Funky Dl 2 The Sky
[Intro]
You, you can
You, you, you can
You, you, you can
You, you, you can
[Verse One]
I remember when everything was so carefree
Look into my future with 20/20 so clearly
I had my plans mapped out
Trying to tell me I wasn't destined for greatness was aimless
Because I lacked doubt
I had to act out everything I saw for myself
I had the faith and I believed like there was nobody else
Willing to back me up and willing to invest in me
My destiny was trying to do the best for me
And I could never rest although they test and yeah they question me
But I would just confess to me I had a different recipe
I'm focusing excessively, but coming up against trials and tribulations
And getting judged upon somebody else's limitations
And in consideration of all the temptations
And all the frustrations, had to keep my motivation
That doesn't mean I've never shed a tear
Or had the feeling that the people that I love the most are never there
I've always heard people tell me life wasn't easy
From family that betray you and friends that can play you greezy
From partners you used to love now the sight of them make you queasy
If I came back from the future and told me, I wouldn't believe me
I'm two score and I've seen so much
But thank God he let me breathe so much
So I can be so much and from the bottom heart
Yeah I know it ain't that easy but I gotta tell you anyway…
[Chorus (x2)]
You can win, as long as you keep your head to the sky
[Verse Two]
Yeah I get it when you ain't getting the credit for the merits
And they edit, cos you don't fit they aesthetics yo'
Yeah I see it, but I almost guarantee it
You can overcome these obstacles when you reach and believe it yo'
Yeah I heard it, they saying you don't deserve it
Cos they judge you like they perfect
But don't make that be the verdict yo'
Yeah I know it, but I'm telling you
You owe it to yourself to go and show the world your wealth
Ain't talking money yo', huh
And it's an everyday struggle
Where you trying to build a picture
But some pieces of the puzzle are missing
And every time you try and speak, they try and muzzle
Won't listen, it's like a competition that you trying to win
Sometimes it seems impossible
But searching deep within for a level of resilience to take it on the chin
So whether you a long way from home
Or suffering something you don't condone
Or facing something unknown
Or wanna be around somebody, but you always alone
Or if you're contemplating giving up, or leaving the zone
The only thing that I can say is what I told you before
And just because it's from the heart, I'm gonna say it once more
I know that you've seen so much
But you so blessed to get to breathe so much
So you can be so much and from my very inner core
Yeah I know that it ain't easy, but I gotta tell you anyways…
[Chorus]
You can win, as long as you keep your head to the sky
Oooh, you can win yeah, oooh, you can win, ye-eh-ah
You-can-win-as-long-as-you-keep-your-head to the sky
You can win, as long as you keep - your head to the sky
[Outro]
I know that you've seen so much
But you so blessed to get to breathe so much
So you can see so much and from my very inner core
Yeah I know that it ain't easy, but I gotta tell you anyway...
I know that you've seen so much
But you so blessed to get to breathe so much
So you can be so much...
(oh-oh you can win, as long as you keep your head to the sky)
