Cyssero - Vanilla Sky lyrics

rate me

Starring in the eyes of ghetto America

Raised on the east side of the Met, where murder take lives

How we supposed to see the sun with all these gray skies?

And enough evil going on to break your fake ties

I’m flipping, niggas dying, sick of crying, can’t last long in this street game no more

And I’m sick of my niggas trying and failing, sick of the funerals, sick to my stomach

Sick of preaching, sick of telling younglings this what this shit could do to you

Really critically ruin you, but I understand, some of us take that risk

To make that grit, to feed them kids, put food on them plates

I do this for the struggle, us hustlers, single parent mothers, I feel you

I don’t care what they say, that is I don’t want to go

I’m sorry darling, I can’t stay, I said I’m headed to vanilla sky

Don’t make this hard on me, know that I don’t want to go

But it’s time for me to take control, I said I’m headed to vanilla sky

Headed to vanilla, headed to vanilla, yeah

Headed to vanilla, headed to vanilla

This struggle inspires my magic and I master my craft

I get it in, I ain’t nothing but a magician with a pen

This is the tell of lost innocence that grew into a man and gained wisdom

And in return I lost ignorance

Thank God I have a gift, I can really rap

So I’mma really unwrap this motherfucker, see what’s inside this shit

See what I get giving my all, representing my folks, the hood is people

With their light and dark side that represents they good and evil

I’m a person, don’t wanna be viewed as nothing else

And I learned that you don’t really know shit till you know yourself

And you ain’t never been broke you will never appreciate the wealth

And they wonder why they rain on top, be as short as a Keebler elf

I don’t care what they say, that is I don’t want to go

I’m sorry darling, I can’t stay, I said I’m headed to vanilla sky

Don’t make this hard on me, know that I don’t want to go

But it’s time for me to take control, I said I’m headed to vanilla sky

Headed to vanilla, headed to vanilla, yeah

Headed to vanilla, headed to vanilla

Vanilla sky
