Look Up in the Sky.
Look Up in the Sky.
Look Up in the Sky
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn´t around.
You thought I left you alone.
But look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I´m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.
[Verse 1:]
Well, well
Is that our little author?
Coming back, humming his hymns a little altered
Your attention, Put back on the flow like the department of water
Taken off of the door like little Walter
Chess? Yes. Baby I´m Jerry Lawler
Rebel with a cause; Outlaw with the lawyer
Judge jury like a loop, Rap name Lupe, but my daddy named me Warrior
This is his memorial.
[Hook:]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn´t around.
That I left you alone.
But Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I´m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.
[Verse 2:]
No, I ain´t the nigga trying to get a liquor line
When I be scriptin lines, Won´t this petition sign
It says I´m sick of dimes, Sick of this prison time
I really love my people. I´m sick of pimping mine.
Now if we autotune that shit,
We can hear the songs from that opera room fat bitch
Tell em´ it´s not to pursue it, just shoe it like a blacksmith
We´re trapped, and movin round in circles like it´s chap stick
And that´s the semi-circle way of thinking that we´re chapped with
We´ll rap is arounded ya head like the bandana´s fabulous used to wrap his hats with
Rather being feds instead of National Geographic´s
Well I´m not having it, naw.
[Hook:]
Thought I was down.
Thought I was gone.
Thought I was around.
I left you alone.
Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I´m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.
[Verse 3:]
So, I say hello and this is for the third time
To everybody out there who ain´t never heard mine
And if you haven´t you know you ain´t never heard line
Lu don´t MOO. No COW WORDS (cowards(cow-herds)], you only heard LIONS (lines)
Not a facade cherisher, I´d rather have the scars
I don´t idolize America, I´m dancing with the stars
Uh huh. All of them? Yeah, they are, too.
You look up and you see us Shining Down on you.
[Hook:]
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn´t around.
That I left you alone.
But Look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I´m everywhere
Everywhere
Shining Down on You.
Shining Down on You
Shining Down on You
Shining Down on You
Look Up in the Sky.
Look Up in the Sky
You thought I was down.
You thought I was gone.
Thought I wasn´t around.
You thought I left you alone.
But look Up in the Sky.
Just look Up in the Sky.
See that I´m everywhere
