Live in the Sky (feat. Jamie Foxx)

What's happenin', man

Hey, this T.I.P. you know

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

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

I done been in situations where 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 died, you know?

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

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

Life's ups and downs, they come and go

But when I die I hope I live in the sky

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

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

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

So when I die I hope I live in the sky

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

Tell God I wanna fly and 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 struggling over a gun

Give a damn what he done

That's my motherfuckin' folk

And I love that **** to death

No motherfucking joke

I can feel my eyes feelin', the Lord as my witness

If I catch 'em, I'ma kill 'em, I made it my bidness

Back in the day, you stayed in my bidness

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

Coincidentally, that's why today you not with me

My cousin died over some yay and I miss 'im

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

But her boyfriend did the shootin'

Judge gave her life sentence

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

Shot up the whole apartments

He still ain't brought back

The best friend I had in Jamel, I lost that

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

Life's ups and downs, they come and go

But when I die I hope I live in the sky

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

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

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

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 and let me live in the sky

Never seen a **** go to jail and sleep till day two

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

Found out the hard way

That wasn't powder that they were tootin'

Overdosed on heroin, died at 22

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

So cute, even resorts to violence like you

You know ya baby mama loose, but hey, what can you do?

And I got four myself, yeah, it's been a few

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

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

From me standin' in the trap with Qerin and Sir Kap

Laughin' at the **** who serve with no strap

Tell them **** man, y'all trippin' with no maps

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

Me, you, and the crew just fell out over dough and a little crack

Never could apologize 'cause you died

That's why they say that

Life's ups and downs, they come and go

But when I die I hope I live in the sky

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

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

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

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 and let me live in the sky

I bet you **** think I'm living it up

Till you see polices laughing as they picking me up

Went from seeing how many bitches I can fit in the truck

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

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

When I got prices on my head, Feds rushing the spot

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

But you's a seven-time felon, what you doing with that?

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

That's the way the game is structured

For real **** 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 **** 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 with me

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

OG's say I need to learn to be patient

You telling me with these seven years of probation

Pistol charges and a host of other open cases

If **** only knew the kind of time I was facing

I tried to keep it to myself but sometimes I couldn't take 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

Life's ups and downs, they come and go

But when I die I hope I live in the sky

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

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

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

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 and let me live in the sky
