Lyrics
0:06Rrr, rrr (Right)
0:07Time for us to reach for the skies
0:10Talk to 'em
0:11I've seen coal turn to diamonds
0:13And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
0:21What begun as a scene is no longer a dream
0:25Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers
0:31Whenever I went through something, it brought me closer to God (Come on)
0:34And I stayed in somethin', so now I'm closer to God (Come on)
0:37But closer to his heart, the attacks get stronger (Uh-huh)
0:39Become much harder to fight, and they last longer (Yeah)
0:42That's what it's always been: joy with the pain (Rrr)
0:45Dark with the light (Rrr), sun with the rain (What?)
0:47But, with the right perspective there's somethin' to gain
0:50Look for the good and the bad, like the sun when it rains
0:53I've seen coal turn to diamonds
0:55And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
1:03What begun as a scene is no longer a dream
1:08Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers
1:15I don't like better, better get you comfortable
1:17Comfort put you to sleep, even though it's up with you (What?)
1:20Hatin' our relationship, but what I love
1:22Hate it because it kills me, love it for what it does
1:25Every day I live, every day I die
1:28Don't always laugh but every day I cry
1:30Used to wonder why, now I enjoy the rain
1:33Be stronger with the struggle, can't live without the pain
1:36I just wanna be heard, fuck the fame
1:39My words will live forever, fuck my name
1:41Father God, please give me the strength I need
1:43I was born in the dirt, just like you planted the seed
1:46Let me grow
1:48I've seen coal turn to diamonds
1:51And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
1:59What begun as a scene is no longer a dream
2:04Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers
2:09Put your hands high and touch the sky
2:14Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers
2:20Put your hands high and touch the sky
2:25Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers
2:30Breezes in the summer comin' sky
2:35In jungles through the life of flashin' lights
2:41Feel for the, feel for far away
2:51Reach for the sky
3:07The sky is not in control of you
Rrr, rrr (Right) Time for us to reach for the skies Talk to 'em I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers Whenever I went through something, it brought me closer to God (Come on) And I stayed in somethin', so now I'm closer to God (Come on) But closer to his heart, the attacks get stronger (Uh-huh) Become much harder to fight, and they last longer (Yeah) That's what it's always been: joy with the pain (Rrr) Dark with the light (Rrr), sun with the rain (What?) But, with the right perspective there's somethin' to gain Look for the good and the bad, like the sun when it rains I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers I don't like better, better get you comfortable Comfort put you to sleep, even though it's up with you (What?)
