Lyrics: Live In The Sky (feat. Jamie Foxx)

[spoken - T.I.]
What’s happenin' man this T.I.P.
You know Id like to dedicate this song to anybody who done ever lost somebody
To the grave, to the streets, to the jail cell
I done been in situations where I done had to cope with all three you know what I’m saying
I feel like the only thing I ain't done yet is died you know
But it ain't how I live while I’m here
It's how I live when I leave ya dig

[Chorus]
[Jamie] Life's up and downs they come and go
[T.I.] but when I die I hope I live in the sky
All my folks who ain’t alive I hope they live in the sky
Pray to God when I die that I live in the sky
[Jamie] It's true what goes around comes back you know
[T.I.] so when I die I hope I live in the sky
All my folk who ain’t survive may they live in the sky
Tell God I wanna fly and let me live in the sky

[Verse 1]
My cousin Toot ain’t have to die right in front of his son and his wife
He lost his life struggling over a gun
Give a damn what he done that my muthafuckin’ folk
And I love that nigga to death no muthafuckin’ joke
I can feel my eyes feelin’ the lord is my witness
If I catch ‘em I’mma kill ‘em I made it my business
Back in the day you stayed in my business
Taught me I ain't have to corporate yay in my business
coincidently that's why today you not wit me
My cousin died ova some yay and I miss him
Plus he had his family out let's say she the eye witness
But her boyfriend did the shooting judge gave her life sentence
I heard that now I’m dressed up in all black
Shot up the whole apartments he still and brought back
The best friend I had in Jamel I lost that
I guess your death was a lesson in life it taught me that

[chorus]

[Verse 2]
Never seen a nigga go to jail and sleep ‘til day two
Well that’s how sick I was when Jayrue
Found out the hard way that was powder they were tootin’
Over-dosed on heroin died at 22
If you ain’t heard about your daughter she smile just like you
So cute even resorts to violence like you
You know ya baby mama loose but ha what can you do
And I got 4 myself, yea it's been a few
Now everything I do is for King, Messiah, Dazasha, Demonte
Tell them lord they all I got so please don't take ‘em from me
From me standin’ in the trap wit qerin and sir kap
Laughing at the niggas who serve with no strap
Tell them niggas man yall trippin’ wit no maps
Get robbed and that’s the part where my pistol ain’t no hap
Me, you, and the crew just fell out over dough and a little crack
Never could apologize cause you died that's why they say that

[chorus]

[Verse 3]
I bet you niggas think I’m living it up
Till you see polices laughing as they pickin’ me up
Went from seeing how many bitches I can fit in the truck
To 3 hots and a cot is you kidding or what
Fuck how many millions I got nigga so what if I’m hot
When I got prices on my head Feds rushing my spot
A million haters want me dead forced to carry a gat
But you's a seven time felon what you doing with that
It's a catch 22 either you lose or lose
That’s the way the game structured for real niggas to suffer
And I ain’t never been a busta always stood on my feet
Like a man prepared to take what ever coming for me
A pussy nigga or polices wit a warrant for me
I’m a "G" prepared to die for what’s important to me
Look anybody in the eye who say he want it wit me
Put up the house and bet the odds if coming from me
OG's say I need to learn to be patient
You telling me wit these seven years of probation
Pistol charges and a host of other open cases
If niggas only knew the kind of time I was facing
I tried to keep to myself but sometimes I couldn’t take it
Got 4 kids the smiles on they faces
Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet
Take that away from me and my life is butt naked

[chorus]

[spoken - T.I.]
Aye man, I’d like to dedicate this song to my cousin toot
Alahondro Jamera Morgan man, I miss the shit out you my nigga
Also I’d like to dedicate this to my homeboy Jayrue, Jamar Hendrix what’s happenin’
Also my partna bankhead, [?], what it is nigga, psc for life and death
And my lil’ homeboy Poncho, and my lil’ homeboy Rico
I shed tears writin’ this song homeboy, that’s real talk man

[T.I.] ayee' I wanna live in the sky… sky… sky…
Hey let me live in the sky sky
Pray to god that I live in the sky... sky… sky

[Jamie] I want to live in the sky I want to live in the sky I want to live in the sky…
Why can't we live in the sky, the sky…
