holler
No [?], but we be popping bottles
Grey goose'll get ya loose, no more than a hundred dollars
I'm on my porch and I'm thinking bout' my past life
Hoping that all my troubles are over once my cash right, maybe not
Think of the world like a hood you can't drive through
Wish it was simpler like back in high school
When those books was the only thing you abide to
And lord, I was just wondering, what did I do to the sky?

[Hook:]
This life and time I don't care
Most of my life I blew smoke in the air
(I think the sky mad at me)
Because I know It ain't the limit
And outer space is where I'm going when I'm finished
(I think the sky mad at me)
Cause I don't tell it that it's lovely
I think it put the storm clouds above me
(I think the sky mad at me)
When it rains on my head, duck it
But I'm not hot enough to touch it
(I think the sky mad at me)

Maybe it ain't all bad
Keep myself smiling, looking towards the sun like it ain't all sad
I gotta get out on my own and build a shelter
Where honor ain't my girl, I'm without an umbrella
And it's raining. My Cadillac ain't swanging
My rims ain't big enough, and my people keep complaining
They thinking that I'm changing. I'm thinking I might fail
I'm grinding in this flood and these haters drop as hail
The weatherman funny. He claiming that it's sunny
We don't have a magic city, so it never rains money
And hurricanes coming. I swear that I can feel it
Grab a towel and bucket goes there's holes in my ceilling
I know that this ain't living. Yeah heaven's gon' be better
The more I shoot for good, It's like the rain makes me wetter
I know this ain't forever, so watch me make it mine
And lord, I was just wondering, what did I do to the sky?

[Hook:]
This life and time I don't care
Most of my life I blew smoke in the air
(I think the sky mad at me)
Because I know It ain't the limit
And outer space is where I'm going when I'm finished
(I think the sky mad at me)
Cause I don't tell it that it's lovely
I think it put the storm clouds above me
(I think the sky mad at me)
When it rains on my head, duck it
But I'm not hot enough to touch it
(I think the sky mad at me)

I think I smoked just a little too much, and now I'm outta my mind
(I'm outta my mind, yeah)
Cause I've been spending my days in the clouds, and baby, I wanna fly (I wanna fly, yeah)
And now my folks say I'm dreaming too much, and I'm wasting my time (wasting my time)
But I'm just tryna' make some sense out my life, so since I'm alive, that's why I stay high
