Chasing The Sky - Empire Cast/Terrence Howard/Jussie Smollett/Yazz

Open your eyes to what you love to hate

You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight

Where do I go when I can't go home

Cause you sold it yeah you lost yourself in you are just no more

Take every piece every piece of me

Whatever you need my mind is changing

And I can't hide no but you know where I'll be

Mother

And I know

I said I didn't need it I said I wasn't built for it

Well no I can see it damn right I really made it for this

Chasing the sky trying to fly

And now I see

Just why you had to be so hard for me

You hear my roar then fill your legacy

Here to the sky no choice but to fly so high so high so high

Love's supposed to be thicker than water is

Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it

It's like we can't even get along who right and in the wrong

Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics

I tell you shut up you tell me be quiet too much dysfunction

Cut up like we at a riot kicking and punching

Ain't nobody here for me that ain't

And you would think that we wasn't even related

Why are we even throwing blows in the first place

We fight at cook outs picnics and birthdays

I tried to get a benefit but in the worst case

You keep on talking smack and end up with a hurt face

And we tried everything it's time for plan b

If bloods and crips can reconcile why can't we

I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa

I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka let's fly

Fly for a blessed man if I turn to lies I guess you never understand

A mother and father who wanted for you much more than

Life is a slight of hand if you hate it today

I've a lot for you if there's one thing that it's true

Going all alone I can't even trust all the people here inside my home

And if you weren't my brothers I'd never let it get so wrong

That you turn your back when you turn your back on me

On your family no

And I know

Said I know

I said I didn't need it I said I wasn't built for it

I wasn't built for it

Well no I can see it damn right I really made it for this

I really made it for this

Chasing the sky trying to fly trying to fly

And now I see

Just why you had to be so hard for me

No hard for me

You hear my roar then fill your legacy

Here to the sky no choice but to fly so high so high so high
