[Hook: Ahmir]

This one's for you and me

Living out our dreams

We're all right where we should be

With my arms out wide, I open my eyes

And now all I wanna see

Is a sky full of lighters

A sky full of lighters

[Verse 1: D-Pryde]

By the time you'll hear this I probably already flew away

Told me I wouldn't fly, but who the hell are you to say

That I can't grow a pair of wings and do it?

I throw my wings and spread 'em to the sky

And try to leave this chicken coupe one day

You can leave and try to hate from a glance

Just know that in my life 'til now nobody gave me a chance

Misunderstood, more than anything, in fact, all my fun fell

Feeling like I'm lifting backpacks full of dumbbells

Stop thinkin' I'll be off and away

Saying my head's in the clouds, but my body's in space

And even if you take these glasses off of my face

I'm still focused on my goal to keep the dominant place

Brain filled with clear statements, like, "You better achieve it."

I'm not givin' up the only thing I ever believed in

If I'm cocky, I'm hidin' the fact that I'm just too prideful

Actually, I take it back, I'll be cocky when I decide to

If Mama's bendin' backwards to keep the family active

I'ma blast with rap tactics so drastic so she’ll relax

In a million-dollar house that I'll buy her when I go platinum

Don't believe me now? Then believe my future tax bracket!

Bad at this, but I'm zoomin' up, too cool for ya

But I'll prove you hussy sissies I'm a balloon blown up

I don't care about you—if I'm rude, so what?

It feels so good to be more at it with pace

Feeling great, 'cause they always catch an orgasm off hate

If there's a time and place for fame, then I don't plan to be late

Insult my dream? I'll tear your nose out of your face

And honestly, I'm really getting so proud of my race

Put an Asian hand in the air, we're no longer out of place

And if they say you can't do it because of your ethnicity

Then please turn examples or a reference into me

I'm so convinced that my ass will be next in history

Ahmir, hit this beat! Yo…

[Hook: Ahmir]

This one's for you and me

Living out our dreams

We're all right where we should be

With my arms out wide, I open my eyes

And now all I wanna see

Is a sky full of lighters

A sky full of lighters

[Verse 2: Chilla Jones]

I wanna see a skyful

A delightful eyeful 'bout as high as the Eiffel

'Til the night's bright, the sight's so insightful

So why they wanna rifle shoot down and stifle

Our dreams? With a spiteful face

They frightful, I'm just tryna find my rightful place

But there's a whole lot of riddles in the rap game

But I'm the one, you can see it in the middle of my last name(Jones)

Blood, sweat, and tears, I'm dedicated

Dropped out, so they say I'm uneducated

Before I hit rock bottom, I levitated

(I was) Beyond devastated (but strong) I never faded

Tried to end the dram', they wanna escalate it

Tried to pull me down to the ground, I elevated

Played on, stayed calm, and I meditated

Now I'm an A-bomb with napalm detonated

I know you fellas waited

It's like an acid rainstorm whenever I brainstorm: umbrellas hate it

I gotta-g-gotta go 'til my fountain stops

'Til I'm c-c-countin' guap on the mountain top

Without balance or t-t-talent, they finally drop

I f-f-found a spot, they j-j-jottin' verses around the clock

I'm innovatin', they imitatin' the style

I got them c-c-cocky and they just c-c-copyin' how I rock

I'm hot, and this really should make it clear for you

I know you mad and I'm here for you

D-Pryde, J-Reyez, Chilla Jones and Ahmir for you

Trust, you can't compare us to a mere mortal

So strong, they hated for so long

I waited and transformed and made it to Voltron

And if it all goes wrong, I can't back out

'Cause I bring a lighter in the booth, man, I black out

[Hook: Ahmir]

This one's for you and me

Living out our dreams

We're all right where we should be

With my arms out wide, I open my eyes

And now all I wanna see

Is a sky full of lighters

A sky full of lighters

(J. Reyez: Mr. J-R-E-Y-E-Z)

[Verse 3: J. Reyez]

By the time you hear this I would've already made my mark

In the world, going far, everything I say is from the heart

Every moment from the start, my people guided me through it

Tryna make music, never lose it, I'ma keep it movin'

You're looking stupid if you hatin' someone you don't know

I see a glance of the future, see the greatness down the road

Got a plan, and a fewer mistakes I won't make

And fate is so great, today is a good day

And life just gets better when you appreciate

So put your lighters up! Let's all seize the day!

And live for the moment, get a cam and record it

And you can't ignore it, you gotta go feel awarded

I know it's hard, but you can never scheme to forfeit

I'm still the same little kid with a dream before this

You gotta go and own it, this is the right time

Celebrating with a cup of last night's wine

[Verse 4: Chilla Jones]

So, the moral of the story is

No matter who you are, you too can be glorious

Don't let 'em tear your dreams apart

Every celebrity was told they couldn't be a star

Don't let a slice to your psyche remain and be a scar

You got the brain, you got the heart

Courage; all from God, you ain't gotta go to Oz

Because everything you need, it lies within

So push towards what you believe when lies begin

I remember in September when the label said, "Amazin'!

Put your name on this page, and we will take you in!"

Good thing Ahmir persevered

Yeah, never let them haters win

Patient waiters, this finally about to serve like we caterin'

So bottom line is, I control my destiny

Screw jealousy and the rest of that garbage that you tellin' me

Get out of here, doubt in fear, my enemy

You're like a mattress salesman

I'm sleepin' on what you sellin' me

[Bridge: Ahmir]

You and I know what it's like

To be kicked down, forced to fight

But, tonight, we're all right

So hold up your lights, let it shine!

[Hook: Ahmir]

This one's for you and me

Living out our dreams

We're all right where we should be

With my arms out wide, I open my eyes

And now all I wanna see

Is a sky full of lighters

A sky full of lighters
