Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This one's for you and me
Living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
With my arms out wide
I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
[Verse 2]
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters
[Verse 3]
By the time you hear this, I will have already spiraled up
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up
If I was you, I would duck or get struck
Like lightning, fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up
Point 'em skyward, uh
Had a dream I was king, I woke up, still king
This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking
Till nobody else even fucking feels me
Till it kills me, I swear to God I'll be the fucking illest in this music
There is or there ever will be
Disagree? Feel free
But from from now on, I'm refusing
To ever give up, only thing I ever gave up's using
No more excuses, excuse me if my head is too big for this building
And pardon me if I'm a cocky prick, but you cocks are slick
Poppin' shit on how you flipped your life around
Crock of shit, who you dicks tryna kid?
Flip "dick"? You did the opposite, you stayed the same
'Cause "cock" backwards is still "cock", you pricks
[Verse 4]
I love it when I tell 'em shove it 'cause it wasn't that long ago
When Marshall sat flustered, lackluster 'cause he couldn't cut mustard
Muster up nothing, brain fuzzy 'cause he's buzzing
Woke up from that buzz and now you wonder why he does it
How he does it
Wasn't 'cause he had buzzards circling around his head
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it?
Or was it 'cause some bitches wrote him off?
Little hussy-ass scuzzes, fuck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it?
What difference it make? What's it take?
To get it through your thick skulls
That this ain't some bullshit, people don't usually come back this way
From a place that was dark as I was in just to get to this place
Now let these words be like a switchblade to a hater's rib cage
And let it be known that from this day forward
I wanna just say thanks, 'cause your hate is what gave me the strength
So let them Bics raise, 'cause I came with 5'9", but I feel like I'm 6'8"
[Verse 5]
This one's for you and me
Living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
With my arms out wide
I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
[Verse 6]
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters
[Verse 7]
By the time you hear this, I'll probably already be outtie
I advance like going from toting iron
To going and buying four or five of the homies the Ironman Audi
My daddy told me, slow down, boy, you're going to blow it
And I ain't gotta stop the beat a minute to tell Shady I love him
The same way that he did Dr. Dre on The Chronic
Tell him how real he is or how high I am or how I would kill for him, for him to know it
I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back
So it's only right that I write till he can march right
Into that post office and tell 'em to hang it up
Now his career's LeBron's jersey in twenty years
I stop when I'm at the very top
You shitted on me on your way up
It's 'bout to be a scary drop
'Cause what goes up must come down
You going down on something you don't wanna see
Like a hairy box
Every hour happy hour now
Life is wacky now, used to have eat the cat to get the pussy
Now I'm just the cat's meow
Oww, outclass the count, always down for the catchweight like Pacquiao
Y'all are doomed, I remember when T-Pain ain't wanna work with me
My car starts itself, parks itself and auto tunes
'Cause now I'm in the Aston
I went from having my city locked up
To gettin' treated like Kwame Kilpatrick
And now I'm fantastic compared to a weed high
And y'all **** just gossiping like bitches on radio and TV
See me, we fly
Y'all bugging out like Wendy Williams staring at a beehive
And how real is that?
I remember signing my first deal, now I'm the second best
I can deal with that
Now Bruno can show his ass without the MTV awards gag
[Verse 8]
You and I know what it's like
To be kicked down, forced to fight
But tonight we're alright
So hold up your light, let it shine
[Verse 9]
'Cause this one's for you and me
Living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
With my arms out wide
I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
[Verse 10]
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters
