Kyle Rapps - The Sky's On Fire lyrics

rate me

Feat. Adrienne Mack Davis

(Verse)

I could be trapped at the bottom of a slave ship

And make it clap like Harlem in the 80' and set it back

Like starboard kids in Haiti, the earth is shaking

We all need bravery, I can see fact as a maybe

Fiction is shady, heart is achin', wanna blow like carbon, shake it

Seastarb and cakin', they say that the meek shall inherit the earth

We've all been waitin', feet are chasing, dreams are waisting

Keep awake and see the faces creep and glitch

And seekin', basic seekin', drownin' in a stream of complacence, see

Unless we reach into space and see we meant to be amazin'

Like the flame that keep it blazin', never cease to pray

When streets are ragin', peeps debatin', feets is racin'

Motherfucker, the green's for the takin'

(Hook)

Baby, don't look now

There's smoke in the crowd

Baby, hold it down

There's smoke in the crowd

(Verse)

Window rock when I went to Times Square

Many tears of redemption I cried there

Many black, yellow, browns, many whites there

Felt Buddha, Gandhi and Christ there

And dr. King looking on us with a bright stare

Harriet said we still gotta fight and they won't fight fair

Malcom looked up with a cold, with a glare that was Nat King Cole in the air

And we skipped on home like kumbaya, and recited our poems: Angelou Maya

And the rich stay rich and the fly stay fly

And the smokers got high and high up

And the poor still poor, and the war still war

And the people complain like a town cry out

Lookin' for American pie in the sky

Skies on fire

(Hook)

Baby, don't look now

There's smoke in the crowd

Baby, hold it down

There's smoke in the crowd

(Interlude x3)

Don't look down, smoke in the clouds

What goes up might neva come down
