Lyrics

(Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us)

(Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us)

(Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us)

(Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us)

Listen (Why you had to hide away for)

Listen (Why you had to hide away for)

Listen (Why you had to hide away for)

Listen (Why you had to hide away for)

Aston Martin, King Luther with dreams

The young Denzel the way I move through scenes

I'm like a preacher that once was a fiend

A story of change that came with wings

Pretty as the skyline, the sky is my eye line

Son of the most so from up high I shine

Suited in Prada, stay mellow like la-la

Young, fresh, with dollars, ladies go gaga

I'm the cum lauda, top of the class

Black Wall Street so my stock will never crash

Given what I ask, pure religion and cash

For the windows that open, I'm raising my glass

Daylight beams, night life schemes

This is my inception, I'm writing my dreams

Immortal view of a star doing what I'm born to do

I see the blue sky, say the Lord's coming through

Oh-oh, in the sky we'll find the light

Oh-oh, ain't too high, we'll shine at night

Now we in the skies, blue skies

And we going higher, that's right

It all started with a dream, I wanted to be Run–D.M.C

The Lord put the blessing upon the MC

O to the M, dreams were spoken to him

That's when I knew my flows would overflow to the rim

Open my eyes, yes sir this is what I'm made for

To go hard in the paint like D. Wade or

D. Rose, from the same streets that we rose

International heroes at world primos

Red carpet magic, taking pictures with the president

Told him for health care, my music is the medicine

My name holds weight, I am never hesitant

Different state resident, this is hood elegance

SLS classic, pursuing my passion

NOVA Fashion, now I'm Oscar party crashing

Immortal view of a star doing what I'm born to do

I see the blue sky, say the Lord's coming through

Oh-oh, in the sky we'll find the light

Oh-oh, ain't too high, we'll shine at night

Now we in the skies, blue skies

And we going higher, that's right

Aye-aye-aye

Silhouettes of dreams that we had huh

Even now it don't seem so bad, ma

Close my eyes to see things in front of me

I'm gone now, imagine what I'm gonna be

Dirty to worthy, now I'm all wordly

My broad up in Paris, looking all purty

Immortal view of a star doing what I'm born to do

I see the blue sky, say the Lord's coming through

Now we in the skies, blue skies

And we going higher, that's right

I had these dreams in my head of an endless sphere

I could see it from my window

Wouldn't take that long to get me there

Keep running 'til I can go

Remember the beautiful things that life could give me

Crazy how I'm the one

Could've been anywhere, but I'm sitting in the air

With the wheels up staring at the sun

Oh-oh, in the sky we'll find the light

Oh-oh, aint too high, we'll shine at night

Now we in the skies, blue skies

And we going higher, that's right
